I'm trying to get it in french, and the TV Poster is set in TMDB website.

Does your nfo file have artwork links? Are they French posters? Post your nfo file contents to Kodi Paste Site

For all my TV Shows, the nfo files are built the same way : just the TV Show ID to help Kodi finding it easily

@Capslock

That Combination NFO achieves nothing. Clear everything out except the URL and you will have a proper Parsing NFO file.

Also you are not using the new TMBD TV Show scraper as you state in your thread title, you are using TheMovieDB scraper.

I don't know why it is not working with TheMovieDB scraper, but if you swap over to TMDB TV Show scraper it works.

Hi,
$INFO[ListItem.OriginalTitle] is empty in my skin.
after checking it turns out that C09 in the tvshows table is empty too.
Could you see why?

If I add <originaltitle> Sliders </originaltitle> to the nfo tvshow then I refresh the series, then it's ok.


thank you

The scraper doesn't include both names (the translated and the original). If you enable the option to keep the original title, the original title is used as the series name.  As far as I know this is consistent with the behavior of the other scrapers.  In your case, you have the keep original title setting off, so you will get the translated title.

Thank you for taking the time for this.
I would therefore add the original title directly to the database.

Speaking of 'Keep original title'. Is there any particular reason why this option is just for the title and not the artwork and info as well?

Info and artwork are based on the language you select. There is no "original artwork" or "original info." There is just info and artwork in the language you select.

After talking to some of the team on the Slack channel, I see now what the older scrapers were doing. There are almost no skins that show the original title, so it's one of those things that got lost in the shuffle when we wrote the Python scraper. I've added it as an issue, and hopefully I can get to it in the next week or so.

I know. I was simply wondering why that choice was made. Why be able to choose the original title language, but not use the original language for the artwork and info as well.

This is obviously not specific to just your scraper addon, but i always wondered and your discussion got me thinking about it.

Let me try again. This was not a choice that was made.  It's a reality of the data.  If you look at the data in TMDb, there is no such thing as "original artwork" or "original info."  There is just artwork and info with lots of different languages.  There is no way to tell which of the languages is the original one.

edit: just for completeness, TMDb does have an entry for original language, so technically you could programmatically get artwork only in the original language and info in the original language, but I don't know of anywhere to store that in the Kodi db structure. Original title is the only thing I'm aware of that has a special place like that.

@roby69 @Tobby There is updated code for the TMDb TV Show scrapers that addresses the issues you two brought up.

1- by default separates landscape art and fanart (with option to disable that and have it all be fanart)
2- saves Original Title to C09 in the database (which should be able to be referenced by skins)

If one or both of you could test the changes before I push them to the main repo, that would be very helpful.

Tested the Leia version and both your fixes seem to work great. Thanks a lot. That was quick.


Also, sorry to bother you again, but lately when scraping TV shows with Swedish as my preferred language the episode titles don't fall back to English, even though everything else does. Instead they are simply named "Avsnitt 1, 2, 3” and so on (Episode 1, 2, 3 in English).

I tried it with the non Python version and got the same result, so it's not an error in your addon, but perhaps an API change from TMDb? Do you have any clue? This has happened even though there's no Swedish translation for the show at all on TMDb.
