TVDB and TMDB Artwork Issue

Hi all

I've encountered the strangest problem. I've just loaded Kodi onto a Raspberry Pi 2 and a Windows 7 laptop.

I set the content for my locally stored TV series and movies, using TVDB and TMDB respectively.

Issue 1: On the Raspberry Pi, TVDB doesn't give me half the artwork options it does on the laptop. Eg. Game of Thrones Season 6 on has the promo poster available on the Pi.

Issue 2: On the Raspberry TMDB loads all the artwork for the movies perfectly, but on the laptop it only loads screen shots.

Both are set up identically and both drives contain no nfo or picture files.

Any suggestions?

Cast/Actor images are not populating on the movie information screen.

Kodi v17.3 on Arch Linux + Plasma KDE.

The cast/actor images are not populating on the movie information screen.
(However Extended Info Script does fully work. From its button and with arrow up on a highlighted actor.)

"Update library on startup" is switched on in "Media Settings >> Library >> Video library".
"Download actor thumbnails" is switched on in "Media Settings >> Videos".
I also cleaned the library twice in "Media Settings >> Library >> Video library".

Then I bumped into this forum thread : https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2600920
And checked the 2 addons mentioned.

The addon metadata.themoviedb.org is reported as version 3.9.5 by the addon My Addons browser in Kodi.
But when I look into the file it is at version 3.9.2 :
/usr/share/kodi/addons/metadata.themoviedb.org/addon.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<addon id="metadata.themoviedb.org"
       name="The Movie Database"
       version="3.9.2"
       provider-name="Team Kodi">

CHOP! CHOP!

Than the other addon metadata.common.themoviedb.org.

In /usr/share/kodi/addons/metadata.common.themoviedb.org/addon.xml I see version 2.14.0 :

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<addon id="metadata.common.themoviedb.org"
       name="The Movie Database Scraper Library"
       version="2.14.0"
       provider-name="Team Kodi">

CHOP! CHOP!

and in /home/LOGINNAME/.kodi/addons/metadata.common.themoviedb.org/addon.xml i see version 2.16.0 :

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<addon id="metadata.common.themoviedb.org"
       name="The Movie Database Scraper Library"
       version="2.16.0"
       provider-name="Team Kodi">

CHOP! CHOP!

So I replaced the folder containing version 2.14.0 with the folder containing v2.16.0 and fired up Kodi.
But alas, no change. And again no library update.

What else can I do/try ?

How do I choose what scraper is used with a specific TV Shows?

I've had almost no issue with the default scrapers pulling correct information, however, I'm running into an issue with a new addition to my collection and that is Archer (2009) Season 3. Season 3 is officially 13 episodes long but Kodi scrapes it as 10 episodes. The first episode of season 3, in my collection, is named "Archer - 3x01 - Heart of Archness Part I". However, in Kodi it labels it "01. The Man From Jupiter", which is technically episode 4. However, playing that first selection plays "Heart of Archness Part 1". The entire season is off by 3 episodes. I'm guessing this is a scraper issue as some scraper db's have Season 3 listed incorrectly. How can I select this episode to pull metadata from another scraper?

Hi. This is the first time I participate in the forum. I am a Graphic Designer and FOSS enthusiast. I am a casual user of Kodi. It's one of my favorite open source programs.

I installed Kodi. I see the Metadata TV Series switched to thetvdb.com. Themoviedb.org also handles series.

Which one to use by default? I want to enter some TV shows.

Greetings.

I just recently had to do a fresh start on Kodi 17.4 because I was having some issues. Since reinstalling my library a lot of are not scraped and I can not fix it like I used to do.

HI

maybe stupid question but, is it possible to active more than just 1 scrapper for the same movie folders? My problem is that one scrapper recognizing 130 movies and another one 135 for example, so each scrapper misses some movies which the other can find but it seems like its not possible to scrapp the files with different scrappers same time? i tried to add the folder 2 or 3 times just selected different scrappers but it looks like kodi just uses ONE and ignores the others then

Kodi/TVDB not picking up a few random TV shows

I've recently adopted Kodi on my HTPC and noticed that it hasn't picked up the metadata for a few TV shows:

The Frankenstein Chronicles (2015)
Les Revenants (2012)
Pryde Of The X-Men (1989)
The Spectacular Spider-Man (2008)
Wolverine And The X-Men (2008)
X-Men Evolution (2000)
X-Men: The Animated Series (1992)

I've double-checked the names of the folders, and each has an entry on TVDB. Can anyone figure out what the confusion may be?

Thanks!

Empty result when scraping TV show (thetvdb)

Pretty embarrassed I can't figure out a solution myself.

Tonight I was replacing the SD episodes of one of my existing TV shows with HD versions. I deleted the old *.mp4 files and copied the new *.mkv files in their place. As it was approx 60 episodes, I thought it would be easiest to just delete the show from my library, and rescrape the entire show in its entirety.

After deleting the show from within the library (context menu -> manage -> remove from library), I went into file browser view, navigated to the directory holding the show, and pressed I to force a rescrape. The scraper offered the correct show and I pressed OK. Usually this will bring me into the Info view for the show, giving me a chance to select artwork, etc.

This time, the Info window did appear, however with no TV show metadata displayed -- no artwork, no title, no description, nothing.

