The problem
It seems that TheMovieDB may have made some changes to their API again which are now affecting the Kodi XML scrapers. @olympia will advise if this assumption is incorrect
The issue seems to affect selected titles, usually recent and current release movies.
Exactly one year ago the problem I'm going to report was already reported... Any news on this problem? For me it's not on recent titles but on old one too!
And since I have started from scratch Kodi on my "secondary" device (a Bqeel connected to my bedroom's tv) I'm sure that the old titles currently not loaded WERE scraped long time ago.
I have already tried renaming the files exactly as shown on TMDB site, I have also tried to move them on subfolder but still they are not scraped...
Here you are a debug log

Uhm... just before posting this reply I've reviewed these missing movies and, correct me if I'm wrong, it looks like the scraper
wasn't using the file name but an internal metadata!!

And, guess what? Into the metadata there is the tag
movie name which does contain a "
stupid" (to be polite!) advertising string instead of the movie name!

Maybe the scraper can do a fallback using the file name if the metadata is not usefull??
...and I 
I have created a dummy file named
