Apart from the seasonname, are you aware of any other tags that are not scanning correctly? Is this something you can test in your setup?

I can give it a go if you just tell me what you want tested. For now here is a log of a single show refresh, I've only included the parts relevant to the refresh (gotten from comparing the file immediately before and then after a refresh, then copying the new entries) but I can include everything if needed.

The log was taken from KODI 18.9, scraped using "TMDb TV Shows" version 1.1.30 with the following nfo:

xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>

<tvshow>

    <title>Akatsuki no Yona</title>

    <namedseason number="1">Akatsuki no Yona</namedseason>

    <namedseason number="99">OP/ED</namedseason> <!-- The files in this season all have individual nfo's, the seasons one I personally create for show openings and endings. The name scans in correctly -->

    <uniqueid default="false" type="tmdb">61461</uniqueid>

    <uniqueid default="false" type="tvrage">45273</uniqueid>

    <uniqueid default="false" type="imdb">tt3957196</uniqueid>

    <uniqueid default="true" type="tvdb">283942</uniqueid>

</tvshow>

I've not seen any other tags that don't work but I've only just started using the TMDb scraper. Though I don't mind testing any tags you ask for.

EDIT: Helps if I actually include the log.

@Karellen @pkscout, got a response from the TMDb staff now that fallback language is a planned feature, but is not yet implemented. Thank you for taking an interest.

I did a quick test with the show referenced.  Good news (I guess).  I added a plot to the nfo file, and Kodi stored that instead of the plot from TMDb.  So this might just be restricted to named seasons.  I still don't have a good idea on a solution, but I feel better that it might be only be this one thing. And it at least narrows where I need to look.

All other tags work except <seasonname>

Thanks @Tobby

@pkscout has coded a fix for your issue. Could you please test and see if it works as expected.

Download and install the zip file from here... https://github.com/xbmc/metadata.tvshows...easons-fix

The fix is for v19 but a backport will come in the next day or so for v18. Don't remember which version you are on.

Unfortunately I'm still on 18.9 and don't really want to move over until the Embuary skin updates for 19 (I don't think it has). Though naturally I'll update if you really need me to do some testing.

Thanks for taking the time and doing the update so quickly.

The fix has been backported to Leia. You can download it here to test:

Just ran a quick test and everything seems to be working. I'm doing a much bigger scan now and let you know if I can find any issues after it finishes.

Thank you for everything

Good to hear. And please do report back. I'm going to hold off on pushing an update until we've had some time to test this more.

Just finished the scan and have went through a bunch of entries and they've all seemed to scan in correctly. However one problem did pop up, I found a show which had a problem with it's nfo which resulted in the season to be scanned in with it's tmdb name, after fixing the nfo and doing a refresh the season name didn't update. I could replicate this issue in other shows by removing the namedseason tag, doing a refresh and then adding it back in, the season name wouldn't change back on the second refresh.

I think that is caused by the Pickle cache which is persistent for 3 hours. It saves unnecessary and numerous API calls to the providers.

Once I deleted the pickle cache, the season names updated correctly.

If you check your log, you should see something similar to the following which tells you where the cache is on your system. You can delete the ...\metadata. folder without harm.
[metadata.tvshows.themoviedb.org.python (1.3.14)]: the cache dir is C:\KODI\KODI- v19 nightlies\portable_data\cache\scrapers\metadata.tvshows.themoviedb.org.python

I should have figured it would be something like that. Everything worked fine after deleting the cache

I don't believe that's a scraper function. That's a core Kodi behavior. You should be able to browse to select that art.
