TMM v. 3.0 .. really love this program, was happy to donate. New UI is elegant and so far working flawlessly (knock on silicon) for me. the only issue I'm having is the following:
I can't get Kodi to scrape actor images (locally) that have been downloaded w/ TMM. I have a large curated collection and use TMM to do all the scraping w/ a lot of manual input to develop the directories and .nfo's the way I want them. Then use Kodi with the 'local' scrape only setting to bring them in via the network. TMM properly generates all .actors directories & downloads the actor .jpgs .. etc. and all directories/files correspond to proper
format
I find multiple posts here asking about this but the answers are the same (Kodi's local precedence over NFO files; Kodi's
docs confirm this) as in this post:
2017-05_#6, with no one validating a solution. The .nfo/ .actors example there mirrors my situation (outside urls in nfo, etc) .. I can verify Kodi does NOT scrape these images .. unless I'm missing a buried setting in Kodi somewhere ? (I've been all over it). Deleted all media sources/media cache, clean library, etc. .. then add a 'new' media source, set content to 'movies', local scrape only, toggle on movies are in separate files..., open library (or files).. no actor images. Logs do not indicate any noticeable issues. Actor .jpgs exist in the .actors directories for each movie/directory. Everything else (.nfo meta, artwork, etc) scrapes and populates perfectly. Since the directory/file format is correct either Kodi is not scraping .actors or it's trying to pull actors from the NFO which points to urls?
Maybe Kodi can weigh in here?
.. Any thoughts on getting the local actor data from .actors into Kodi?
