Hello. I've been fighting this issue for a while now, it starting on XBMC on my windows machine and i was hoping it will be remedied now that i moved to Kodi on ubuntu.
Unfortunately it does still happen.
Here's the problem - on occasion, new shows won't get picked up by kodi. their folder is created, the episode name is 100% ok but kodi won't pick it up even if i update library or clean library and then update library.
I did find a workaround.
I think it'll be easier with an example that have happened lately.
When banshee's third season started a few weeks ago, the episode downloaded automatically into so i had
sitting there.
Howerver, as mentioned, kodi wouldn't pick up that episode even after library refresh / clean refresh.
The workaround that i found to work is to rename the top folder
That would trigger a full shows refresh and at the end of the refresh the episode would appear.
This is how i was dealing with the issue until now.
Today however, i am at loss as my workaround doesn't work =)
12 Monkeys started and it was downloaded.
I have
But no amount of refreshing library, renaming the folders or anything else i've tried helps.
Please help me diagnose this issue once and for all.
Here's the kodi.log but as you can see it absolutely and totally ignores 12 monkeys. Only mention of it is when i play it via Video / Files.
