Can't figure out why episode won't scrape.

Already posted on OSMC forum and was referred here. (original thread: https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/cant-figure-...ue/36346/2)

Debug Log here: http://paste.osmc.io/arahamuyar

My issue is a TV Show, and not an obscure one either. I just added 4 episodes to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. This show was already in my database and has scraped fine before so long as I add episode numbers to the filenames. Like most kid show series, I get the episodes from DVDs my kids get as gifts that contain a handful of randomly selected episodes. So I rip the disc, then rename the files to be "episode title 1x01.mkv" For example one of the problem files is "TV Shows\Mickey Mouse Clubhouse\Mickey's Big Band Concert 2x6.mkv" This lines up perfectly with what's in theTVDB.com. But it's refusing to be added.
I'm reading thru the log and it appears to recognize the show properly, and even extracts the season and episode numbers from the file. It does appear to be adding a 12/31/1969 air date (null?) and a blank title. I can see the block of log entries that shows the entire episode list for the correct show from thetvdb. I even see the troublesome episodes in that list result from the scraper.

I've also tried putting in a specific nfo for the episode that contains the specific url to that episode page on thetvdb, but it still doesn't get added.

Why isn't it picking these up?

new shows not being added to library

I can post logs later, here is my issue in case it rings a bell with anybody..

Ever since upgrading to Kodi 17, new TV shows and movies are usually not added to my library. Even if I force a manual update, they are not picked up.. However, if I remove the source and then re-add it, everything new is picked up (or if I set the scraper to none, let the library clean out, and then set the scraper back to TV and update the library, all my updated shows are now present).. I've seen in the logs messages about skipping folders (where I do have new shows) as no changes were detected, so the folder was skipped. I'm not sure what to do to get around this...

Any help is appreciated.

TheTVDB scraper combines TV Shows (corrupted?)

Having a problem over a few installations of Kodi 17.1.

Either scraping new TV Show content or fully refreshing a TV Show due to making changes suddenly Kodi is combining TV Shows together as if they were in the same folder. For example, I refreshed Black Sails and suddenly it was combined with The Simpsons. In the alphabetical listing of TV Shows, under B-L-A-C-K it read The Simpsons. Open the TV Show and all artwork if for 28 season of the Simpsons. Enter Season 1 and there's listings for 2 episode 1's, one for The Simpsons episode 1 and 1 for Black Sails episode 1.

I try to re-refresh Black Sails and now a third TV show has combined in.

Then adding new episodes to other TV shows suddenly combines that series with something else.

All TV Shows are in separate folders identified by proper name. There is no mixed-up overlap in the file system.

Does anyone know what is going on with Kodi and how to stop it? The only working solution I have is ti remove and then re-add all TV Show sources with several library clean-ups.

Thanks.

nfo file: entering IMDB Movie id yields no result?

Hi,
(new to Kodi)
I come from a Popcorn Hour device and when it couldn't scrape a movie, the solution was to simply enter the IMDB id (i.e. tt1234567) in a nfo file and that's it! It would then scrape properly and come up with all the info (plot, rating, poster, actors, etc...).

I see that in the Kodi nfo file, there is a field for the IMDB id but....it does nothing at all?? Is that normal? I mean, what's even the point of putting the IMDB id otherwise?

Does this mean I have enter everything manually?!
Thanks,
Chumbo

I have a problem in Kodi (last version): it does not bring me the description for TV episodes when TMDb is set up with its preferred language as Romanian.

It download descriptions of episodes only for the first 1-5, the rest are without description.

If I set my preferred language to be English, then everything is ok and I get the description of ALL the episodes.
I mention that I want to use TMDb for TV serials instead of TVDB for descriptions in Romanian.

I tried to reinstall Kodi, update supliments,remove-add again tv show, nothing works, the problem remains unresolved.

Can you help me, please?

Tv show is scraping in one of two ways

Either as the correct show but three different instances with the episodes randomly appropriated to each folder. Or, it scrapes as three different japanese television shows.

I have the naming conventions correct. Tvshow (year) and the seasons are in separate folders marked season1 season 2 so on.

I have tried removing it from the library and re adding it. i have tried physically removing it from the drive, cleaning the database and re adding it. I have also tried using th refresh function and manually adding the show to no avail.

I am using openelec on a raspi box so I might be in the wrong sub forum.

Missing metadata- API problem?

Hello,

Regarding the above mentioned, just to check if my system is faulty or is it really just the API issues - I'm using Kodi 17.3 and I have TV episodes in my hard drive. Suddenly some (but not all) data started to be scraped with missing information. Sometimes all the information is missing and all I see is just an episode number (although it does show in the TVDB) and sometimes just a photo.

My temporary solution is to update the information manually.

What do you think it might be?

Thanks for any answers regarding this.

Handling more than 9 parts for split TV episodes

Folks,

First of all, thank you to the developers for an awesome product that I've been in love with for many many years now and every time I look for a feature, I find the developers have already thought of it so this might be something that already exists.

I saw on http://kodi.wiki/view/naming_video_files...it-episode that I can have up to 9 parts for a single episode but I'm about to add something to my library that has more than 9 parts (up to 12 maybe) per episode. I've not seen if that'll get picked up just yet - I wanted to see if that limitation is accurate or if it'll be able to pick up more than 9 parts for an episode. I'm looking to name them something like:

s01e01.a
s01e01.b
s01e01.c
...
s01.e01.m

If the limitation *is* accurate, I'd love pointers to the right scraper repo so I can maybe adjust that limitation and push that up as a pull request.

Thanks!

tmdb: ratings for movies

Hi,

I have a video library with additional information for each movie stored in nfo-files created by MediaElch. I also rate movies on themoviedb.org. Is it possible for kodi to fetch ratings from my account at themoviedb.org and to show it for any of my movies after updating the library?
What about the other way round? What do I need to rate my movies in kodi and to save the ratings automatically in my account at themoviedb.org?

