*I want to point out that the Developer of the "TheMovieDB.org" is aware of the bug and concluded that the the problem is on kodi's side...

The bug - text in Hebrew that contain quotation mark will display wrongly in Kodi. the first quotation mark will be replaced by \ and everything after it is absent. for example, the text:
Text inside the "Random movie collection" overview, will show up incorrectly.
will show up in Kodi like this:

Solved - Animation Series Scraping Info - help

Hi everyone !

I'm sorry , i'll try to do my best to write in a correct english , but it isn't my main language ^^

I use Kodi since 4-5 months for all the films stocked on my computer, and i'm really appreciating it.
I decided so some days ago to use it also for all my animation series that i stocked on my computer.

But i've a problem with the information scraping :/ i checked on "theTVDB" if the animation was refered , and that's the case. (D.Gray-Man)
Each time i refresh my video library , Kodi is refering the three first episodes of a "Mario" animation instead the goods one. (I also tried to clean the library and update again, no changes)

I checked also the naming convention for the episodes, set it as it was indicated, but nothing changed :/

I post you my file structure here :

E:
-- Series
-- -- Anime Series
-- -- -- D.Gray-Man
-- -- -- -- D.Gray-Man S01
-- -- -- -- -- D.Gray-Man S01E01.avi (analysed as mario episode 1)
-- -- -- -- -- D.Gray-Man S01E02.avi (analysed as mario episode 2)
-- -- -- -- -- D.Gray-Man S01E03.avi (analysed as mario episode 3)
-- -- -- -- -- D.Gray-Man S01E04.avi (not analysed)
-- -- -- -- -- ...
-- -- -- -- D.Gray-Man S02
-- -- -- -- -- D.Gray-Man S02E52.avi
-- -- -- -- -- D.Gray-Man S02E53.avi
-- -- -- -- -- D.Gray-Man S02E54.avi
-- -- -- -- -- ...

The folder "Anime Series" is the video source directory that i created in Kodi (because i've another directory with TV Series like Walking Dead)
Did i made a mistake in the naming convention or in the file structure ? Any advice for this problem ? :/

Thank in advance for all the answers Smile

PS : Sorry if i made a mistake in the section, but i didn't find where to put that kind of problem instead of the video one

Universal Movie Scraper not fetching certification from IMDB

I noticed all my recently scraped movies were rated NR. I Checked the logs and found that
Code:

DEBUG: scraper: GetIMDBCountryCert returned <details><url cache="tt0944835-reference.html" function="ParseIMDBCountryCert">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0944835/reference|accept-language=en-us</url></details>

ERROR: ADDON::CScraper::Run: Unable to parse web site

The tt0944835-reference.html file was created and contains all the information. I re-scraped movies that did have a certification rating on them and watched them lose it.

I'm on metadata.universal 4.1.8 and metadata.common.imdb.com 3.0.3, with Kodi 17.6 Git:20171114-a9a7a20.
<setting id="imdbcertcountry" value="United States" />

All other URLs from IMDB work just fine:
Code:

DEBUG: scraper: GetIMDBRatingsById returned <details><url cache="tt0944835-main.html" function="ParseIMDBRatings">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0944835/|accept-language=en-us</url></details>

While debugging, I found that if I changed the 2 to a 5, on lines 5 and 6 below, 350 and 351 in metadata.common.imdb.com/imdb.xml, everything worked just fine, but can't figure out why 2 or any other number throws the error.

Problem with TVShow scraping - Shetland Series

March 31, 2018, 1:15 am

Greetings.....

Raspberry Pi3 OSMC - Estuary Mod

I have three seasons of the Shetland series ripped as MKV.  A few weeks ago these were showing fine in my poster view but when I added some additional movies and updated the library I received a message about not being able to connect to the server (?).  I updated the Movie and TVDB scrappers and the library update went through.  However, the Shetland series wasn't scrapped correctly.

Season 1 and 2 are ok but Season 3 now has no poster.  Episode names appear truncated as well.

I used Ember Media Manager to check the same folders on a different machine and it scapes all the series correctly and generates the artworks and .nfo file.   I then moved these back to the Rasp Pi machine and cleaned and updated the library but Season 3 is still not showing correctly.  (Note: there were no artworks or .nfo files on the Rasp Pi system before I copied them over.)

