XBMC nfo files
Author: ffDiaporama Team

The .nfo file for XBMC allows XBMC to recognize the rendered videos as movies.

- When doing a scan or an automatic new file discovery, XBMC uses the .nfo files.
- During a manual refresh, XBMC offers you to find the film through one of its scrapers. Refuse its proposal to use the information contained in the .nfo file.
