As I think is is confirmed: namedseason in the NFO file (combination nfo) is not working. It is been ignored/overwritten by the scraper.
See posting #174 et seq. and Issue #19105.

I also use simple combining tvshow-NFO files and just get the season names from TMDb.
N.b: I'm still von Kodi v18.

Beside the issue I wonder about the Wiki for the nfo Tags: For tvshow-Nfo the tag namedseason is listed twice. Once before tag outline, with note "Not Used" and once after tag actor.
I guess this is a shortcoming and it should be listed just once. I think the first occurrence should be removed. With fixed Issue #19105 is should also work.

There is a fix for that already, and I swore I pushed it out.  On Leia if you have 1.1.31 or later, the named seasons in NFO files should be working.  If you don't have that version, try updating from the repo. If that still doesn't work, then it means I have lost my mind of forgot to push the update.

Any chance we could we get a clean Studio value without the country added.

If a skin wants to display the country as well then it should really be up to the skin to add it, thanks.

The standard display for the other scrapers is to include country with studio, but I will put on the to do list to add an option to disable that. I don't know that you're going to find many skins that have that separately though, so the setting will, in essence, remove the country from the studio.

Neither the old xml TMDB scraper or theTVDB scraper include the country code with the studio for me and afaik none of the movie scrapers add the country code to the studio either. If it could be added as an option to disable that would be great, Thanks

@pkscout I've put together a pull request to add in the option to remove the country code from the studio

For me it's not working on Kodi 18.9.
v1.1.31? I have version 3.5.13 of the add-on "The Movie Database" ("TMDB TV show Scraper") and I did not see any updates.
However, I don't expect it to work correct since issue #19105 is still open.

PS: My log and my files and my data (season name from TMDB but not from my NFO).

I have version 3.5.13 of the add-on "The Movie Database"

That is the XML scraper, not the Python scraper.

I'm not sure what this means. Do I have to old scraper? And "TMDb TV Shows" (1.1.32) is the new one?

Anyhow: I've switched to "TMDb TV Shows" now and here it's working, like expected.

Yes. You were using the old scraper, and TMDB TV Shows (1.1.32) is the new one.

Great!!

Question .. so I read that a while ago in this thread, if you set your scraper language to for instance Dutch .. but that if no Dutch content (for the show or an episode) was found it wound use English as fallback language. I also read later on that due to changes on themoviedb this didn't work anymore .. and work on this was put on hold until themoviedb sorted some stuff out. Now I've just noticed that when I'm browsing the themoviedb .. I see for some shows that some episodes have Dutch translations filled in for the plot, and other episodes don't .. but where before it than stated "no dutch translation added yet" ... it now shows the info in English.
Would this mean that the site itself is now providing English as fallback language .. and that the scraper would scrape it ?

Unfortunately, no. The website does not use the TMDb API, so it can do things that can't be done via the API.  The request for the API to return fallback results like the web site does is still in their queue to be done.  It's been #1 in the Up Next group for quite awhile.

Hi,

Python crashes when I scan my library with TMDB TV Shows 1.1.32 (Kodi 18.2 on LibreElec, arm64).
First I get warnings about language :

Code:

WARNING: CSettingsManager: unable to read value of setting "language"
WARNING: CAddonSettings[metadata.themoviedb.org]: failed to load value "fr" for setting language

Then python crashes :

Code:

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 364, in decode
TypeError: expected string or buffer

Full log
edit : Full log 2 with debug mode
edit : Full log 3 with debug mode (full log from kodi boot)

I don't understand where it finds the "fr" language (kodi language?)  because settings.xml have "en-US".
If I switch to "The Movie Database" v3.5.13 as tvshows scraper, all is working good but I'd like to use the last python scraper.

I edited my post to add another log with debug mode.
