How do I choose what scraper is used with a specific TV Shows?
#1
I've had almost no issue with the default scrapers pulling correct information, however, I'm running into an issue with a new addition to my collection and that is Archer (2009) Season 3. Season 3 is officially 13 episodes long but Kodi scrapes it as 10 episodes. The first episode of season 3, in my collection, is named "Archer - 3x01 - Heart of Archness Part I". However, in Kodi it labels it "01. The Man From Jupiter", which is technically episode 4. However, playing that first selection plays "Heart of Archness Part 1". The entire season is off by 3 episodes. I'm guessing this is a scraper issue as some scraper db's have Season 3 listed incorrectly. How can I select this episode to pull metadata from another scraper?

Yes, I can see that the TVDB listing is a bit messed up. But it is sort of right. That is according to your explanation.

If you view the Aired order, it shows 4 Specials followed by 10 episodes... http://thetvdb.com/?tab=season&seriesid=...5786&lid=7

If you vies the DVD order, it shows the 13 episodes, but the first three episodes are missing (they are the specials) and they have thrown an extra episode in... http://thetvdb.com/index.php?lid=7&seaso...&order=dvd

If you set your scraper setting to DVD Order, you will get almost what you want, as long as you have the "Specials" named correctly. Then decide what to do with that extra Special.

Or you could create nfo files and organise them as you please.

Sure... only because I know you will thank me Wink

nfo files... http://kodi.wiki/view/Nfo

You can create them manually, but can be quite intensive, or you could use a Media Manager. There are two on this site...
