*I want to point out that the Developer of the "TheMovieDB.org" is
aware of the bug and concluded that the the problem is on kodi's side...
The bug - text in Hebrew that contain quotation mark will display wrongly in Kodi. the first quotation mark will be replaced by \ and everything after it is absent. for example, the text:
Text inside the "Random movie collection" overview, will show up incorrectly.
will show up in Kodi like this:
Text inside the \
Pictures:
(in Kodi)
(the Original full text on TheMoviDB.org)
I apologize In advance for grammatical mistakes.
I know you have just moved it here from metadata add-ons forum, but I am moving it back as that is where it belongs, regardless of which platform is affected. I have also removed your other duplicated post.
Now that you have included images, there is a better chance of a response from the scraper developer @
olympia

hmm thank you, i was very lost with where i should have posted it.
That is no problem. Just allow a bit of time, @
olympia is currently away, so it may take a couple of days for a response.
So looking at your first image, underneath the words
3 movies, I can see a
\. Is that what you are referring to?
If yes, then in your second image, everything on the first line before the yellow highlight is what is missing? Is that correct?
Yes that is what i am referring to, But Hebrew is written from Right-to-Left so the highlighted text is the begining of the overview and everything after the first quotation mark is missing and replaced by \.
Ok, yes I understand now. So you only have the first few words (highlighted yellow) and all the rest of the overview is missing because of the quotation mark "
Does that also happen if you use NFO Files? Are you in a position to test it?
Probably the easiest way would be to :
1. Export your library to separate files,
2. Edit the nfo files for each movie in the Movie Set affected by this issue,
3. Copy and paste the full overview into the nfo files of each movie, including the quotation marks
4. Remove the all the movies in that set from your library
5. Scrape the movies back into the library, it should default to using the nfo files.
Are you comfortable with SQL databases? To fix the problem, you can just copy and paste the overview directly into the database, only if you are comfortable editing databases. At least this will allow you to have the overview correctly visible until the issue is resolved.
I am not familiar with both methods, But the NFO solution seems more simple, so i will look into it in the meantime.
Thank you for the help
This was a general, not a Hebrew bug; fixed in tmdb common library v3.1.3.
Many thanks for reporting!
Hi, Olympia. i'm not sure what you mean about 'common library v3.1.3', but i cleaned my video library and re-scanned and there is no change (on Android and PC).
I am on version 5.1.2 of your Add-on, tested on versions 17.6 and 18 of kodi.
The addon "metadata.themoviedb.org" depends on "metadata.common.themoviedb.org" 3.1.0 or higher.
In the change done here:
https://github.com/xbmc/repo-scrapers/co...bc30e3c8d1 you see that olympia fixed soemthing to do with the way quotes are regexp parsed about 8 hours ago.
This will be included in metadata.common.themoviedb.org version 3.1.3 which is currently making its way thtrough our system of packing into an addon, distributing to the mirrors and finally being advertised to the clients.
Within about a day your Kodi will update this dependency and the issue will be fixed : after this you can rescan the data and it should work.
Yeah it makes sense that it would take time. Thanks for the explantion, i definitely didnt knew about all background components you mentioned.

This is where you find the add-ons...
TMDB 5.1.2 (found in Add-ons>My add-ons>Information provders>Movie information)
The Movie Database Scraper library (aka metadata.common.themoviedb.org) 3.1.3 (found in settings>system settings>add-ons>Manage dependencies)
On my system it has already updated.
Hmmm okay i'm on the updated versions, checked few movie sets and the problem still exist. Is it possible that the addon pulled the data from cache?
*No it definitely not related to cache, i checked it on different device and got the same result. - the second device is not updated (android)

To resolve the problem, you need to remove all those movies from the library. So if you have 4 movies in the Movie Set, all 4 need to be removed from the library.
Then rescrape the movies back into the library. Probably a good idea to run a clean library also.
Let us know if that works.