I'm not sure where to go from here.  It's only a slight annoyance but if anyone has any suggestions they would be welcome.

Thanks

Hi community,
could you please help me, how to handle series with a different number of episodes than thetvdb.com or themoviedb.org. The Night Manager ->Link<- for example has 6 episodes on thetvdb and themoviedb. The version I have has 8 episodes (see Wikipedia: international version 8 episodes). However, this version is not offered by the Grabber.
Do you have an idea or a solution?

Popular Movies (TMDB) & Trending Movies (trakt.tv) as smart playlist

Dear community,

Background: I´ve a bunch of movies in my library and I don´t like to scroll through all the movies. Smart playlists offer nice features so filter/sort. However I would like to use information coming from communities like TMDB or trakt.tv.

I´m wondering if there is an addon available, which matches the existing movie library (comes in my case from an emby server) with available api lists from TMDB and trakt.tv regarding popular movies / trending movies.

I found the following, but unfortunately this doesn´t fit into my needs:
For instance the ExtendedInfo Script has included the mentioned lists, unfortunately it doesn´t match these lists with the available movies of my library.
Another addon "Skin Helper Service Widgets" is matching movies: "IMDB top 250 movies in my library", unfortunately only IMDB, but not from TMDB or trakt.tv.

Is there an addon available, which offers such a matching of trending/popular movies with Kodi-libraries? And would it be possible to use such an addon in a smart playlist or as submenu in a nice skin?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Solved - Looney Tunes has me totally "Looney" I am going mand here.

I have all my Looney tunes files properly scrapped and vetted to absolute perfection.  They come from multiple sources and are all scrapped like this.

Folder:  Looney Tunes
Season: Season xxxx (the year)
episodes: Looney Tunes.SXXXEXX.the name

example 
c:\Looney Tunes\Season1930\Looney Tunes.S1930E01.Sinkin' in the Bathtub

I have a test folder and no matter what I do Kodi will not properly scrap the files and add them to "TV Shows".
They don't show up at all.  I have tried "The TVDB" & "TMDB TV show scrapper",  nothing.

Origionally I had every episode together in one giant folder.  Then I read on the forums I needed to set season folders as years.  Such as "Season 1930".



Any advice from someone who has got their Looney Tunes files to scrap would be greatly appreciated.

TVDB - version questions and errors

April 5, 2018, 10:08 pm

I've been crawling all over the forums and need clarification please.  I was on the latest nightly v18 build but was having issues so I did a clean install with 17.6, deleting old profile folder and starting fresh.  According to some posts (like this one), the current TVDb add on version is v4.0.2.  On every install of Kodi I've tried so far, 3.0.1 is the newest version I've seen, and it can't be uninstalled.  ( screen shot of add on screen here.)  That post also said to check the TMDb common library version in the dependencies area of settings, but when I look there I don't even see it there at all, and can't find a place to install it.  (screen shot of dependencies screen here.)  My Kodi Add-on repository is version 2.5.10, which seems to be the latest.  After this fresh install literally the only thing i have done is changed the skin, nothing else.  

TVMd scraper just doesn't work at all anymore.  I'm fairly confident this is an issue larger than just my machine, because starting about 3 days ago I've been having this same issue with the scraper across multiple machines in multiple locations.  All with the same error:  Unable to connect to remote server.  Would you like to continue scanning?  Sometimes it will randomly start working, but will stop mid scan and error again.  I've read through this as well, and it never mentions what the current scraper version actually is except "V2.0.x" in the title or any sort of troubleshooting i can do.  Plus it's almost 6months old, so I thought I would check for new information.  Any help or advice would be appreciated.  I've been using TVDb forever and all my naming conventions reflect that.  I tried using TMDB to scrape instead and I hate it, and I tried using XEM and I wasn't a fan.  Then somewhere along the line i lost rar support, so the few files I have in rar files still aren't being seen, but I think that was an issue with the alpha/nightly release.  Unfortunately I can't test that theory, as I can't scrape at all now.   

What's my next step?

My Log
Same log using paste.ubuntu

Key questions:
  • what is the newest TVDb scraper version?
  • should I be seeing TVDb in the dependencies section?

