The first tab is for movies only. It contains what I consider to be the bare minimum to create an NFO file, but not all of them are required.

​

Required fields: File Name, Movie Title and Plot

File Name

This need to be the same name as you video file in order for Kodi to read it.

You do not need to add the extension.

Movie Title

This is the Title that Kodi will display for your video.

The checkbox to the right will copy the File Name to this field.

Runtime

You need to enter the runtime of your video in minutes

Director

You can choose a director from the list or type it in.

The Directors List can be edited in the Add Directors windows

Poster Link

Enter the path to your poster located on your computer or enter a URL to the picture.

Keep in mind that the URL needs to end in .jpg, .png (or any other picture format)

Fanart Link

Enter the path to your Fanart located on your computer or enter a URL to the picture.

Keep in mind that the URL needs to end in .jpg, .png (or any other picture format)

Genres

KNC comes with a list of standard Genres from IMDB.com.

You can choose up to 3 Genres for your movie.

The Genre List can be edited in the Add Genres window

These icons let you know if your information will be saved as a project or not.

Any manually created nfo files will be saved so you will see the green icon.
