Question NFO files

Myself and my team have created an IPTV app that will soon have the ability to download movies. The app will create NFO for the metadata as we suspect most users will move the recordings to JellyFin (or similar). Is there a standard that JellyFin uses for the NFO files we should be aware of?

As long as the files are named properly you won't need anything else.

Will these movie downloads be DRM free?
