Make your movie names match TMDB names and years.

Scapping forces you to organize your video library.

I'm trying to add my personal home movies, not commercial movies. I'm not going to name "Our Christmas 1995" as "Star Wars 1975."

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I have found that I can view a list of the files if I go to the videos menu, select the thumb drive, navigate to the correct folder, and then can view a list of files and play from there, but that can be quite overwhelming and tedious for an elderly couple, lol. I'm looking for a fairly idiot proof solution. I'd like them to show up in the movies menu with thumbnails and a title.

It still seems like an oversight to not have an option to "Include Unmatched Videos In Library." By default Kodi should show all video files in the library with the option to exclude unmatched videos. Plex on the other hand will include anything you put in the library. It can be a little wonky sometimes for the same reasons (trying to find it in the TVDB database), but it does work.

I've probably got over a hundred videos tapes that are being digitized, do you have a resource on how to get started with scripting or the batch creation of nfo files for a personal media library?

Is there a plug-in or add-on that will disable movie scrapping? Or rather, if a movie can't be matched by a scrapper, Kodi will just use the file name and pick a frame from the video to use as the thumbnail? I'm digitizing all of my old home movies and I want to put them on a standalone streaming box so I can just plug it into my parent's TV and they can watch all our old home movies easily.

I saw you can make your own nfo files for each movie, but is there a more automated way to accomplish this? It seems like a huge oversight that Kodi doesn't by default show all videos in a library, whether or not they match a movie in a database.
