Tvheadend

You have 2 options if you're looking to integrate your recordings into Kodi's TV Shows interface:

The first is to set Tvheadend to save recordings in a format that Kodi's scraper will understand. Personally, I already save them in this manner, even though I don't use Kodi's interface to view them. You most likely want something like: title/title-episode-subtitle.ext

The other option is to use a script. However, depending upon how you want your NFO file formatted, you'll need to query Tvheadend to get the info from its DVR database, then use that information to generate the file. If you provide more detail about what you want exactly, perhaps you might get more detailed replies.

Main goal is to provide metadata for my plex media server.

Currently I'm using tvplexend but it seems that this doen't work for all or older recordings.

Therefore I want to have the metadata in a separate file because it seems plex can handle nfo-files from kodi (according to plex forum)

If that's the case, Kodi's NFO files are XML files. Also, they require one NFO file for the Series, and a separate NFO file for each episode.

Personally, I've never gotten Kodi to properly parse NFO files for TV Shows, only Movies. But, if you are interested:

I am also really interested in something like this.

I tried adding my TVH recording folder to Kodi as a TV Library source and changed the recording format to that suggested above.

Unfortunately, I am still finding that a few recordings never show up for various reasons.

I am using the tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite grabber for my EPG, so not only do I get full and accurate show information, including Season and Episode, but also a .jpg for the show.

Is there any way that I can take the EPG information that TVH stores with each recording and create a .nfo file with it?
