My problem is that about 16 movies are not added to the xmc library.
All of them are in sperate folders and each of them has it's own movie.nfo file.
I use Ember Revised for the scraping and creation of all the NFO files. So all are done the same way so only 16 of the about 197 show this problem.
Already deleted my library and readded everything. No problems with TV series.
This is a part of the debug log wich show it can not find nfo file however it doesn't use the xbmc built-in scraper either.

If i do delete the nfo file xbmc does use the internal scaper and movie gets added.

Using nightly "XBMCSetup-20110812-a75cce4-master".

Tried another aproach by ussing "<movie title>.nfo" instead of "movie.nfo" and now the missing movie are added. Why doesn't "movie.nfo" work with some movie?

The only reason I know which causes movie.nfo to be ignored is when "use folder names for lookups" isn't enabled

Yes i read that in the wiki. However i do find it strange that it is ignored completely. I can understand if you enable "use folder" it does priority search for movie.nfo before searching "<moviename>.nfo". It was my understanding if you disbable it it search for whatever nfo file is stored in the folder.

It's completely ignored because its a lazy .nfo file designed for one-movie-per-folder layouts that will cause a hell lot of trouble in case the scanner would pick it up regardlessly of the scraper settings. Eg. you will end up with 200 x "Titanic" .. you don't want this, right?

Not realy. I don't like that movie that much Confused

But that aside.
If it skips the movie.nfo if the "use folder" is disabled it should have scanned the movie with the internal scraper.
However it didn't and only if i remove the movie.nfo it uses the internal scraper.

No title based search was performed? Well, then it sounds like an bug. Please make sure it's not a search issue and file a bug ticket. Feel free to cc me.

It did a search just fine - just no results were returned (debug log is in first post)

**mkortstiege** · 2011-08-14, 10:37

Then it's no bug.

The other example in the debug log "pirates of the caribian" had simular problems. Like i mentioned it did return results when i removed the nfo file. So the movie naming was correct or else it shouldn't find it.
I'll do another test with a smaller library and post the log.

EDIT:
Can't seem to reproduce the error.
