Scrap question

Hello,
I scraped a series, which I removed from the media library, but I exported the scraps in single file, and I added a season to the series, I wanted to know if when I scrape the series again, he will avoid looking again for the files I already have, so scraping offline, then go scraper on the scraper I chose? Or does he ignore and replace everything?
Thank you

Win - Kodi 17.6 with MQ7 , question re set appearances in playlists

$

Hi all

Eagerly awaiting the full release of Leia and also the upcoming MQ8 skin for it...whilst I could upgrade now to the RC, I want to be sure everything is fully ready and I don’t want to lose access to any of the great looking skin options I currently have with MQ7.

As a long term XBMP/XBMC/KODI user, I have over the years managed to tweak my system to make it quite formidable as a video library system...not only does it manage my vast collection with ease but in it’s current guise it is also incredibly wife friendly (most of the time)

Whilst I appreciate some things may change on their own with my upgrade to 18.0, I have a little question regarding my current and potentially future setup that I haven’t been able to find with a simple search.

I use the ‘sets’ feature to make tracking and finding movies that much easier in my main ‘Movie’ library ..it works really well for me and I wouldn’t be without it. However, I have a number of playlists that would look far better if all of the movies in it were shown as individual movies and NOT as part of a set...

A good example is an MCU playlist recently created. Rather than the multitude of individual movies included within the collection, it lists all of the Iron Man movies in their set, Captain America and Avengers are the same. Whilst I have trawled through the settings I don’t believe I’ve missed an option to keep sets out of playlists.

Is this something that I can achieve another way?

Many thanks for your time in reading this.....apologies if I may have missed an incredibly simple link to this elsewhere, but I have genuinely drawn a blank until now

Thanks again

Important - **** READ FIRST- Library and Scraping Problems ****

If you are seeking assistance for Library and Scraping issues, then read the following before posting in the forum.

1. 95% of the reported scraping problems are directly attributable to user errors.
  1. Follow the guide to ensure you have correctly named and saved your files...HOW-TO:Create_Video_Library (wiki)
  2. Check for common errors in scraping... Scraping Problems (wiki)
  3. Ensure your scrapers are updated to the latest version by first updating the Repository... Left Sideblade Menu (wiki)
  4. v18 introduced reading Video file Tags. If your files are correctly named but refuse to scrape, go to Settings>Media Settings>Videos and check the option Use video tags is disabled
  5. If new episodes are not being added to existing TV Shows, or you are re-adding shows using NFO Files, read this... 323588 (thread)
  6. "TheMovieDB-TVShows" replaced "TheTVDB" as the default scraper during Nov 2018. If you originally scraped with TVDB and are now rebuilding your library with NFO Files, ensure the correct scraper is active.
  7. If you are using a Media Manager to create NFO Files which do not scan or scan incorrectly into the Kodi library, then you should first direct your question to the developers of the media manager.
  8. TVDB uses the Year for season numbers in some TV Shows (eg s1970e01). TheMovieDB does not use this system, it only uses simple season numbers (eg s01e01).
  9. If using MySQL/MariaDB and some hugely popular movies/tv shows refuse to scrape, yet others scrape ok read here... 15768 (GH issue)


2. If you are still experiencing issues after following the above, we require the following information to be submitted with your question.
  1. Provide a clear and concise description of the problem
  2. Submit a Debug Log which captures the scraping of the problem show. (Full logs only. Anything else will be rejected)
  3. If you are using a shared MySQL/MariaDB setup, be sure to specifically mention that fact.
  4. If you are using NFO files, provide one tvshow.nfo file and one episode nfo file from the problem tv show, or provide the nfo file for the movie.
  5. Provide the links to the problem Movies/TV Shows at the scraper site
    * If you are using TheMovieDB scraper site for Movies or TV Shows, search here... https://www.themoviedb.org/
    * If you are using TheTVDB scraper for TV Shows, search here... https://www.thetvdb.com/
    * If you are using the Universal Movie Scraper for Movies the metadata comes from both IMDB and TheMovieDB so both links will be required
    * If you are using a different scraper to those mentioned above, then provide the correct link to the correct site
    * Note: Do not automatically check IMDB for information. The default scrapers do not use IMDB

Important - A set of Python scrapers ready for wider use testing

Hi all,

We've been working on a new set of Python scrapers and we need testers! Python scrapers are available for Kodi 18 Leia and Kodi 19 Matrix, check the list below for available scrapers and minimum Kodi versions.

Back up your databases and try these on your main library, or fire up a secondary Kodi library and scan some other files - poking and prodding from all sides will help us shake out unexpected behavior.

Known issues
For TV shows, switching scrapers has always been troublesome due to the episodeguide embedded in the Kodi database and NFO files, and Python scrapers are just as susceptible to trouble. The most reliable fix for this is to remove NFO files and refresh the TV show in the Kodi library.
On Windows we are having some troubles with dates intermittently crashing Python add-ons, an issue which can be triggered more often with scrapers. It is proving hard to reproduce reliably.
Available scrapers

Which are the Python Scrapers?

A quick reference detailing which scrapes are Python and XML based.

XML have been in use for 10+ years and are still running strong. Unfortunately they are easily broken with changes at the online scraper sites.
Python are the new generation scrapers. They have been around for a couple of years but they are extremely stable and not susceptible to breaking with changes at the online scraper sites.
