Hi,
After lot of problems with the TVDB scraper, I started to use TMDB instead.
Generally, it works much better - but I have one big issue:
It can't get any info regarding "Game of Thrones". I've asked the guys at TMDB but they referred to this forum.
My files are perfect named "Games of Thrones - s01e01 - And so on..." and sorted under folder like "s01".
It has worked before with TVDB. And I have over 100 other shows that TMDB scrapes orrectly.
I running Kodi 18.3 on Linux Mint 19.2 - the scraper is set to "Swedish", but I also tried with "English" without any success.
I also running mysql database, but it's stored on same machine.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Any solution?
best regards
Bo
We need a
Debug Log that captures you trying to scrape Game of Thrones.
Are you trying to add new episodes or are you adding the tv show as a new entry?

Hi, thanks for the reply. I've found the log-file, but I haven't a clue how the paste.kodi.tv tool works.
I start firefox at
http://paste.kodi.tv/ - draged the log-files into it and typed some comments about them.
Can't find any upload button - so I pressed "save" instead.
Is it enough?
I have reinstalled Linux Mint and Kodi from scratch on a SDD. But the hard drive with the media content is untouched, it worked before with TVDB scraper.

Open your log file and copy all the log Ctrl-A then Ctrl-C or just highlight it all and select copy
Then open
Kodi Paste Site and paste the contents
Top right corner is a little floppy disc icon. That is save.
Wait 10 seconds for the page to update.
When the page updates copy the address in the address bar, and paste it here in a new post.

It's not really rocket science. You paste your text into the empty page of paste.kodi.tv, and then click on the diskette icon in the top right (or press CTRL-S on your keyboard) to "save" your text or log file. Then you copy the new URL from your browser and paste it into your forum post here.

That was really easy - here are the link:

Unfortunaly the log file only cover the problem - the first log.file was too big for the tool.

You did not enable Debug Mode in Settings>System Settings>Logging, so difficult to see what the problem is, plus most of the log is missing and you removed exactly the bits I needed to see.
But I did see a reference to a nfo file. Delete your nfo files and try rescraping.

Sorry, I turned on debugg mode and rerun the scraper:
https://paste.kodi.tv/pozixajime.kodi
I Don't understand why some bit was missing - using CTR-A and CTRL-C should select all...
Initially I had a tvshow.nfo file, when it didnt work I created one. But I right after that, can't explain why its still there.
Right now I change to local scraper (without having a local nfo-file). Rescrape the show. Restarted Kodi, change back to TMDB scraper and ran it again - without any success...

Oh, bugger. I should have remembered this problem sooner.
You are scraping Game of Thrones into a MySQL database. There is a bug in this setup that affects popular shows and movies that have lots of artwork.
The following link is to a thread that asks the same question as you do. If you read my replies, you should be able to work around the problem...
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=344420
I am assuming that you setup your MySQL server, so you should have some understanding of the technical procedures required.
A member also recently reported the issue to the MariaDB forum. You can read the response here...

That did the trick, I just disabled additional 'Get Extra Artwork from fanart.tv" in settings for the TMDB scrapper!
Thanks alot for the help.
Did I get it right:
Combining mySQL database, a real popular show (with lot of artwork) and enbled too much artwork will end up in this fault?

Yes. It does not affect the default SQL databases that Kodi first installs with, only the MySQL/MariaDB database setup. Too many artwork links and maximum capacity is reached in one particular field of the database. It needs to be modified in an upcoming version.
It will affect movies like Avengers:Infinity, Avengers:Endgame and others, so keep that in mind if you scrape some of these massively popular titles.
