Yes

That will work

That will not work.

Why not do...
Breaking Bad - 01x01 - Piloto [1080p].STRM
Breaking Bad - 01x01 - Piloto [1080p].NFO

or
Breaking Bad - 01x01 - Piloto [1080p].mkv.STRM
Breaking Bad - 01x01 - Piloto [1080p].mkv.NFO
(I don't know if this one will work, but it might)

Both of those ways work. I Tried. But as I export my strm files from the google Drive addon and it results always with the extension of the file (like mkv, avi etc) added to the end of the filename (like this: Breaking Bad - 01x01 - Piloto [1080p].mkv.STRM), this does not work properly with my nfo files and folder struture (I always use local information from NFO files and have too many of episode files to rename them [again]).
Anyway. We will be Waiting for a change in nfo files for episodes in kodi or in srtrm exported files in google drive addon .
Thanks for your time.

Sorry, but you may be waiting a loooong time. There is no plans, or reason, to make any changes to NFO File naming in Kodi. Smile
