I just bought an Nvidia Shield that I want to use with Kodi to display my movies/tv shows that I have stored on a NAS (running FreeNAS).
I installed the Kodi app, I went to files and browsed for the Windows SMB shares. Kodi located all of my movies, and I selected the movie database scraper. It then scanned. After, I go into the movies section and only 1 random movie shows.
How can I view all of my movies via NAS using Kodi?

Watching one movie a night should be enough anyway ;-)
At which location did you set the content of movies in your folder structure?
Also, including a kodi.log file would help to see what else happens.

Try adding the year to the movie file name as well

Thank you.
The source shows smb://<NAS Name>/Media/Movies/
I will try your suggestion of naming the folder and the media file exactly the same. The weird thing is that the single movie that did seem to scrape correctly is Media\movies\Contact (1997)\Contact [720p].avi so it is not matching.
Edit: Here is something interesting. I tried completely uninstalling the Kodi app and restarting from scratch. I don't know if it did this last time, but this time I got an error while scanning. "Could not download information. Unable to connect to remote server, would you like to continue scanning?"

Ugh, that was the issue. I must have told it to stop scanning when that popped up last night. Sorry for wasting your time guys.
This time, that error popped up quiet a few times, but I just kept telling it to continue scanning until it finished. It now appears to be working normally.
