No Colons Allowed in Filenames
#1
Hi,

New user of Kodi here, a few days now. Very impressive.

Just wanted to mention that after following the many admonitions to spell folder names exactly as they appear on IMDB, I discovered that doesn't apply to the colon ':'. Perhaps through bad luck I had about 18 movies so far with a colon in the name, and many hours of head-scratching before I figured that out. These are also not picked up by the missing movie add-on. I used this http://kodi.wiki/view/Naming_video_files as my main reference, so perhaps a mention there would be in order?

Thanks for Kodi.
Scott

Most times it will be OK if you just leave out the colon. There are a number of characters that can't be used in filenames and just skipping these usually works.
I think all righthtinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary, decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.
