Doing it this way library populates, all text info is there so I assume NFO's are working , am missing some artwork but that will be my end so am I right in thinking , if I rescan using a network scraper kodi will only be using the second scan to add the missing content and all the content produced from the local scan is used by default , therefor making library usage more efficient ?(2019-06-20, 07:23)ontap Wrote: can i just drag and drop an nfo file into itOpen the NFO File, copy the contents, then paste into Kodi Paste Site
Once again thanks for indulging my ignorance.

- If you have missing local artwork, then Kodi will follow the links in the NFO File to retrieve the missing artwork.
- If you have missing NFO File, Kodi will scrape from online sources, but still use local artwork.
