Hello,


I've a couple of mkv movies on disk which are served by serviio. I've configured serviio to use "Online Metadata" and download DVD Covers / Posters. This works pretty well as I can see the correct DVD Covers when I connect to the serviio server by a client like a TV or Kodi from a computer. Furthermore, serviio is able to find out the correct genre or movie creation year. I didn't find out though how to configure serviio to show movie descriptions or a short summary. 

1. is there a way to configure serviio so that it also downloads from internet and shows corresponding movie information like a movie summary?

2. is there a way to configure serviio so that it extracts movie information from mkv (matroska) tags, e.g. the tag "SUMMARY" or "Description"? -- some of my movies contain movie information there which is apparently not used by serviio.My clients are mostly kodi or sometimes Samsung TVs if this matters.


Any help will be apprecited.


I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
