The question is : Does their access rights (files permissions) allow them to be read from the Android system ?
I just discovered something, I don't know if it's helpful: when I use the file manager that comes with Android TV, nfo files won't display; When using a third-party file manager, it can display

This confirm that the .NFO files have wrong access rights.

Thank you, but why can't Kodi access nfo files like a third-party file manager?

For the same reason that the file manager that comes with Android TV doesn't see them.

You will have to compare all the file attributes of the NFO file with the attributes of the video file and fix the differences.
The most probable cause is a "hidden" attribute or a "system" attribute.

I tested it again, and when I plugged my portable hard drive into my computer, turned on SMB sharing, and then scanned movies in Kodi, it was too strange
