FileBot Xattr Metadata Scanner

The FileBot Xattr Scanner will read name / year / season / episode / etc from xattr metadata instead of guessing and parsing information from the file path. This scanner will greatly enhance primary agents such as Plex Movie or TheTVDB, regardless of whether files are named according to {plex} standards or not. Files without xattr metadata will be ignored.

FileBot Xattr Metadata Agent

The FileBot Xattr Metadata secondary agent can contribute title / airdate / etc from xattr metadata instantly, to improve your browsing experience while the primary agent is still busy in the background retrieving complete movie and episode information and artwork.
