Universal Movie Scraper Not Scraping 100%

I haven't used Kodi in a while. In the past I've had great success with that add-on. 99-100%. So many aren't this time. Is it still the best one to use?

Missed scrapes either show a thumbnail instead of poster or are blank.  If I right click a poster>information>refresh it says 'Locally stored information found. Ignore and refresh from Internet (Yes/No)'. I pick 'yes' and it successfully scrapes. What's the deal?

v18 - Kodi crashes when trying to update library

I've read through the forums and have tried updating the addons and from what I can tell they are the latest version.

First log I did library update and clicked yes through several connection problem notifications. Eventually Kodi completely crashes.
https://paste.kodi.tv/ixibiqepuz.kodi

Then I relaunched and checked my addons for IMDB connection and disabled if I saw it. I also disabled the video tag option and then tried to update the library. It crashed almost immediately.

I do seem to be able to scan a folder directly to the library though. Any thoughts on what is going on?

Hello, 

I have a headless pie running dietpi with kodi. I use filebot to rename and orginize all my files. For some reason Kodi does not see the some of the files. If I scroll down to video and look for the files the exist in files, named correctly with all info. I can play them from this location just curious why they do not show up in Movies of TV Shows?

Thanks,

Jon

v17 - Some seasons of TV shows are not shown (Paw Patrol, DBZ Kai)

Hi everybody

This is my first topic on this forum. I'm using Kodi on a Xiaomi Mi box 3S, (previously on Raspberry Pi 3), I'm in love with this product.

Nevertheless, I'm facing an issue that I wasn't able to solve by myself so far... Some seasons of TV Shows are just not shown in the library (it's not a library update matter). The seasons are all stored on my NAS the same way [name of the show]/[Season1] or [S01] or [saison 01] (coz I'm french :-))

For Paw Patrol, I see the 3 first seasons, but I'm not able to have seasons 4 and 5
For DBZ Kai, I have all seasons but the last one with Buu...

I've tried to rename, redownload etc... nothing to do

Of course I'm using a sync with TVDB through kodi.

Does anybody have a solution for that?

Thanks a lot !

Some TV Shows Not Posted To LIbrary

I had a PC based XBMC system.  Got a Nvidia Shield and latest version of Kodi.

Set my sources.  Set scraping to local only as I provide all my own NFO files using Media Center.

Some of my TV shows didn't get added to my library. The Walking Dead is an an example with a source path that goes:
Network>MBL-3TB>Public> Kodi MBL3 TV Target > Walking Dead
Inside are folders for Season 2 through Season 9 with the NFO file.

However the folder for True Blood works fine with a source path that goes:
Network>MBL-3TB>Public>Kodi MBL3 TV Target>Kodi Target MBL>True Blood 

I can watch Walking Dead via Video > Files but not by finding it in my Library with other TV shows.

I have 11 other TV series not in my Library. I have 42 Series Total.  Series I added after the conversion are fine other than the new season of Walking Dead.

I just noticed it recently but it must have been like this since the conversion.  Can't be a scraper issue if it is scraping local info only, can it?

Thoughts?

Hi guys,

I use EMDB on my PC. It's easy for me to manage all my movies. Can I copy/convert movie database from EMDB to KODI?
Or maybe there is a better way to easy manage KODI movies database on PC via web browser?

Thanks

TMDB: Can the user select correct movie / .nfo files

Hi everyone.
I've got two questions on the TMDB scraper. I think they're simple, still I can't figure out what I do wrong.
  •  When the movie name isn't unique I think the user can select the correct one, right? But KODI offers no choice even though GetSearchResults returns several movies (in log file).
  • After scraping the movies I expected .nfo files to be generated. But I can't find them, neither where the movies are stored nor in the KODI appdata directory.
Thanks you.

How to fix missing artwork

Hi

Same goal here. more than 5000 movies. Updated from Kodi 16 > 17.
a lot of posters/fanarts doesn't show up, and at first glance it concerns old scrapped files. Problem is in all skin.
each movie is in a separate folder, and in the folder there are the usually extrafanart (extras show up, problem is only with basic poster/fanart), and of course local poster/fanart pictures)
Deleting Texture13 and thumbnails didn't solved anything.
importing single file library keeps the problem.
importing through sources, with local information scraping, same problem.

I guess there are some problems in the old NFO's.
I don't want to rescrape online all 5'000 movies, it would be a nightmare to control everything.
the solution so far I found is to refresh manually such problematic movies, or manually select local files when the data is not retrieved (unreachable scraper)

I hesitated to bulk delete all NFOs, then export library as separate files to create new ones, but I don't know if it will work and it may be a bit risky

Please tell me if you find a solution

Force scrape of newly added movies/tv episodes

I use Sonarr/Radarr to send new moves/TV series to my sources.
They are added and seen in Kodi but without being automatically scraped. So I need to go to the movie, click in information and force it to get it.
It asks to ignore the local info, I press yes and it gets it.
Is this normal behaviour?

If yes, can I make Kodi do this automatically? 
If no, what am I missing?
thanks!!!

I have acquired Beauty & The Beast. The show from the late 80s. There is a show by the same name out in 2017. How do I get Kodi to distinguish the right one? How to label the files that is? Mainly asking for confirmation.
Code:
Beauty And The Beast (1987)_s1e1.mkv

is correct?

Solved - TV show scraper not working as expected for a particular show

I'm a longtime Kodi user, so I know a fair bit about how the scraper is supposed to work, but I've got one TV show that is being really stubborn and isn't scraping quite as expected. Hoping maybe someone can give me a hint.

