My problem is that i am very anal when it comes to consistency.
Seeing some of the flags and not all will bother me. If i have the Question Marks
everywhere it will drive me nuts so hopefully there will be a way to turn them off
if they aren't fully functional for all my files. I prefer All or Nothing.
As for your NFO issue, i have 1500+ NFOs for Movies and 6000+ NFOs for TV
Episodes.
Your best bet is to use Media Companion and let it do the bulk of it and then
tweak them manually (still with media companion)
For the Movies, sometimes, IMDB doesn't have the plot information so i go
get the missing info from Allmovie.com. If i still can't find it, i usually can get
it from amazon.com/.ca/.fr . Also googling the movie title with synopsis will
yield some nice info.
For missing posters, google and a graphic editor is all you need. I have it down
to a science. I even created some scripts that will automatically switch from
banners to posters for TV Shows (if you have both) and i made some right
click scripts where it will take an image and and rename/copy it to the proper
folder.jpg/filename.tbn... It saves sooooooooooo much time you have no idea!
I do this because i want to have control over the poster i want for my Movies
and TV Shows. Once i have my images set, Media Companion does the NFO
and fanart.
BTW: Didn't i send you a bunch of NFO's a while ago? Were you able to use
them at all?
