Info Files

Parsing files with .info extension is what this custom Plex Media Server agent was created for. It's important to name these files appropriately; otherwise, they will not be detected by the agent.

When creating your .info files, note that text for the text tags (e.g. summary ) could be placed on multiple lines, and empty or missing tags are ignored.

Personal TV Shows

There are two versions of .info file that are used for media Shows - show.info and episode.info files which are placed respectively in show and episode directories.

Example of show.info:

placed on multiple lines.

Personal Movies

.info files for movies should have the same name as their corresponding movie video files. For example, for a movie Home Movie (2021).mp4, the info file should be named Home Movie (2021).info.

Here is an example of a movie info file:
