Kodi 15.2
TMDB Scrapper 3.8.7

I have been and continue to experience a problem with the movie sets not scrapping properly. This started a couple weeks ago on 3.8.5.

Had been waiting for an update to come along, hoping it would fix it.

Today, was looking around and found new threads on the subject of the new API over at TMDB, and ended up here in this post.

So, to check, I cleaned my library and did a complete re-scan after removing and then re-adding my movie repository.

The movies still scrap the basic information just fine ( title, actors, genre, etc ), but the movie sets are still not being downloaded properly.

Tried to use the log uploader, but it keeps erroring out. Seems to be a python timeout error.

Here is an excerpt for 1 movie : Debug Log Excerpt

Sets are working fine here; I can't reproduce the issue.

Previous observed functionality was that, when a movie that is part of a set was added to the DB, the collection became a selectable option when looking at movie sets ( Videos -> Movies -> Sets ).

"Since version 11 "Eden", movie sets data is downloaded automatically from online scrapers when you scan movies into the library." - from WIKI

Currently, this does not function. I can manually create a set and assign movies, but the download portion does not happen.

I can ( and have ) reproduced this issue using fresh installs of both 15.1 and 15.2 into new virtual machines with only Win 10 installed ( no non OS software ).

Using a test set of all 6 Star Wars movies ( which I verified are properly registered as a collection on TMDB ), adding the file source and allowing Kodi to scrap, the Collection does not show up in the list of Sets. It also does not appear in the context menu for the movies themselves. This happens while using the internal DB, and when using an external MySQL DB as described in the WIKI.

I have further investigated, and determined that switching back to the Universal Scrapper ( 2.6.7 ) does not solve the issue either.

Looking at the tables in the mysql instance that Kodi creates, I see that :
- in the movie table, idSet is NULL
- the sets table is empty

I can then manually add the set, and check the tables. The collection shows up in the sets table, and the idSet index points to it in the movie table.

This means that, either the data is not being properly retrieved, or is not being properly inserted into the DB anymore.

Since both these information add-ons make use of TMDB.org to grab set information, and since there have been recent updates to the API over there, suggests it is a retrieval issue.

From this we can infer that it is not an interface issue, since the DB does not contain the data. It is therefore a problem with either the retrieval of the information, or applying it to the current DB.
