Description

The program will remove the codec from the *.nfo files used by Jellyfin Media Server, as they share the exact name. The nfo file is generated by Jellyfin when scanning new media and includes data about the movie, such as actors, as well as file info. When the names match, Jellyfin may just use the existing nfo file, even though the video file has changed. This would cause issues with displaying resolution and codec data on the client side. When the video file is changed, the nfo file needs to be updated. Jellyfin may notice a file name change and generate a new nfo file, bt this behavior is unconfirmed. The program could simply delete the nf file of the same name, forcing Jellyfin to create a new one. This would require either a server administrator to know the files have changed and force a media scan, or have instant file scanning enabled in Jellyfin. I disable instant scans as they slow down such systems as the Raspberry Pi 400.
