Poorly worded title, I know.
I rip my 1080p movie disk to my server. I use filebot to rename, or manually rename. Format movie_name (yyyy) - resolution [flags].mkv
For example, Aliens - Covenant (2017) - 1080p [Extended].mkv.
Kodi imports without issue.
I pick up a 4k version at the local op shop. Two files can't exist in the same folder with the same name, so this one gets called Alien - Covenant (2017) - 2160p [Extended].mkv.
Kodi will not import this movie unless I rename it to Alien Covenant (2017).mkv. I can manually create an nfo and adjust the details, still won't import.
In some cases I have additional versions.
For example, Alien Prometheus. There is a theatrical and extended version. I have also edited in some deleted scenes, and created a version for my son because he hates one particular scene.
Prometheus (2012) - 1080p.mkv
Prometheus (2012) - 1080p [Extended].mkv
Prometheus (2012) - 1080p [Edited cut]
Prometheus (2012) - 1080p [Peytons Cut].mkv
I later go to add the following file. It will not import.
Prometheus (2012) - 2160p [Extended].mkv
The reason these movies are not getting imported is according to the log file "No information found for <movie_name>. It will not be added to the library".
If I delete the entire library and start from scratch it will add all movies without issue.
How do I fix this, without having to delete and recreate entire library every few weeks.
