## What is MetaData.?
## What is MetaData?

Metadata is a name for a collection of files that contain information about a show or episodes (like actors, show id's, etc.) and images (posters, fan art etc.).
Many third-party media players use those files to display additional information about a show, or it's used to show descriptions in your native language. The files are called `tvshow.nfo` or `poster.jpg` etc.

The real advantage comes when you have many show folders that have metadata. SickChill will detect those shows automatically and you can mass-add all the shows with a simple click.
This allows the building of a fresh database to be extremely quick.

## What metadata type should I use.?
## What metadata type should I use?

This depends on the type of media player you use. Your Western Digital player may use other files than your KODI player.
The most universal is probably the KODI 12+ type. And that is the one we advise to use.
Also, you don't have to use metadata in combination with a player, as it's also handy to use the metadata with SickChill.

Again depends on the situation. But it's generally advised to at least add the `Show Metadata` file for a show.
That will allow you to add the shows to SickChill with a simple click.

The next step is selecting the metadata files you need. This depends on your preferences, but we advise adding the `Show Metadata` at a minimum. You can also select poster/banner in case you prefer to store those on your disk so that SickChill doesn't have to download them.
Push on `save` and the settings are saved, and with the next show update the metadata files will be created.

Post Processing is a name for a collection of actions that are taken after a file is downloaded. You can think of moving the file, renaming or any other process you prefer.

## Post Processing explained
## Post Processing Explained

To start Post Processing in SickChill you have 3 possibilities. The fist (default) one is to let SickChill scan/monitor the `TV Download Dir` for newly downloaded episodes by your download client. Once SickChill detects a new file the Post processing starts. The second possibility is [Manual Post Processing](https://github.com/SickChill/SickChill/wiki/Post-Processing#manual-post-processing). The third method is using a script to inform SickChill that a new episode was downloaded. This is the ideal/preferred way for NAS devices. As this method doesn't need the constant scanning of the `TV Download Dir` it will allow the hard disks to go into sleep. Some might already be familiar with the SABtoSickbeard script that is used in combination with SABNZBz. However not all download clients support the running of those scripts after a download so SickChill can be informed.
For more detailed information about an individual setting see the [Main Settings Wiki](https://github.com/SickChill/SickChill/wiki/Settings-explained#post-processing).
