kodi.log -v- kodi.old.log
The Kodi logs are Session Logs. The logs are written from Kodi startup to Kodi shutdown (or crash). The next time you start Kodi, the existing kodi.log is renamed Kodi.old.log and a new kodi.log is created for this new session. In effect you only ever have two logs available- the current one, and the previous one.

Which log you upload depends...

1. If you have created the log which captures the problem and have not restarted Kodi, then upload kodi.log
   
2. If you have created the log which captures the problem and have restarted Kodi, then upload kodi.old.log

I use a Shield TV as well and here's an excerpt where I open the video manager dialog and then select 'Choose art' and the select dialog opens:

code:
2024-05-05 11:55:34.596 T:14569   debug <general>: ------ Window Init (DialogVideoManager.xml) ------

2024-05-05 11:55:34.596 T:14569    info <general>: Loading skin file: DialogVideoManager.xml, load type: KEEP_IN_MEMORY

...

2024-05-05 11:55:40.429 T:14569   debug <general>: HandleKey: return (0xf00d) pressed, window 12017, action is Select

Ok, wasn't aware that that's how it works... but makes sense. Here is my kodi.old.log after recreating the issue. Thanks!

Is there a kodi_crashlog file in there?

[Cory1980]

I don't see a crash log file in the same temp folder...

From the log he gets a "DialogBusy" which doesn't go away, instead of a "FileBrowser" dialog for selection of the art.
Did you customize Estuary in any way?
I don't know the Android platform, is there a way to backup your use data and try with a fresh installation with as few settings changes from default as possible?
A short video of your steps from the addition of the extra would help understand what's happening.
You could also provide another debug log after enabling the database component in the additional component logging options.

I've also noticed that symbols in an extra's filename are ignored, and have to be manually renamed in the Extras Manager. Maybe this stuff is already planned for future updates to make the Extras feature more fleshed out... and this is just the initial base feature implementation?

Leaving the special characters in doesn't seem to cause problems so I created a change request. Not sure if it can be backported to a future v21.x as it's not a fix technically.

I have a question. Hopefully this is the right place for this. I have a new Kodi install on Ubuntu running Omega. Previously, I had the Extras add on set up and the advanced settings xml file set to exclude the Extras folders from showing up in the movie listing.

Now, the extras are all showing up in the library (from 900 movies -> 3000) all as Extras (2024).  The Settings in the Video Library to exclude the extras appears to have no effect. I'm using Aeon Nox Silvo skin. How do I configure Kodi to stop showing the Extras in the movie listing?

[Hitcher]

You definitely have 'Ignore video extras on scan' disabled?

[mikeSiLVO]

For extras to show up in the library, are you sure that your new install has the extras folders ignored in your new advancedsettings.xml (wiki) file?

Some of the possibilities are listed below:

xml:
		<excludefromscan action="append">

			<regexp>-extras-</regexp>

			<regexp>/Extras/</regexp>

			<regexp>/extras/</regexp>

			<regexp>[\\/]Extras[\\/]</regexp>

			<regexp>[\\/]extras[\\/]</regexp>

		</excludefromscan>

		<excludetvshowsfromscan action="append">

			<regexp>-extras-</regexp>

			<regexp>/Extras/</regexp>

			<regexp>/extras/</regexp>

			<regexp>[\\/]Extras[\\/]</regexp>

			<regexp>[\\/]extras[\\/]</regexp>

		</excludetvshowsfromscan>

The exclude from scan does not affect the extras being added as extras during scan.

I am curious if this Wiki page will get updated to include the new Movie Sets feature which added a couple of tables ?  Or is there a newer place for this documentation of the new database schema ?  I realize everyone is busy so I am not complaining, just asking.


Thanks,

Jeff

It will... eventually. I am quite busy and having trouble finding time to update. Some pages are quick, a little adjustment here and there... Done. Other pages take hours. The database pages will take time.

These pages under Outdated need updating... https://kodi.wiki/view/User:Karellen/scratchpad
If anyone else wants to hop in, feel free...

Is there any news regarding the movie version functionality? Any changes/improvements planned for the next version?
I actually have a significant ammount of movies with different versions and after the release of 21 spend a great deal of time to run through the manual process of combining versions into a single entry for all of them. Now unfortunately I had to move one of my movie folders to a different location and all the work is down the drain and I have to do all of it again.
I am still unsure if I am ready to bother with it at all because it is tedious work and takes a long time, and I kind of hope that some .nfo-file based approach might be considered?...

[CrystalP]

FYI a couple fixes went in v22 last week to preserve special characters in extras names and to fix some trouble after removing movies and/or additional versions of a movie.

I'm trying to use local art with my Extras, but they aren't automatically selected when I run Update Library. As a result, the Extras Manager shows not poster and no thumbnail. Am I missing something?

I'm suing KODI on the Xbox Series X. (I don't know how to tell what version of KODI it is, or I would post that as well.)
I'm using the Estuary skin.
I have created the following file structure and named files.

• Movies [Folder]
  • A Bug's Life [Folder]
    • Extras [Folder]
      • Geri's Game.mkv
        
      • Geri's Game.nfo
        
      • Geri's Game-fanart.jpg
        
      • Geri's Game-poster.jpg
        
      • Geri's Game-thumb.jpg
        
    • A Bug's Life.mkv
      
    • A Bug's Life.nfo
      
    • A Bug's Life-fanart.jog
      
    • A Bug's Life-poster.jpg
      

The movie shows up just as it should with correct title, poster, fanart, etc.
When I go into the movie Information Page, scroll to the right, and then select "extras" the Extras Manager lists the Extra but the title is "Geri s Game" (no apostrophe) and there is no poster or thumbnail displayed. I can manually change the name and add the poster and thumbnail, but I don't want to. I'm new to KODI and I have hundreds of movies with extras to import. I really don't want to edit every extra by hand.
