Ever since the TMDB changes...
#1
I have a sub folder amongst other folders in one of my video folders. The one folder gets ignored is named 'Movies'. Other folders such as '007', 'Shorts', 'Music' all get parsed. While the current TMDB issue remains, I can watch the XBMC Library Update addon run through the folders. Since the Movies folder is the biggest one by far, it is easy to tell when it is in there as well as watching the names flash by.

Why would a folder get skipped just because it is named 'Movies'? This wasn't a problem until yesterday. If I 'mv Movies Shows', it works fine, but obviously I lose all of the 'watched' triggers which can be a big hassle. Plus PLEX has to reload, and loses it's data, etc.

The scrapper just skips that folder entirely? Odd... On one system I wiped out the profile and reloaded everything with the same results. Tried this on two systems. One with a manually fixed tmdb.xml file. Both however updated their addons this morning though neither one worked yet from the fixed 'addon' for themoviedb.

Ohh, and FWIW, I can go to Videos->Files->DVDs (the parent folder) and see all of the subfolders including Movies, and go in there directly without an issue. It's just not in the Movies group.

Well, After repeated trials, I manually put on the new scrapper from: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/addons/gotham/me...-3.8.1.zip and then I had to remove the entire DVDs video link from the system, restart KODI and then re-add it. That seemed to finally get all of the files though a bit long and unnecessary workaround. It would be nice to know why it got hung up on that folder name (and that's not the first time honestly, if I had to do it over again, I would use a different name, but with currently 11 TB of information in there feeding 7 systems, it's too late to change now or people lose their watch history).

And after the initial search which didn't find a lot of movies due to the 3.8.1 bug (not fixed in 3.8.2 either it seems), it stopped looking there again... What gives with that folder name?!?

UPDATE: Looks like the scrapper still:

Code:
13:31:14 T:140189566781184   DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: Skipping dir '/media/RAID/DVDs/Movies/' due to no change (fasthash)

It won't go look for those old movies it didn't get with the 3.8.1 bug... Trying to kill all and rebuild... again...

AHH! I do not think it was the scrapper per-say... I believe 3.8.1 scrapped them but then triggered them as OK when infact they were not so 3.8.2 didn't find them again. Doing a clean purge of the library it seems to be finding the files... I'll update this poist when it's complete of not. Sucks though as we still lose the watched counts I'm guessing... Drastic for some users.

That was it, but be warry, some dates have changed on TMDB!!!! Oddly...

Try the new 3.8.2 revision. It fixed all my missing/wrongly matched movies.

Unfortunately for me only 80% of the Movies are being fixed by the 3.8.2.
Not working are e.g.
Tiger Cage 3

Legacy of Rage
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/68590-l...i-jiang-hu

Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero

have you tried putting the year at the end of the name ? (sometimes when there is a duplicate it doesn't work well.)

try something like : Legacy of Rage (1986).mkv

Yep, also not working here. These Movies had been accepted before 3.8.1. And I also can't find them, when I search "manual" Undecided
