Could TheMovieDB scraper become a scraper for Music Videos as well?
My music library consists out of live concert dvd & bluRay registrations. The scrapers provided in Kodi for the Music Videos hardly find these dvd’s & bluRay’s.
When I change the Library content to “Movie” and scrape with TheMovieDB almost all content is found, only presented in my Movie library.
This I don’t want, simply because they are not movies.

I've been playing around with the "Light IMDB ratings update" add-on. One of its features is to be able to display if a movie or tv show has one or more of the following IDs: TheTVDB, TheMovieDB and IMDB. It also lets you add any or those missing IDs manually.
That said, there are some tv shows where tmdb works better than tvdb and some where it doesn't work at all. However, for ratings of any show IMDB is still the goto place for me. Here I have noticed that when I re-scrape a show which was previously scraped the with TheTVDB then TMDB add-on removes the IMDB ID from the database. On the other hand when I re-scrape with TheTVDB scraper all IDs are left intact, including the TMDB ID.
This behaviour can easily be checked via the "Light IMDB ratings update" context menu item. I see no clear reason for the ID deletion and would suggest to remove this behaviour.

odds are high that themoviedb.org TV scraper is not scraping IMDb id at all, that's why the refresh process removes it from the Db.

Thanks for the quick response. I'm not having issues with the NFS connection, every other file scans in properly and it's all in the same master directory of volume1/Media/TV shows/ I can even play them right off my NAS in Mac Finder with no issues
I appended year to the title which triggered it to be added to my library but still doesn't show up properly. I just get a picture of a default folder instead of artwork and when I click into the folder it shows no episodes
See sample below:
2019-02-25 20:19:52.254 T:12647 DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: Rescanning dir 'nfs://192.168.1.44/volume1/Media/TV Shows/30 for 30 (2009)/' due to change (c7d64ed72eb2ee8139ff12ad12622bbd != 1347e4afd83057d8b286e9550111f6bc)

Almost nonsense; that part of the scraper code is only used for recognizing TV Shows by their IMDb Id if there is an nfo file with the IMDb Id included.
IMDb Id is not scraped alongside with other info and unfortunately it is not trivial and mins effort to add.