MusicBrainz Scraper Library Add-on?

Hi all!

I consider myself not a novice Kodi (currently in LibreElec with Kodi 17.6) user. However, I am a bit confused with Music Scraping and specially regarding Musicbrainz.

My setup is (the background):

1) LE & Kodi working great
2) I have enabled Artist/Album scraping e.g. via Universal Album/Artist scraper add-on (which seems to utilize Musicbrainz by default to my understanding?)

I have following issue:

E.g. for "Kotiteollisuus" a Finnish Heavy Metal artist, the Artist info and Album arts can be found through musicbrainz.org site, BUT is not scraped at all to Kodi (Artist art, Album Art etc.)

Questions:

1) Do I need to install Musicbrainz Add-on to Kodi separatelly? I could not find in from my add-on repositories... (ref. https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:MusicBrain...er_Library)
2) If no, can I add Artist / Album arts using e.g. Mp3tag software on Windows and they are show then in Kodi?

Appreciated!

//Timo

Hello

I apologize if this was discussed in another thread, all similar threads I found were a bit old.
Today I am getting an error while I was try to scrape information for a couple of new episodes and I am getting the following error ..

Couldn't download information
Unable to connect to remote server

Is this an issue from Kodi itself? or the TVDB addon or maybe from TVDB's end?

I am using Kodi 17.6 on Windows 7.
I will try to figure out how to make and post the log if it helps.

I'm running OS X 10.11.6, KODI v16.1 and the latest TMDB scraper. I added AC/DC.Let.There.Be.Rock.1980. The scraper seems to be having trouble with the slash in AC/DC. I was able to go the file using the KODI file view and refresh it from there. It was added to the library on the third try. On the first try or two adding manually through the file view it came up with AC\/DC Let there Be Rock, with those 2 opposing slashes, then not added to the library. 
Hope I made sense with that description. Here's the log. Thanks guys. http://paste.kodi.tv/xusudijebu

v17 - Creating sets and remembering position in library

April 8, 2018, 9:19 pm
$

I hope these are skin related issues. If not, sorry, please let me know and I will post some where else.

When I want to create a set the behavior is confusing and sometimes inconsistent.

Let's look at Prometheus. I have 5 versions;

1. Theatrical Blu-ray (124 mins)
2. Theatrical 3D (124 Mins)
3. 4K Theatrical Blu-ray (124 mins)
4. A version including all deleted scenes and a couple of other changes that I made myself. (156 mins)
5. A Special version I made for my son who wanted one deleted scene removed. (147 mins)

Firstly, to create the set I have to "Add" one of the titles to a new set. Then I have to "Add" a second one to a new set with the same name. From that point on I can then add the rest to that set. Adding one title to a set does not create the set - 95% of the time. On a couple of occasions I've ended up with three sets, even though I only "add" a new set twice.

Second, When I do manage to add a title to an existing set, the library is positioned at the start of the list. With 3500 titles in the list that takes quite some time to continually scroll through to get back to where I was. Is it possible to remember the position in the list?

And lastly, no matter what I do I cannot get version 5 to show the correct run time, with or without an .nfo file. It shows as 124 mins. For some reason, the 156 mins extended version shows correctly, but all others show as 124 mins.

For the sets issue this is a consistent problem for me when creating any set. The run time issue happens to some but not all movies. Avatar is another movie I integrated deleted scenes into. The theatrical run time is 162 mins. The extended version is 178 mins. My extended edit is 186 mins. The 186 min version shows as 162 mins. You get the idea.

thank you.

v17 - Can't scan in one particular TV Show

I have the below TV Show which I am trying to add to my Kodi library...

https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/76340-tee-...-song-time

This is the only TV Show I have an issue with. When the scraper starts doing it's work I know it has found the show on TMDB because it resolves the name in the top right corner of the screen, however no episodes are added.

These are the filenames:

Tee and Mo Song Time S1E01 Go To Sleep
Tee and Mo Song Time S1E02 Are We Ready to Go
Tee and Mo Song Time S1E03 Were Not Tidying Up
Tee and Mo Song Time S1E04 Come On Get Up

The folder structure is:

Tee and Mo Song Time\Season 1

To me, this is perfect and should have no issues whatsoever with scraping the information from the TMDB link I posted above. Is there something missing from the TMDB entry on the website?

