It would be great if I could see my downloaded artworks for my .strm files during playback.
As it stands, I'm not seeing any.
I see the artworks outside of the player, but none while playing.
Also, it would be great if some of the info in the .nfo files could be seen when I click I during playback
Thanks

Did you find a solution to this? I also struggle with this topic. The Kodi "video" icon is showing whiles playing a .strm file.
Would love to see the poster of a specific movie or tv show when playing a .strm file playing fron kodi library..

Player artwork is set from the Kodi player or add-on launching the video, not the strm itself.
As for database artwork, scrape the strm into kodis db and it will have artwork. You can also create custom nfos and scrape...
BTW I should point out that your issue has more to do with using illegal strms... a strm should link to an networked source, if it links to a addon that resolves that information and redirects you to some random illegal site... I can't see how you can every have player artwork for it, unless it's embedded into the streaming video.

I too am using the .strm over smb:// but can't get the metadata to be handed off to the player.......
I have for example
<TV Shows >
- The Bing Bang Theory
- Season 01
The Big Bang Theory S01E01 - Pilot.strm
The Big Bang Theory S01E01 - Pilot.nfo
I added that to the kodi library then for the .strm I have
smb:// M / TV Shows on Bluray/ The Big Bang Theory S1 D1/ 00043.m2ts
All works well no issue except while in the play it only shows 00043.m2ts with no information when I press <I> while watching the clip.....
any ideas other then renaming the .m2ts, that I won't do because I want to keep the bluray backup in contact.