Thanks!

Minimum TV show data required for Kodi to add to library?

Using the The Movie DB TV meta data with TV shows on Kodi 17. I've got a number of TV shows but noticed one of the them wasn't showing up in Kodi. I've learnt previously that if it's not in the TMDB, Kodi won't add it to the library. However in this particular instance it is in TMDB.

Trying the API url directly http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/tv?ap...en,en,null returns a result Huh

However on comparing with another TV show that does work - Big Bang Theory http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/tv?ap...en,en,null I note this has a lot more attributes/fields.

Does Kodi expect a minimum amount of information from meta data before it will add to library? If so, what are the mandatory attributes/fields?

Reporting what seems to be a bug. The TVDB has been offline a lot lately. When Kodi scrapes for TV show information against TVDB, Kodi will report no connection can be made and then closes itself. Kodi does not need to shutdown just because it cant establish a connection with a remote host. Really just an inconvenience but thought maybe someone would want to know.

TVDB scraper doesnt find new files

March 23, 2017, 3:02 am

I'm using the built in scraper for tv shows, which has served me well for years. But after updating Kodi from 16 to 17.1 I started getting problems: When I update library, the scraper no longer finds new files in my tv shows folder. Movies are added like before so far that I can tell, but 9 out of 10 times it ignores new episodes.

I changed nothing in my hierarchy, and there doesn't seem to be a correlation between file formats and whether its added to the library. I've googled a lot to no avail; I can't find a thread describing the same issue I have. There are no error messages, nothing like "failed to blahblah". Scanning the library appears to work as it should; it looks through the folders and concludes with there being no new episodes to scrape.

So here are the details I can think, please ask what else I may provide to figure it out. I know one often add certain logs to these posts, but I have never done that before so I'll have to look up some instructables if thats necessary. Though, with no errors and everything appearing fine, I would guess that the logs would only show what appears to happen: "scanning...no new files...finished"

HIERARCHY:
TV SERIES FOLDER
-[SERIES NAME]
--SEASON 1
---[SERIES NAME] S01E01
----[ACTUAL FILE] (MKV/HEVC/ACHIVES)

I always kept tv shows stored like this, and it never caused any problems at all. Some times the episodes will be placed directly in season folder. Other shows may have separate folders for each episodes due to multiple achive files or organizing of subtitles. Extracting archives does not help, files are still not found. Moving episodes out of their separate folders and storing them directly in season 1 folder, makes no difference. All formats listed over are ignored equally by the scraper, though on a rare occasion files are found and added like they should. Now I have to add episodes manually, and even that doesn't always work.

SCRAPER
The TVDB built in 1.8.4: Always used this one, found no reason to replace it, neither are there good alternatives that I know of.
The TVDB 1.8.4.1: Shows up as an alternative, no idea why the built-in one wont update itself sinse theres apparently a newer version. Downloading this causes two separate addons with its own versions; neither can be disabled or removed. But choosing one or the other in "change content" windows, makes no difference.
XEM: Tried it for the hell of it, though if I understand correctly, it scrapes via TVDB like the others anyway and shouldn't make a difference besides numerating of episodes. Results are the same.

TRIED WITHOUT RESULTS:
1: Clearing out my library, scanning it all over, with all 3 scrapers listed over. A majority of old shows are added, eventhough info has been deleted. New files are however still not added.
2: Extracting archives
3: Moving files out of their separate episode-folders
4: Changing season folders names to "season 1" or "showname season 1"
5: Different file formats are treated the same, I tried other common formats

THE ONLY FIX SO FAR:
1: Via video\files\showname: I tried "scan for new content" on specific shows that had new files added. This doesn't work.
2: Via video\files\showname\seasonfolder: Scanned season folder for new content, doesn't help, no matter if the episodes are archives, mkv, hevc, or if they are placed directly in the season folder or in separate folder.
3: Via video\files\showname\seasonfolder\episodefolder: Scanning episode files or folders directly, will work SOME times, if not the option "add to library" works here.

UPDATE: So I decided to test this on another Kodi install, just to make sure it wasn't just my Raspberry Pi. The issue affects both.

The debug log shows the following when trying to scrape the movie "The Founder" with Universal Movie Scraper:

Quote:12:08:13.353 T:8920 DEBUG: scraper: GetRTRatingById returned <details><url function="ParseRTTomAll" cache="4276820-omdbapi.html">http://www.omdbapi.com/?i=tt4276820&r=json&tomatoes=true</url></details>

12:08:13.403 T:8920 DEBUG: scraper: ParseRTTomAll returned <details><rating max="100">N/A</rating><votes>N/A</votes></details>

It also returns similar N/A results for other movies.

Does anybody know why this is suddenly borked? I checked out the omdb api site, but there was no mention of any problems there as far as I could see.

Movie scraping issue

Hi

I am using Kodi v17 and Universal movie scraper on a Win10 x64, and also Nvidia Shield.
I have a large collection already that the scraper has detected with no issues, except one movie:
Piranha 3D (2010) by Alexandre Aja is for some reason not being scraped correctly. It has been detected as a movie called Piranhas (2010) and is a comedy and IMDB does not know that movie at all (well I will agree that the movie is comical but it seems IMDB has set Piranha 3D in the horror genre). No movie poster is detected. Movie plays fine.

File structure:
\\NAS-media\SD\Movies\Piranha 3d (2010)\Piranha_3D.mkv

How can i get the movie scraper to do its job correctly.
I have tried to clean the library but nothing seems to work.

Any help that leads to correct movie scraping will be appreciated.
