Ok thanks for the information. The reason I asked is because when I do add everything to kodi's library it always ignores the <movie name>-poster and <movie-name>-fanart file and downloads a fanart.jpg and poster.jpg on its own, one I did not specify unless I manually change the name beforehand.

No, Kodi never downloads something to movie or tv show folders. If you scrape with Kodi, all informations and images will only be saved in database and cache. Kodi create files only if you export the database manually. The only thing that saves images to movie folders is the addon ArtworkDownloader. And the addon use these crappy file names...

Hello DanCooper,

Thanks for your reply. I think I may have over-simplified my answer.

I see 4 typical scenarios to save a movie...

1. Bluray structure preserved- this uses basic imagetype.jpg
2. DVD structure preserved- this uses basic imagetype.jpg
3. Single movie in single directory- this uses the <VideoFileName>-imagetype.ext
4. All movies in single directory- this uses the <VideoFileName>-imagetype.ext

Is this your understanding? Your suggestion of Import/Export results is how I tested the above, and then created the Artwork wiki pages.

Apologies for hijacking your thread

Absolutely correct

Don't forget that the VideoFileName has to be stacked, that means:
avatar.cd1.mkv
avatar.cd1.mkv
avatar-poster.jpg

This case does not work in Ember and will only be supported in Ember 2.0, but Kodi use it already:
avatar.cd1.bluray.xyz.mkv
avatar.cd2.bluray.xyz.mkv
avatar.bluray.xyz-poster.jpg

I will try to edit my Excel sheet to also add .actors, extrathumbs, extrafanarts and all other missing file names like NFO. You cant get the XLS here if you want: Link

Thanks DanCooper.

I like the spreadsheet. It is a shame I didn't see that about a month ago. It would have saved me more than a few hours of testing trying to get the correct naming conventions so I could create the wiki pages.

Have you seen the new artwork pages on the wiki? Music Videos is still a work in progress. The other pages are essentially complete, though I do want to add references for Animated Artwork when I get a chance.

Hey guys,
Running this on my laptop, 13" - 3200 x 1800. Something wrong on the 'series' screen though, I cant actually see the series list, only the episode list and there is no way to resize the various areas?

I understand now why I couldnt see the resize cursor (other than it being small). You cannot resize the list during a scrape and this is why I wasnt able to do it before.

On a new note, I am having some issues with EMM not renaming some files in a series and I dont know why. eg: I am running EMM on a folder that only contains Cheers (11 Seasons).
Its done about 98% of it without issue, but some series arent getting renamed. I've tried rescraping the whole series, removing and readding the source, cleaning database, cleaning caches, renaming the file manually and trying all of the above again. File isnt read only and permissions are fine.
Is there some log I can check as to why the rename isnt working? Using the Bulk Renamer also doesnt work, no error or anything.

Hi,

I opened an issue on trakt add-on github page: Trakt error syncing TV Show (force quit Kodi) #387

And I asked help from kodi team in this thread.

Since the bug is related to NFO created by last EMM commit build, maybe someone here can help to investigate the bug source.

Edit: bug identified. See issue link above.

I have one episode for Black Mirror TV Show for EMM (with TVDB scraper) fails to retrieve id and other info. Image scrappers succeed to retrieve the thumb (poster).

Here is the log, just the interesting part.

Here is the ep.

Here is my structured folder for the show:

Code:

Black Mirror
  S01
  S02
  S03
  Black Mirror S00E01 Special White Christmas.mkv

This is the only issue for all my TV Show that some have special episodes too.

I tried to add

Code:

<episodedetails>
  <id>5057304</id>
  <imdb>tt3973198</imdb>
  <uniqueid type="tvdb" default="true">5057304</uniqueid>
  <uniqueid type="imdb" default="false">tt3973198</uniqueid>
  ...

to the ep. nfo. I reload it in EMM and perform a auto scrape for it to no avail. No new info were added.

Edit: We need a way to check which episode have a missing tvdb id. I didn't find the trick in EMM. I just found out this missing item investigating my kodi db at MyVideos107.db→episode_view→uniqueid_value

Disable IMDB scraper and scrape the episode again(you can re-enable when finished) or right click on the episode and click Change Episode and pick from the list. There is a conflict because IMDB lists the special as episode 4 so i think Ember gets confused or something

IMDB Enabled

IMDB Disabled

Again, my bad. The issue was the episode ordering for the show was DVD instead of standard.

Thanks

[fred_gaou]

So there is way to filter/find episode that miss tvdb id?

Mark one episode.
Scrape TV shows→Marked→Automatic force best match→All items. Nothing happens. Scrape process doesn't run.

No, not seen. Can you post a link? But the Kodi Wiki is still offline, or?

First, "Marked" means not selected extries. "Marked" means CTRL+M (tv show line coloring will be changed to red).
Also "Scrape TV shows" considered only tv shows, not season or episode entries. ATM you only can rescrape episodes via context menu or if you rescrape the whole tv show.

[DanCooper]

So there is way to filter/find episode that miss tvdb id?

No. The reason for missing the episode filters is that we don't have a list that can show all episodes. So it do not make sense to add episode and season filters.
I hope I can change that for Ember 2.0 and find another solution than the 3 separate lists for tv shows, seasons and episodes.

.....

For these and many other reasons, I am thinking about reducing the IMDB scraper for tv show so far that only the episode ratings and full tv show can be scrapped. But I can hear the whine already now ...
