Metadata files

What it is for

Kodi, Jellyfin, Emby and other tools keep what they know about a film or an episode in an NFO file beside it. Kaveo reads those files, and writes them so a correction you make reaches every other program.

How to use it

1. Nothing to switch on — if your library already has NFO files, Kaveo uses them for the title, plot, genres and saga instead of guessing.
2. Right-click a film’s card, or an episode’s row on its series page, and choose Write metadata beside the file.
3. Look for the message naming the file Kaveo wrote.

Good to know

• Kaveo will not touch an NFO file it did not write — it leaves another tool’s file alone and tells you so.
• Writing happens only when you ask, one title at a time; an episode’s file is written from its row, not the series card.
• Music’s metadata lives in its own audio tags and is left out.
