Chenobyl Diaries (2012) is not being picked up by my scanner AT-ALL. No matter how many times I rename it. When I go into files > movies directory > movie information over the folder Chernobyl Diaries (2012), or just Chernobyl Diares or even a more messed up name Chenobyl2012Diares - it works just fine.

Why does manual movie info scan work perfect yet the auto-scan completely skips over this movie ? Other than it being a crappy movie?

Kodi has that problem with series too, many items are not detected, we are not alone in this matter.
I went back to XBMC 13 and my problems are gone.

That is completely unrelated since the OPs issue is most likely somewhat API and spelling related. You´ve reported the issues? Otherwise they won´t get fixed.

Hard to tell without a debug log. But i guess it´s a mixture of API nonsense and spelling issues. Please enable debug logging in system settings, scrape for new content and provide the entire kodi.log.

You say unrelated, I say it's exactly the same.

Yes, I reported it and it was said this was fixed in 14.2 beta 2 but it isn't.

heres the ONLY USEFUL thing even related to the movie in the log....mind telling me what the deal is? Again....auto-scan doesn't pick up said film....but movie info on said folder with two TIMES the weirdest names = INSTANT FIND! It's not normal - IM ON GOTHAM ....not kodi. I tried on Kodi = same deal

@TheLastOfUs. Please disable the watchdog service and hit "update library". We need the entire log since it contains additional information. The snippet you posted contains no log line created by the VideoInfoScanner.

[mkortstiege]

While at it, what filesystem is used on the smb side? Btw, just noticed THEM vs THEMOVIETHEATER. Might be a manual edit before posting that snippet though.

[TheLastOfUs]

Apparently I had to do "Scan Recursively"....why?

[TheLastOfUs]

The movies are in a folder "/Movies" and then in their own folder..I noticed that Watch Dog was not picking up anything and neither was UPDATE LIBRARY until I did "Scan Recursively"....:/

[mkortstiege]

Not entirely sure but it sounds to me as if the content settings were kinda broken and the re-configure fixed it. Glad it's working now.

[TheLastOfUs]

So I'm a bit confused. Is Scanning Recursively not recommended? That's the thing that fixed it. Otherwise unchecking that results in the same issues...

[mkortstiege]

@TheLastOfUs, hard to tell without knowing the underlying file and folder structure. There's nothing wrong with recursive scanning.
