Running 14.0 Kodibuntu on an ASUS Chromebox with all my files on my NAS. The library is the default setup, not in a separate MySQL database.
I've set up Kodi and added my Movies and TV shares via SMB to the NAS. The movies scraped just fine & populated the library. The TV Shows also scraped fine and added to the library. Occasionally, however, full seasons, or even full shows will disappear from the TV library.
For example, last night, I wanted to watch an older Mythbusters episode. I scrolled through the show listing to the Mythbusters cover, clicked select, and instead of seeing the listing of all 15 seasons, I saw the (flatten on one season) listing of shows from season 15 only. I backed up once to the show listing, clicked the "Info" button, scrolled around to the "refresh" button, selected it, selected "refresh all seasons", then "Ignore local" = "NO", gave it a minute or two to scan the network directory, and then all 15 seasons appeared. My daughter had it happen later yesterday evening with Downton Abbey. I've had it happen in the past with Top Gear and Star Trek (TOS).
I do not believe it is a scraping issue, as the library was aware that all 15 seasons were there last week when I went to watch last week's Mythbusters (and Top Gear), and it has all the information about all the episodes in local nfo files already. I've been running XBMC since my first install on an original hacked XBOX, so I understand the libraries, setting library contents and folder structure. This has only been an issue since I installed 14.0 and the Chromebox - a simultaneous event. I've been having sporadic issues with the TV library since then (around Nov '14), but have dealt with it via a library refresh on a show-by-show basis until now. On initial install, I did delete then recreate the TV library 2 or 3 times in an attempt to get it to fix the issue, but that didn't seem to have any impact on the situation.
I understand that 'occasional' errors are very hard to track down. Should I refresh all TV shows (individually) to ensure that the library is fully rebuilt, turn on debugging, reboot the Chromebox, and wait until a show/season is missing again then add the debug log here? Any other suggestions?
