That at least means that Kodi has access rights to the folder, which is a good thing. What many users do wrong is that they do not exit the film view in Kodi after the sync so that the new images can be displayed. The film set images are only displayed if the film list is called up after syncing. Can you test that?

Check this file if you've added a login for the whole server or change it if needed. I've you've fix that is also no longer needed to store the login in the image paths.

(2020-06-02, 11:01)DanCooper Wrote: First of all: The Kodi Interface (KI) does not access the Kodi database directly, but uses the JSON-RPC API (v10 ATM in KI): Link
That means that i don't have access to tables or views like "episode_view" or "season_view".

If you want to test the API you can use the default Kodi webinterface. On the bottom right corner is a button with 3 dots and a "The Lab" menu. In the lab is an "API browser" that allows you to send any API call to check what Kodi sends back as information (and thus to the KI).

How the KI sync tv shows elements:

TV show:

1. Get a list of tv shows of a specific path
   
   Code:

   List.Filter.Rule.TVShows.field = List.Filter.Fields.TVShows.path
List.Filter.Rule.TVShows.Operator = List.Filter.Operators.Is
List.Filter.Rule.TVShows.value = "smb://TVSHOW_PATH"
   Code:

   VideoLibrary.GetTVShows(filter)
2. If the result is exactly 1 entry than the KI uses that ID to sync.
   

TV season:

1. Get the tv show ID (see above).
   
2. Get a list of all seasons of a specific tv show by tv show ID
   
   Code:

   VideoLibrary.GetSeasons(ShowID)
3. Filter the results by season number.
   
4. If now the result is exactly 1 than use that season ID to sync.
   

TV episode:

1. Get the tv show ID (see above).
   
2. Get a list of episodes with ShowID and path filter
   
   Code:

   filter = New List.Filter.EpisodesAnd

filterRule_Path.field = List.Filter.Fields.Episodes.path
filterRule_Path.Operator = List.Filter.Operators.Is
filterRule_Path.value = "smb://EPISODE_PATH"
filter.and.Add(filterRule_Path)

filterRule_Filename.field = List.Filter.Fields.Episodes.filename
filterRule_Filename.Operator = List.Filter.Operators.Is
filterRule_Filename.value = "filename.ext"
filter.and.Add(filterRule_Filename)
   Code:

   VideoLibrary.GetEpisodes(filter, ShowID, Season#)
3. If the result is exactly 1 than use this ID to sync.
   If the result is more than one than try to filter by episode number (multi-episode handling)

 Why, though?

• With only the TVDB scraper enabled, it gets stuck forever because they apparently disabled free scraping, but Ember just keeps trying.
  
• With only the TMDB scraper enabled, it doesn't seem to be able to get any episode names.
  
• With only the IMDB scraper enabled, I end up without any data on specials (aka Season 0).
  
• With both TMDB and IMDB scrapers enabled, I end up with Ember telling me that I need two copies of the pilot episode: One as S00E01 and the other as S01E00!

Unfortunately the whole thing "degenerated" again and I've been writing code since 2 weeks. It will probably take another week until there is a new release. In the meantime you can secure an API key at OMDb, because there will also be a new scraper for IMDb, RT and Metacritic ;-)

Thank you for the update Dan.

I have not had a chance to use the latest version yet or EMM at all since TVDB moved to a subscription service. What is the recommended scraper order for TV shows right now?