The show is available at thetvdb.com -- https://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=79682&lid=7
My folder is not named the same way, but does come up in a search if using my foldername -- "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni"

I've pasted the debug log at https://pastebin.com/NFwfnE4k
The scrape attempt starts at around line 1503 I think.

It's a big log file, but hopefully someone can help me out.

Need help with media scraper?

I have ran media companion on my files. it scraped maybe 50%..
A LOT of movies were duplicated, as in one movies info was given to 30+ movies
As well as a whole bunch wimply skipped

The folder was movie name (year)
not sure why this is, but any scraper I have tried within kodi to fill the gaps simply see's these movies as complete

I am unable to find an option within media companion to show me a list of movies with missing info. and it's frankly driving me up the wall
Going through and manually scraping this number of files is simply not an option.

Any idea why, even with info missing in the movie folder, the kodi scrapers are still not filling in the gaps?


Thank You

Movies with Dolby Atmos only showing as TrueHD?

This may have been addressed elsewhere but couldn't find it. Whenever I scan Dolby Atmos movies I've ripped with MakeMKV into the library the metadata only identifies the film as Dolby TrueHD. Is there a way to get KODI to identify it correctly as an Atmos film and show the Atmos logo? I suspect this may be the same with DTS:X films as well.

REGEX for \[year] film name\ folders

My films are stored as

\films\[2009] Moon\moon.2009.bluray.mkv

These used to scrape fine. But some stage when the upgrade to Krypton happened I found my films now won't scrape and I need to manually select each one. I realise this is because the Year is on the front of the folder names instead of at the end.

Is there any way to get KODI to scrap my folder layout? I have been trying to get my head around REGEX but can't work out what I'd need to add to the advancedsettings.xml

I have a QNAP NAS that has KODI 17.3 on it. I have some of my DVD collection that is saved in the Video_TS folder directory format. The scrapers I use for movies are the Kodi Universal Movie Scraper and the Movie Database scraper. When they fail I get a list of these based on how many video named files are in the Video_TS folder. Video (Kodi Screenshot)
Imaginative title. Now I am sure this is a fine clip but it is not in my library and never will be. Is there a way to tell the scraper to never hit on this result?

Until recently the Universal Movie Scrapper or The Movie Database scrappers were working as expected and adding movie data when I added a new movie to the Multimedia/Movies folder.

Now neither one works. I have uninstalled both and uninstalled orphaned dependencies. I can install from repository and I get the message that the add-on has been enabled but, the "RUN" is grayed out and it is not running when checking in the add-on browser.

I read that common dependencies must be installed first but I cannot find what that means.

Law & Order: True Crime

So annoying issue for new TV show Law & Order: True Crime. Trying to scan the episode from this week to my library and even though the entry shows up on TVDB: https://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=episode&ser...1092&lid=7

And it shows the TV show correctly listed if I choose to look at the files themselves, the TV show does not show up in my TV Shows listings. Going into the files list, the episode I have gets the correct name from TVDB (Episode 1) but when I click on it there, it comes back with No information found and lists the name Law & Order True Crime. I tried to rename as I noticed there was a longer version of the name to Law & Order True Crime The Menendez Murders it still says no information found.

Any suggestions? Or is it because the show is so new? I didn't have this problem with The Defenders at all. Or Castlevania.

I now have three "The Tick" TV series and I cannot figure out how this is happening.

The Tick

The Tick (2001)

The Tick (2016)

My folder structure for each

The Tick -> Season 01 -> The Tick S01E01

The Tick (2001) -> Season 01 -> The Tick (2001) S01E01

The Tick (2016) -> Season 01 -> The Tick (2016) S01E01

The scraper keeps adding The Tick (2016) episodes to The Tick in KODI v16.1 jarvis (yeah - I need to upgrade)

I tried creating tvshow.nfo with this as its only entry the URL as its only entry

https://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=317654&lid=7
[url=https://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=317654&lid=7]
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

[TVDB Scraper] [Feature Request] Honour language from tvshow.nfo ID and/or URL

October 6, 2017, 1:30 pm

I have a large collection of primarily-English TV shows, however some of them are of a variety of other languages. In some instances, I have different sets of files representing the same series but in different languages.

When adding the "TV" folder, one seems to implicitly define a language which will be used for all series scanned (it's an optional setting). All well and good until you hit something which you don't want in English, since it will regardless use the English title and metadata (no matter what the folder-name of the series was).

I had hoped that the tvshow.nfo file would permit me to override this. For example, consider the possibility of the following folders in TV/

My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic/
My Little Pony - Freundschaft ist Magie/


In my case, the latter contains a tvshow.nfo with the following content:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<tvshow>
   <title clear="true">My Little Pony: Freundschaft ist Magie</title>
   <showtitle clear="true">My Little Pony: Freundschaft ist Magie</showtitle>
   <id>212171_de</id>
</tvshow>
http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=212171&lid=14

The language is effectively specified here both by the _de and by the &lid=14 markers (in the ID and URL respectively), but unfortunately both seem to be ignored, and the English metadata is used; the only thing that IS honoured is the manually specified Title.

The user is forced to resort to manually selecting the series folder in the Files viewer, and setting an individual language override.

Might it be possible for this to be done automatically by the scraper, based on either of the two indicators I've mentioned here?

EDIT: It seems that this has been asked before, if not with a very informative thread title. https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...nguage+nfo
