@AKjell
Still no good. Please follow the Debug Log instructions exactly as listed. You enabled debug mode too late, then disabled it too early so the log is of no help. Also as explained in the guide use Kodi Paste Site with your other site as a fallback if the log is too big.
Your filenaming is absolutely terrible and certainly does not match the correct titles at TheMovieDB and do not follow Kodi requirements. It is a wonder the scraper is able to find anything at all. At this stage all your failed scrapes I would put down to bad filenaming.
Also, please check item 1d is disabled as explained here... https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=336969

Hi,
I have a problem since the last update of "metadata.themoviedb.org", my Kodi can't connect to the server.
I tried different versions of the plugin but nothing work.
My Kodi is old, but I would not prefer to update it...
Thanks for the help !
(TVDB is working for TV shows)
RE: TheMovieDB - TV Show scraper - Karellen - 2020-09-05
@Kazuya FR
It is a known issue and resulted due to changes at TheMovieDB. The problem is not the scraper but the outdated protocols in older versions of Kodi.
If you do not upgrade your Kodi version, then your only solution is to create your own NFO files or a Media Manager to create them for you.

If that fails then you can...
1. Use a Parsing NFO file... https://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files#Parsing_nfo
or
2. After the wrong show is scraped, use the Refresh button from the Information Page and select the correct show when the options are offered.
Trying that now.
I am using a parsing nfo file, pointing to the correct page on TMDB. (https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/2583-prime-suspect?language=en-US)
Searching on TMDB for "Prime Suspect" gives 4 shows matching. The first one is the one I need.
However, the scraper consistently uses the second show, giving incorrect results. The second show has a different URL, of course.
Using the Refresh button as described above only gives me the 2nd, 3rd and 4th show from TMDB, and not the one I want.
I have read all the WIKI material on file naming and I believe I have it correct.
The TVDB scraper handles this correctly, but I want to standardize on TMDB
Anyone any idea?
TIA
Bart

@BartZorn
If Kodi is not scraping the correct show with a Parsing NFO, then there is something wrong with the Parsing NFO file.
Make sure it contains the link, and only the link. Nothing else. No codes, no tags, nothing but the link.
Make sure it is named correctly tvshow.nfo. It is NOT primesuspect.nfo or anything else. It is tvshow.nfo
If you think you have the above right, then provide a Debug Log and we might spot what the problem is.

I thought that they should be named after the tvshow name.
Now it works!
Never too old to learn! THANK YOU!

Tell me pls, does the scraper have a limit on the number of files in the series? I can't add the Simpsons to my library, there are more than 600 episodes. The series name scraper recognizes but does not match series and files, episodes are not added, and the TV show remains empty-0/0.. I checked all the file and folder names. Everything is correct.

1. Make the change as described in the above link

I know this scraper works as The Simpsons was the show we were using during the testing phase last week

RE: TheMovieDB - TV Show scraper - macomeau - 2020-10-03
I am having one issue that I cannot solve with the TMDB scraper: One specific episode of one specific show will not show up in my library. I suspect the problem is actually on TMDB's end, but I want to get more input.
The series in question is Endeavour (2013). The problem is the pilot, Season 0, Episode 1. I suspect TMDB is the problem because the episode on that page actually hyperlinks to Season 1, Episode 1 on the site. Browsing the debug log, which I really have no particular knowledge of, makes it look like this re-direct is making its way through the scraper, both 0x1 and 1x1 show up to Kodi as 1x1, and that there is no 0x1 as far as Kodi is concerned. Since my file is in the Season 0 directory and named S00E01, Kodi skips over it. It does find the actual 1x01 in the Season 1 directory, with the S01E01 name, and gives it the correct title. Is that what's happening here? If so, is there anything I can do either here or at TMDB's end?
My logfile is here.
RE: TheMovieDB - TV Show scraper - Karellen - 2020-10-03
I have seen this problem before @macomeau and it is a problem at TheMovieDB. They are aware of the issue... https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/34891-jake-and-the-never-land-pirates/discuss/5ca265eb9251411a1809bff7
It would be worth reporting the bug on that episode also, if you have an account there.
Your workarounds are...
1. Use an nfo file for that Pilot episode
2. Scrape the show from TVDB. Their episode numbering is all the same, so a quick change of the scraper for this one show should be easy.
https://www.thetvdb.com/series/endeavour/seasons/official/0
Strange that the Pilot is considered a Special, and not the first episode of season 1
