So let's sum this up, to see if I understand correctly...
1.
I add a source and set the content to "Movies". From that source some items are scraped into the library and some are not (those would be the ones with "no information at the library").
2.
I then navigate to "Videos" -> "Files" and then I enter the source to get the file view of the items where some are scanned into the library and some are not.
3.
if I then press "i" Kodi normally tries to scan the item to the library as it does not have any information. So it tries to get some. If the scraping doesn't find any matching information on the online service (TMDB for example) because the filename might be wrong because of a typo or whatever, Kodi opens a virtual keyboard and the name should already be included to be able to modify the filename. That's expected behaviour and it has been in that way for Kodi 17 for sure.
If!! Kodi plays the file while I press "Show information" I highly guess that this would be a real bug as "Show information" should never play back an item.
Hence I'm asking for a
Debug Log to see what you are actually doing. Beside providing the log, you could explain step-by-step how to reproduce your issue
I set up some testing here and created a folder called "Bid_Daddy" (yes, that's a typo. The movie is normally called "Big Daddy" and the typo is done on purpose). I then placed some little video-file at this folder and named that also "Bid_Daddy.mp4" (again, the typo). See:
Quote:davu@davu-Laptop-E-series:~/Videos/Kodi/Filme$ ls -R
.:
Bid_Daddy
./Bid_Daddy:
Bid_Daddy.mp4
davu@davu-Laptop-E-series:~/Videos/Kodi/Filme$
Then I tried to scrape that and ofc, Kodi can't find anything on TMDB because of the wrong filename.
As you can see, there's no information available for the item:
If I then either press "i" to get the information Kodi tries to get some:
As Kodi can't find any, I get the virtual keyboard which is expected:
Which then ofc contains the wrong filename which I'm now able to edit.
If I try to use the context menu, there's no "Show information" available as the item doesn't have any:
So, to make a long story short, I can't reproduce your problem in that way. Please explain the way you are able to reproduce and please do it step by step and please don't forget to add your
Debug Log as that's most likely mandatory for such problems to see at which section you are, which buttons you pressed and so on. No need to explain myself why I would like to see logfile
Thanks in advance
