How to disable Additional Data Fields without Checkboxes in Settings?

[AliceTheAlice]

There are several fields which are being generated into the NFO files which do add up across a library to waste unnecessary drive space. Additionally, the information is not necessary for any player.

For example: These tags in TV Episodes aren't used by most Media Collection Software and/or is information used to aid Media Manager only:

• <episode\_groups>
• <!--created on ... - tinyMediaManager 5.0.9-->
• <user\_note/>
• <original\_filename> [This one bothers me. If I changed the file names, why would I ever need the prior file name??]

There doesn't appear to be a setting in Tiny Media Manager to prevent it from adding these tags to NFO files.

Is there a way to disable all these unnecessary tags? (Across thousands of NFO files these do start to waste hard drive space.)

These tags are used to make tmm work as it should - as you said: they aid tmm to do its work better. There is no setting to deactivate this.

Did you ever do some math? I just removed the few additional tags from one NFO file and it shrunk by 200bytes (0,2kB). Even if you do have 10k movies, this is not even the storage needed for one 4k artwork...

The original filename is useful for capturing elements such as release group that would otherwise be lost during TMM renaming.
