Obviously. You misunderstood; I tested what I wanted, eg using a path like /lib/movies/0111161/movie.nfo with a correctly populated url-only movie.nfo pointing to https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111161, and it works. Thanks, I guess.

Yep, I guess I did. But glad you got the Parsing NFO file working as I would not have guessed that was what you were after.

More info here if you need it... NFO_files (wiki)

My movie files are named like: Soul (2020) [tt2948372].mkv

I add this code to my advancedsettings.xml file to get an accurate match based on the IMDB ID.

xml:
<advancedsettings>

<video>

<cleandatetime>\[(tt[0-9]+)\]</cleandatetime>

<cleanstrings></cleanstrings>

</video>

</advancedsettings>

are you sure with
<cleandatetime>\[(tt[0-9]+)\]</cleandatetime>
i try
- a vif [tt0476964] .mkv
- tt0476964.mkv

and none of them work
the good result is
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0476964/

as you can see "a vif (2007) .mkv" does not work either that's why the tt number are mandatory (if working).
"a vif" is the french title

PS "à vif (2007).mkv" works

I copied and pasted the code I shared earlier into my advancedsetting.xml to make sure there wasn't an issue with the code. Kodi scanned your example successfully into my library. See the video below.

thanks for your answer
after some other research, i found that i must reconfigure the universal movie scraper
- to use imdb with fr-fr in secondary language (menu search)
- (not sure) get the title in french from imdb (menu general)

in advancedsetting.xml
<cleandatetime>\[?(tt[0-9]+)\]?</cleandatetime> to accept [tt99] and tt99 (my choice)
<cleanstrings><regexp>\([^12].*?\)</regexp></cleanstrings>

with this configuration all the tests below works
a vif (2007) .mkv
à vif (2007) .mkv <= with accent on a
a vif [tt0476964] .mkv
a vif tt0476964 .mkv
tt0476964.mkv
The Old Guard (2020) (4k).mkv
Alita Battle Angel (2019) (4k,vostfr) tt0437086.iso

BUT it was not normal to use a cleandatetime with a tt number instead of a real date (but at least it works)

michelb2 · 2021-01-29, 19:39

complement :
à vif (2007) .mkv <= with accent on a

works in kodi 18.9
doesn't work in kodi 19

I made the following post here: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid3012978 regarding some errors in my log file. However, I then turned on error logging and it appears to be coming from the metadata.universal script. I've attached the log file below. Hopefully someone can tell me what's going on, or what I can do to resolve this.

Note: I couldn't paste the entire log on the kodi log site. The rest of the log just sees to repeat itself.

Regards,

Shedrock

Follow these instructions here... https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2983546

Obviously you are deleting the universal movie folder instead.

Thanks @Karellen,

I have 13 Movie sources, as well as a mix of TheMovieDB for some Hallmark movies totaling 3,700+. I guess it is safe to assume that everything has to be re-scanned into the DB?

No. There is no mention anywhere of needing to scan your library again. Make the changes, and scrape in the movies that did not scrape previously.

Great, thank you so much @Karellen for the help.

A small "problem". I use the Universal Movie Scraper to Scrap Clearlogos from Fanart.tv. But i miss the Language Option fot Fanart.tv. I search for german Poster from Themoviedatabase but have english Clearlogos. The i use ThemovieDB scraper, i have german Clearlogos for all my movie, but with universal, i have english clear logos.

Provide a Debug Log and we might spot the problem.

It seems the scraper is only scraping 1 fanart most of the time. How do I make it scrape like 9 more fanarts for example?