I am using Android TV so I don't think there is any way to get the debug logs off the device... however, I can confirm that the issue also exists on Windows 10 and Amazon Firestick TV as well.

Use IMDB for certain series (cartoons) instead of TheTVDb

April 12, 2018, 12:45 pm

Is there a way to get Kodi to use IMDB for some TV shows, but TheTVDB for others?  The issue stems from a philosophical difference I have with TheTVDB. I look at Animaniacs, and I say an "episode" is what ran on broadcast TV. It started with the opening song, it went through several different cartoons, and then it ended with closing credits. That's a episode.  TheTVDB thinks that each airing is several episodes.  IMDB agrees with me.  My rips are of the entire broadcast airing and I'm not interested in attempting to split them up.  Although I talk about Animaniacs here, they appear to do this on all animated series.

Example. TheTVDB:
1 De-Zanitized  1993-09-13    
2 The Monkey Song    1993-09-13    
3 Nighty-Night Toon    1993-09-13

IMDB:
S1, Ep1 13 Sep. 1993 De-Zanitized/The Monkey Song/Nighty-Night Toon

I've tried making my own NFO files, and that might work, but it would be a lot of bother.  Unless someone has a tool I can use on my PC (windows) where I'd type in an IMDB url and it would produce the NFO file.

Thanks,
Kevin

TMDb Scraper - scrapes everything except poster

Hello everyone,

I really love TheMovieDatabase scraper, but since some time several posters are missing in my movie library in Kodi (after scanning), even if they exist on http://themoviedb.org.

TMDb Settings:
Keep Original Title - off
Enable Fanart - on
Enable trailer - off
Preferred Language - en
Preferred Certification Country - de (germany)
Default Rating from - IMDB

Example:
The Man Cave, 2014 (German movie, original title: Männerhort)
=> Kodi gets the title, description, cast ... everything but not the poster.
==> The funny thing is, if I change the "Preferred Language" to "de" (german), the poster is found/working Oo

Link to the movie: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/290599-m-nnerhort
TMDb JSON to the movie: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movi...man%20cave
Corresponding poster url: https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w600_and_h900...kUcW19.jpg

Conclusion:
Actually it should work. You can see the poster in the JSON file and the corresponding poster url.
Not sure why the poster can be found if I change the preferred language to german? Sure, because it is a german movie, but this should affect the JSON file? Or does it try to get the "english" poster and if there is no existing one, it grabs nothing, instead of the german one?

Further information:
Using Kodi on Windows PC (18.0-ALPHA2) and ODROID C2 via LibreElec (8.24, Kodi 17.6).
TMDb should be version 5.1.2 in both cases.

Hello All,

I've just wiped my Raspberry PI 3b annd reinstalled OpenELEC and Kodi and I am started fresh again and running into some problems getting the TV shows adding to the library.

I know my files are named correctly because have Kodi installed on Windows 7 and several hours before I was able to add all my shows to the library and didn't have an issue...

Now Kodi on my Raspberry PI won't add anything to the "TV Show" Library and Kodi on my Windows 7 won't add any new episodes to the Library either, I've looked at the log file on both machines and I get "Error: unable to parse web site"

Bug - BUG: TVDB scrapper doesn't retrieve latest json.

Hi,

I've encountered the problem. 
This is the json feed which TVDB queries - https://api.tmdb.org/3/movie/444218?api_...uage=en-EN
from that feed its clearly seen that production contries data are supplied:
Image
However TMDB provides old outdated json feed, which you can preserve from its cached file
~\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\cache\scrapers\metadata.themoviedb.org
Image
Here is the content:

Image
Therefore when movie is added to my library, I cannot filter movie by Countries, which is quite important for me.
Can you please advise?

Thank you.

UPDATE:
Ok, I've identified where the problem lays:
KODI does the query https://api.tmdb.org/3/movie/444218?api_...anguage=ru instead of supplying full Language culture, it should be really https://api.tmdb.org/3/movie/444218?api_...uage=ru-RU 
so Language is ru-RU and not just ru, any reason why addon is not supplying full culture language information?
