I renamed the whole Hannibal series using uppercase, tried cleaning the library. Removed the source (mounted folder using sshfs added as regular folder in Kodi), added the source again and scanned again.

Kodi log: https://pastebin.com/xhDaHykc
File tree: https://pastebin.com/pPD7P2Aq

I need to know if I did the logging correctly.

Thanks for the logs. It has been created and posted correctly.

Can you tell me which TV Show Hannibal you are trying to scrape. A number exist there, but not sure which one you want.

English 259063, most of them seem to have this id.

While scanning for the files the show title is being displayed (alongside with the year the show began broadcast) in the top right corner so I think Kodi might acknowledge what it's looking at.

This happens on this Ubuntu install. On the Xbox One install Hannibal was picked up but Caprica was left out and so on. I will re-create the lib on the console and post feedback.

Edit: it's the same on console.

A number of problems exist...

1. Your scraper is outdated. You are using TVDB v2.0.5. We are currently on v3.0.1 The changes were due to changes at TVDB site... https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=323588

Code:
02:34:00.837 T:140570975082240 DEBUG: FindMovie: Searching for 'Hannibal' using The TVDB scraper (path: '/usr/share/kodi/addons/metadata.tvdb.com', content: 'tvshows', version: '2.0.5')

2. You have incorrectly named the Hannibal series... It should be S01E02 (no "p")

Code:
02:32:34.804 T:140571978082048 DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: Could not enumerate file /mnt/rmabox/wdredpro1/tv/Hannibal/Season 1/S01EP02.mkv

With Caprica, I also noticed the following...

Code:
02:34:06.417 T:140570975082240 DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: Could not enumerate file /mnt/rmabox/wdredpro1/tv/Caprica/Season 1/S01EP01a.mkv

The "a" in the episode numbering should not be there and may confuse the scraper. TV Shows don't support file stacking.

For a computer programmer you don't seem to be able to follow instructions very well. What part of

Code:
Hannibal/Season 3/S03E02.mkv

is so hard to follow?

No EP or ep or Ep, just SnnEnn

I think I got confused with the naming rules, I will remove the P from everything.

Regarding the version of the TVDB scraper, I can say I did a fresh install hours ago from this repository: https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archiv...ter=xenial .
I'm looking towards updating that thing.

I'm not sure about Caprica, the first episode is a pilot episode but it's split into two files. I got 19 files for 18 episodes.

Edit: Removing the "P" from every file name solved every remaining issue on both platforms tested.

If permitted, I'd say this this thing is so punishing for so little.

@nickr requirement to such little detail in a media center app is bad design in the first place, let's stop arguing about it. I appreciate your input, regardless.

Thank you very much for your time and your support.

@nickr would be the best person to comment on that site. But you should be able to just update from the Repository via Add-ons>My Add-ons>Information Providers>TV Information. Highlight The TVDB, call up the Information Page and select Update. If that does not work, then you will need to update the Repository from the Left Sideblade menu first.. http://kodi.wiki/view/Home_screen_and_ba...blade_Menu

Both the Aired Order... https://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=season&seri...2071&lid=7
and DVD Order... https://www.thetvdb.com/index.php?lid=7&...&order=dvd
show only 18 episodes. Even the copy I have here on my machine (because it is such a great show) is only 18 episodes. Maybe you have a duplicate episode?

nickr · 2017-12-30, 04:07

The installed package may still have an outdated scraper on board, and should update after a while (and should be forced if you restart Kodi (including a reboot of the machine).

If not you can try and force an upgrade of the scraper addon.

As for split episodes, often pilots are broadcast as a double length episode, like a mini movie, but get captured as two episodes. Thetvdb will show it as one episode, the "scene" will have it as two. Or sometimes vice versa.

The numbering S01E01a.mkv and S01E01b.mkv should work according to http://kodi.wiki/view/Naming_video_files...it-episode but what I would do is join 1a and 1b together with mkvmerge and get rid of the problem that way.

nickr · 2017-12-30, 04:17

PS yes it is punishing to start with, but now I have every episode I had before Kodi properly named, I just don't allow anything on to my system that hasn't been, so it gets easier.

Filebot is a great renaming tool, FWIW my renaming template for tv series is /mnt/videos5/tv/{n}/Season {s}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t}

which produces a result like:

/mnt/videos5/tv/Firefly/Season 1/Firefly - S01E01 - Serenity.mkv

Some of that is strictly unnecessary, but if something accidentally gets copied to the wrong place, it is immediately recognisable.

Thanks @nickr. Don't know why I thought it wasn't supported.

You actually posted the "file tree" pastebin, and then mention that only Westworld is being scraped properly. Can you yourself not see the difference between Westworld (proper naming) and the others that are not proper? LOOK AT YOUR OWN EXAMPLES
