When I run  texturecache.py c movies no actor thumb is downloaded

After many attemps and investigations I understand that Kodi, maybe, isn't able to locate the files (even if I can play them)

I ran this command texturecache.py qa and these are some lines of the report
Movie    [Tropic Thunder                                    ]: WARN (missing cast, local not found; missing file)
Episode  [X-Files, Stagione 11 Episode 11x10                ]: WARN (missing file)

I don't know how to fix my library

I have a bunch of missing thumbnails. Ive been trying to fix it with "texturecache.py c" but it just gives me an error on every download.
I dont know where to find the tc.log but I did find the kodi log and all it says is
00:44:16.868 T:7276   DEBUG: CUtil::GetMatchingSource: no matching source found for [E:\-=Movies=-\.....
and so for every entry.
any ideas?
Thanks!

See messages above yours about where to put the tc.log.

As for your errors, can't really help much without a log but I assume you don't have the paths for your movies in your sources.xml so Kodi can't/won't read the directory contents for security reasons. Or the path is no longer accessible to Kodi because you've deleted/moved/renamed/offlined the storage.

Is it possible use your script to scan the library with this addon and download all extra informations?

Check your kodi.log for errors, as Kodi is not able to access this path - missing, deleted, offline, not in sources.xml, I can't tell.

So looking at your log I see a lot of these errors:

This is the script asking Kodi to traverse the folders E:\-=Movies=-\-=Other=- and E:\-=Movies=-\-=Comedy=- which Kodi is unable to traverse, possibly because you don't have the E:\-=Movies=- path in your sources.xml which is a new security feature in Kodi 18, so add the missing movie source if you want to allow external programs access to the directory and sub-directories.

Or possibly the path no longer exists or is no longer accessible to Kodi, in which case... you'll need to fix that.

It looks like the script is able to access F:\-=Video=-\Movies\-=Other=- (etc.) so either that path is in your sources.xml, or it is available/accessible to Kodi - it's just the E:\-=Movies=- path that Kodi is not allowed/not able to access.

(2019-02-16, 11:24)Milhouse Wrote: @bob77 have a look in your kodi.log for errors as it's Kodi that is having the problem accessing the E:\ path - the script is trying to access the path "through" Kodi but Kodi isn't working and there's no way for the script to know what the problem is as this isn't reported by Kodi to the script - all the script gets from Kodi is a pretty useless generic "invalid params" error.

Double backslashes are normal when dealing with Windows file names.
