I have been using this excellent software for some time now however recently I've been having problems scraping TV Shows in to Kodi.

I'm using the latest version (3.7.3.5). Media companion recognises and creates all the relevant files and works great, creating all the necessary TVshow nfo and episode nfo files. However when I add source in Kodi it only adds the TV Show but no Seasons or episodes?

I tested to see if it was a problem with Kodi so I picked a TV Show and deleted all but the correctly named mkv files and cleaned the Kodi library. I then rescanned using the TVDB scanner in Kodi and it scanned the seasons and episodes correctly.

I then exported the library in separate files and compared the kodi created NFO files to NFO files that Media companion created. They are structured differently however I'm struggling to see why the Media Companion NFO for each episode are not being recognised by Kodi when I select source to TV Shows and scraper to 'Local information’.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Regarding the file names being renamed, I did this so when in Kodi I could watch thew MCU movies in sequence regardless of their collection/set, and found this article in the Kodi Wiki on how to set up multiverses, as with Kodi you can only have 1 movie in 1 collection/s.

I never had a problem with this while I was on one of the previous versions.

The method requires using Movie Folders (movie file in its own folder) and enabling Movies are in separate folders that match the movie title in the Set Content screen. This then bypasses the filename for lookups and uses the folder name. This allows you to use non-conforming names in the filename (for the smart playlist) and use a conforming name for the movie folder which the scraper uses for its search string.

Definitely sounds like you've tanked the config.xml file. Not sure why this has happened as I upgrade over top of my main Media Companion all the time.

You could PM me a link to your config.xml file, but I suggest setting up MC from scratch by deleting the Settings folder in your Media Companion folder. This will start MC as if it had never been run.

Rebooted the machine  Re-extracted current version. Re-configured settings. re-entered folders and added media. Didn't get a tvcache.xml message - Good sign   .  Refreshed because it showed damn near every series as unknown, lol. UsB came unplugged near the end    . Finally got that sorted and refreshed again. Did Batch re-scraper for a few things . duration, start date, status, etc) & viola!!!! Just nee to switch from Un-Veried to Verified and all is finally good!!

A Snippet of the file for testing would be appreciated. PM me a link of a snippet or source file please.
