show with .nfo file won't scan into library
#1
I have a show that won't scan into the library. The debug log shows this:

DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: Could not enumerate file smb://DROBO-FS/Public/_TV Shows/The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show/The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.Season 1 Extras.avi

In the same directory as the show is the file The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.Season 1 Extras.nfo


I'm confident that the nfo file is good, as it is a copy with minor edit of one that does work in another directory. Since it is small, here it is:

<episodedetails>

<title>Season 1 Extras</title>
<rating>10.00</rating>
<season>1</season>
<episode>27</episode>

</episodedetails>

I've scanned mulitple times. The log entry above is just after removing the show from the library and rescanning. The regular shows (1-26) scan in properly.

Any help?

Is that your entire nfo file?? How did you create it?

There are definitely easier ways to create nfo's, the benefit being is that they will always work.

Have a look at this program. It is what I use when necessary. http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=142723

Otherwise I just use the built in Kodi scraper. If files are named correctly, and listed at TVDB, there is no need to create nfo files.

But in your particular nfo, you have a couple of necessary fields missing. The most important being <showtitle>

Here is a typical functional nfo...

Code:

    <plot>We meet 30ish year old Hank Moody in a church asking God to help him get his life back on track. He is then distracted by a hot nun. Moody also has to interact with ex-wife Karen who might still love him. With her, they share the custody of their 12 year old daughter Becca who is wise beyond her years but is starting to have a sex life, which freaks out both of her parents.</plot>

Also, not sure what your Season.Extras consists of, but is it listed in the Specials of TVDB? If it is, you could simply name your show...
\The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show\The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show S00E01 (for example)

Also, you could look into the Add-on: Extras which is in the Kodi Add-on repository. It is built especially for handling Extras that come with movies. http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Extras

It's not listed on TBDB because it breaks their rules. They don't allow stuff like this from DVDs.

I have looked at the Extras add-on in the past, but there was something about it I didn't like - don't remember what.

I will look into the program you mentioned - Thanks!

I added the <showtitle> tag with no effect.

I'm just not really sure what "Could not enumerate" means

I don't know what that means out of context. The whole debug file will be needed.

Try the program. If it still does not "enumerate" then post the debug log.
