Format exported Files .json .xml .description

[elsakuh]

Using --write-description Write video description to a .description file --write-info-json Write video metadata to a .info.json file --write-annotations to an xml file

question here: Is it possible to influence the export format inside the files.

Example: .json output is 1 line with a huge count of informations:

What I wanted to achive is to get out a certain formatted information that can be used by another program in my case I want to create an output formatted file like Kodi "movie.nfo"

...wanted to copy and paste the nfo in xml format but it gets sensless interpreted by this side :-) so here is what i ment :http://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files/Movies

to organize my downloaded videos in Kodi with the decent Informations inside

"So can I change the output format of supported files mentioned at the top?"

If not as an workaround: As I am not an Python expert (just try to start) may be there is a program.py that analyze the .json or the other files and can pull and export it in a Kodi readable way

Thanks in advance

That is not possible. You should consume JSON output and produce one you need based on it.

ok thanks! try to learn Python to write a program that does so ;-)