The TV show is called "Pothedz Couch" on TVDB; it's at https://www.thetvdb.com/series/pothedz-couch. The info that's on the TVDB website was all input by me--I may be one of the few people in the world who knows about the show, which had only six episodes that ran on public access TV in New York over a decade ago (I'm fond of the show for sentimental reasons, which is why it's my avatar--but that's a whole other story for another time).

What I'm seeing when I scrape my library is that the scraper creates a "Season 1" and a "Specials" folder. All six main episodes are in the Season 1 folder, and all 33 special short episodes are in the Specials folder, which is all entirely as I expected it to be. However, I also see the same 33 special episodes in the Season 1 folder, which should totally not be the case--they should only be in the Specials folder.

My source files are named as follows:

-- Season 1 folder contains just the six episodes, with "S01E01 - Title of Episode 1.mp4", "S01E02 - title of episode 2.mp4", etc etc., as the naming.
-- Specials folder contains all 33 special short episodes, named "S00E01.avi", "S00E02.avi", etc etc.

As you can see, I'm totally stumped as to why the 33 specials are showing up in Kodi's Specials folder AND the Season 1 folder. Any ideas? Did I add any info incorrectly to TVDB.com?

Solved - excludefromscan not working for series library

Hello!

I like to exclude files containing "-backup" from the library. Here is the video section of my advancedsettings.xml:
Code:
<video>
<excludefromscan>
<regexp>Bonus\ \-\ </regexp>
<regexp>\-backup\.</regexp>
</excludefromscan>
</video>
This works well for movies, but not at all for series files. Does anyone know what's wrong?
It doesn't seem to be a common problem, so I guess it is misconfiguration.
Is there a special section for series? (haven't read about)
I probably don't have to escape blanks and dashes, but normally that doesn't hurt in regular expressions.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

TV Show not scrape-able anymore :(

Hi, 
I had a TV show in my library and it showed up until last week...
Last week I decided to re-transcode my BluRays, so I deleted the TV show and rescaped (+cleaned up) => TV Show was gone in Kodi. Fine.
When Handbrake was done with its job, I added the TV show anew (incl. new folder and files, but same names) to the library.
Now, the TV show does not show up in my library :-(

Code:

VideoInfoScanner: Scanning dir 'N:\Videos\Serien\XXX\' as not in the database
...
No information found for item 'N:\Videos\Serien\XXX\', it won't be added to the library.

Log:
http://paste.osmc.tv/raw/lesifufove


Another less important issue/question, when I check the log:
How to avoid scanning of deleted TV shows...
Code:

VIDEO::CVideoInfoScanner :: Process directory 'N:\Videos\Serien\YYY\' does not exist - skipping scan
This TV show was deleted several months ago... It will never come back.

Thanks,
eusi

Hi!
just stuck, and I think likely missed a step somewhere, but can't for the life of me find it. appreciate any help!

Have a few music videos, and Kodi seems to be able to help us enjoy them.
Found the IMVDb, which seems to be the best regarded choice.

Installed the IMVDb add-on, and updated. (running 2.0.0)

Setup folder for music videos... set content type to music videos, but no matter what I choose, I can't seem to be able to select the IMVDb as the Content Provider, under media settings.

Again - I must be missing a step somewhere... thanks!

v18 - "No information found" when scraping movies no matter what folder or files are named.

I'm at my wits end here, I've been trying to work out whats going wrong for ages.
Both the standard TMDB scraper and the Universal Scraper correctly identify MOST movies but there are a few which they completely refuse to find. I have renamed the files and containing folders many ways, including renaming them to other simple movie titles, but nothing seems to work even when checking the TMDB API directly and seeing that it returns a single (correct) result.

I have attached an example of one movie not being found.

Solved - Issues Scraping

Hi

i've been using Kodi now for over 10 years , and i've never had such a hard time scraping Movies then lately. 

I have amongst others a Shield , with my reguler Sources setup . I am renaming ALL my movies with File Bot . But when scraping , some work , others don't. 

They are all in this order in (i.e.) Folder : 4k/Iron Man (2008)/Iron Man (2008).mkv

however it doesn't scrape Iron Man . Where as Iron Man 2 and 3 have been scraped fine. Nothing else is in the folder. I tried to delete the source, clean the library , re-add the source , change from The Movie DB to Universal Scraper , it's always the same. I have no clue why. All my others setup work. I am using an SQL server.

I am running Kodi Leia RC 5 on the Shield.
Anyone who can help shed some light in this issue ? 



Thanks

Some time before that all work fine, my movie library have fanarts, posters, cdarts clearlogo and more.
But one day for some obscure reasons my library lost poster and fanarts for some movies.
Because scan them manually take time, i decide to delete my movie source and to import it a new time in kodi.
Made these several time before when i have library probems and it work fine, scraping again all my movies and populating my library with poster fanarts and all other artwork.
But this time i don't know why (no move or change in my movie folder) kodi won't scrap my movie. Tmdb scraper run à small time finding nothing, as artwork downloader or artwork beef.....
But when i came in folder mode i see All my movie file and can scrap them one by one.....

Can someone point me something i made wrong ?

v17 - Scraper ignore-string?

January 16, 2019, 4:35 am
$

I couldn't find it (it it's possible at all), but I would like scrapers to ignore certain strings. Mind you, not skip the scan altogether, but ignore certain terms. Like I will have a video called:

Earth Star Voyager (upscaled).m2ts

This trips up the scrapers, constantly forcing me to do a manual entry for all such names with additional info. So, is it possible to add a scraper ignore-string somewhere? Like '(upscaled)' in this case.

Thanks.
