Ver. 17.4 won't add new metadata with local scan
#1
Hi.
Just upgraded from Ver. 17.3 to Ver 17.4 for Windows yesterday.
System is Windows 10 64 bit Creators Edition running on an AMD A6-3500 CPU with 8GB RAM.
I use Media Center Master to create the metadata, and scan locally into Kodi.
My work flow is:
a) Create *.mkv file for the TV Show and episode (example: The Sinner S01 E04.mkv).
b) Place TV show *.mkv file on my NAS (file structure example: The Sinner/Season 01/The Sinner S01 E04.mkv)
c) With Media Center Master, grab the metadata for the new show.
d) With Media Center Master, generate new XMBC/Kodi files (creates a .nfo and thumbnail file)
e) Start Kodi, and from alphabetical listing of TV Shows, right click on new show, and Scan for New Content.

Debug log file is at: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25383476/

When running on 17.3, this would update the TV Show and Season with the newly added episode and metadata. With 17.4, I get no update. .nfo files are present, but Kodi 17.4 does not seem to register them into the library.
I am also running another machine which is still on 17.3 (Windows 7, 64 bit), and when I Scan for New Content on that setup, it did capture the new episode and metadata.

Try keep the info together: The Sinner S01E04.mkv
Kodi's scraper is perhaps a bit stricter on such things.

More information to help troubleshoot the issue.
When initiating the Scan for New Content on the TV Show, the debug file says:
09:35:12.433 T:10568 DEBUG: CAnnouncementManager - Announcement: OnScanStarted from xbmc
09:35:12.433 T:10568 DEBUG: GOT ANNOUNCEMENT, type: 16, from xbmc, message OnScanStarted

09:35:12.766 T:10568 DEBUG: GOT ANNOUNCEMENT, type: 16, from xbmc, message OnScanFinished

It appears the process is not recognizing that the directory has changed.

I removed the TV Show from the database library, and rescanned the TV Shows from the Videos file gui, and it successfully found the metadata for the episode that was newly added.

Regarding the naming having a space between the season number and episode number, that has not been a problem up to now, as the local scraper has successfully scanned 61 TV Shows and thousands of episodes with that format.
