Hello I have switched the value of "Descriptive metadata" in serviio console to option "xbmc .nfo files" which leads to skip all online databases. I am happy to generate nfo files semiautomatical when adding new video to my library. All goes quite well, genres name of movies, actors and so one works like a chaim except of serials feature. What should I provide to servii to get TV series feature enabled
I have read Online metadata sources section in online help. And my files have a pattern names as follows: movie_S01_E001.avi and so on.
And which genres is supported? Is there a list of allowed genres or it is possible to use any genre I'd like. For example i whant to separate anime and animation, so may I use differen genres values?

OK here is the answer on one question.
There should be one file named tvshow.nfo in the directory with tv-show files, format as described here:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=NFO_files/tvshowsand each nfo file for each episode as described here:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=NF ... tvepisodesWich genres is allowed is still an open question.

<outline>A medical engineer and an astronaut work together to survive after an accident leaves them adrift in space.</outline>
<plot>The crew of the Space Shuttle Explorer is working on the STS-157 mission. Mission Commander Matt Kowalski, medical engineer Dr. Ryan Stone - who is on her first ever space mission - and flight engineer Shariff Dasari are on a space walk when they learn from Houston control that an explosion has just occurred at a Russian satellite. Before the crew can do anything about it, the explosion debris comes hurtling toward Explorer, irreparably damaging the shuttle and station, immediately killing all the crew except Kowalski and Stone, and knocking out at least incoming communication with Houston control, although they have no idea if there is outgoing communication. The two are left in a precarious position as Stone is untethered with quickly decreasing oxygen on her person meaning that Kowalski has to retrieve her quickly if she has any chance of survival. Even if he can retrieve her and get her some oxygen, they have the difficult task of trying to get to another satellite with whatever equipment is on hand, and from there ultimately back to Earth. Through the process, they are often on their own without the other leading to an extreme feeling of isolation which leads to individual questions and ultimate decisions about their own mortality and what may be best for the other at the expense of oneself.</plot>
