I renamed the PPV folder without the date, scraped with TVDB and still got nothing, with TMDB the series scraped but now zero seasons/episodes.

I think you will be out of luck because the shows you are looking for are not listed as TV shows but as movies.

Example from your log file "smb://MEDIASERVER1/AEW/AEW PPV (2019)/Season 11 AEW Double or Nothing":

TVDB: = https://www.thetvdb.com/movies/aew-double-or-nothing
TMDB: = https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/1265700

It all worked in Kodiv18 and works fine in Jellyfin 10.9.1 Only Kodiv21 is having an issue.

All the NFOs have been custom modified to create a TV show, regardless of how things are listed on various DB sites. I manually add each new PPV with custom NFOs. I'm not looking to get Kodi to scrape information from DB sites to auto populate new entries, only to recognize the already existing information as it did prior. And it has, somewhat, recognized the show and 1 season of 2 episodes when using TMDB scraper, but can't find it with TVDB scraper. I have even scanned with no scraper, local information only, and get the same results of adding the show and 1 season with 2 episodes. Up to Kodi 18 this worked with no issues at all. I can't even tell what's different about the 1 season/2 episodes that do scrape vs all the rest. Just confused.

My understanding is that he has nfo files for the show and episodes.

Correct, the show and all episodes have NFO files. All manually created/edited. All worked fine in prior Kodi versions. All work fine in the latest Jellyfin release. Only Kodi v21 (haven't tested v20) does this not work.

[Fuchs2468]

I think you should provide your nfo files for "AEW PPV (2019)" (tvshow.nfo and episodes.nfo).
There may be an error that you overlooked.

NFOs for TV Show and First + Last "Season" episodes. Plus all the seasons lists in current Jellyfin 10.9.1 server working as expected.

I tested your nfo files and they work.
When I look at your log files, I notice that you don't have the correct name or folder structure.
You should correct that.

as an example:
episodes nfo = episodes filename

look here:
https://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files/TV_shows
https://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files/Episodes

Here is my test with your nfo files.

Sorry, what is incorrect with the file naming structure?

All the episode files and nfo have the same filename, plus the -thumb images.

All are the same as season 5 which does scrape when using TMDB scarper or local information only. Nothing scrapes when using TVDB scraper.

[Fuchs2468]

This is simply the exclusion principle!
You can see that the NFO files you provided work.
As a difference, I don't have all the pictures for your TV show, but it doesn't matter.

There are three components that have to fit: folder structure, file name and NFO file.
The NFO files you posted work, look at my example.

Which NFO file doesn't work for you?

You can't use a TMDB scarper or TVDB scraper if you want to have "AWE" as a TV show, it only works with local NFO file.

I need the following 3 items...

1. Screenshot of one of you Season folders that does not scan. Ensure all files and their extensions are visible.
2. Your tvshow.nfo file and your episode files, zipped up and uploaded somewhere for me to download. If you can provide the entire tv show without the video files that would be even better.
3. Your MyVideos131 database.

Let me dig around and see if I can figure out where the block is. I am suspecting some corruption in the db - possibly left over episodes as I note in your episode nfo files, the uniqueID's are a bit mucked up and I think you are reusing ID's that belong to other episodes already in your library.

[scott967]

Not the cause of a problem, but AFAIK:

xml:
 <uniqueid type="imdb" default="true">tt87719</uniqueid>

<uniqueid type="tmdb" default="true">606610</uniqueid>

<uniqueid type="tvdb" default="true">51912</uniqueid>

I think only one should have default="true" and the effect of what you do is the last line read becomes the default.  Not sure if that was your intent.

Also your skin helper service addon is obviously broken.  I recommend redownloading a full zip from https://github.com/kodi-community-addons...er.service

Also your skin is buggy but I suspect you know that.

I backed up the MyVideos DB file and started Kodi without one. Added the AEW SMB with local information only and everything in the PPV folder scanned. I deleted the PPV "show" and changed the folder content to scrape with TVDB and re-scraped which failed to add the PPV "show". Changed to TMDB scraper and it scraped the show and only season 5 which it did before. There's some conflict with the actual TV show scrapers as ll the information is possible to scrape but not with a scraper active. I can work around that, annoying as it is, but I'm not certain what might happen when I try to add the next PPV next weekend.

Did a test with my preppared files for next week and some temp video files to stand-in. After scanning the full AEW SMB with local information everything scraped in fine. I created the stand-ins for the next PPV, changed the scraper to TVDB and scraped. Kodi brought in the new PPV files with custom NFOs properly. So going forward I should be able to keep adding as I won't be doing a full re-scrape anyime soon. Still would be nice to understand just why this is messed up in v21 vs previous versions where it worked as it should.

Please check!
As I see in your log file you have MP4 files. Therefore this setting should be deactivated. Otherwise you might get no information or incorrect information.

I don't have this activated.
