FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Table of Contents

Installation

Requirements: PHP >= 8.3
Extensions: ext-simplexml

Quick Start

Parsing a file

Parsing a string

Supported NFO Types

All 7 Kodi NFO types are supported. Each is parsed into a typed readonly model.

NFO Type Model Root XML tag
Movie MovieNfo <movie>
TV Show TvShowNfo <tvshow>
Episode EpisodeNfo <episodedetails>
Artist ArtistNfo <artist>
Album AlbumNfo <album>
Music Video MusicVideoNfo <musicvideo>
Movie Set MovieSetNfo <set>

Multi-episode files

When an .nfo file contains multiple <episodedetails> blocks, the parser returns a single EpisodeNfo with all episodes accessible via $nfo->episodes:

NFO Variants

The parser automatically detects the variant of each NFO file — no configuration needed.

Variant Content Description
Metadata XML only Standard NFO with full media metadata
Parsing URL only Single-line scraper URL; Kodi fetches metadata remotely
Combination XML + trailing URL Metadata NFO with an additional scraper URL appended

For Parsing NFOs, you can also build a model directly:

On Combination NFOs, the scraper URL is available on the model:

Serialization

Any model can be serialized back to a valid NFO XML string using NfoSerializer:
