I've got some episodes that aren't showing up when I do a scan. Strangely Kodi's scraper thinks they're directories?

Yesterday while trying to diagnose this I read the sticky thread about v2.0 ( https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=323588 ). I had it rescan my entire library by switching away from TheTVDB, then back. Both times it did a clean library as part of the scan. To make things more complicated, it does find other episodes, so it's not just new episodes it can't find. It's specifically these.

And they aren't directories:

Here's the directory:

/media/nfs/xbmc-mount/tv shows/Atlanta (2016)/Season 2

Kodi 17.6 on Fedora 64-bit. (Compiled Nov 18 2017).

Here's a pastbin of a log after doing a fresh start: https://pastebin.com/VsyUwipr

@djotaku

A couple of things wrong with your debug log...

1. Debug Log is not enabled. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging,
2. Nearly your entire log is the following error. Can you disable MythTV while we sort out your scraping problems

cpp:
18:21:56.836 T:140291482842880   ERROR: AddOnLog: MythTV PVR Client: (CPPMyth)WSResponse: bad request (404)

18:21:56.836 T:140291482842880   ERROR: AddOnLog: MythTV PVR Client: (CPPMyth)GetRecordingArtwork1_32: invalid response

18:21:56.837 T:140291482842880   ERROR: AddOnLog: MythTV PVR Client: Process: Failed to read file: type: 2, local: /home/ermesa/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/pvr.mythtv/cache/coverart/1222_1515042000_07a

3. There was no sign of you trying to scrape anything, so there was no problem to see.

Remove one of your problem TV Shows from the library, then once you have enabled debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging, restart Kodi then replicate the problem. In your case, scrape one of your problem TV Shows. Once done upload to https://pastebin.com/ or https://paste.ubuntu.com/ and link back here. Note: Full logs only. No partial or redacted logs

Also have you checked that the following path is correct and exists exactly as shown...

cpp:
Process directory '/media/nfs/xbmc-mount/tv shows/Archer 2009/Season 0/S00E04 Heart Of Archness Part 1.avi/' does not exist - skipping scan.

OK, here you go:

https://pastebin.com/2Bsr5RNC

It still thinks that file is a directory. (search on Atlanta). I also did touch file in that directory to see if it would see a change to season 2, but still nothing.

[Karellen]

Ok, thanks.

I can see quite a few problems with the way you have setup your Sources. These pop out...

Is this a movie or is this part of some software you have installed?

xml:
VideoInfoScanner: No (new) information was found in dir /media/nfs/xbmc-mount/movies/Live Action/azizansari-dangerouslydelicious-hd/Aziz-Random-Bonus-Stuff/Make Your Own DVD Cover/Assets/

Then you have the following which seems to be DVD Extras which Kodi then goes on to scan randomly named files.

xml:
VideoInfoScanner: Scanning dir '/media/nfs/xbmc-mount/Disney_extras/' as not in the database

You should look into this... https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Extras
or this which is being integrated into a lot of skins... https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Special_Features

It is best if you read the Video setup guide to ensure your sources are correct... https://kodi.wiki/view/Naming_video_files

But, for your original question, I cannot find the TV Show Atlanta (2016). Can you please post the link to it. I assume you are using TVDB scraper.. https://www.thetvdb.com/

 Did you mean on TVDB? If so: https://www.thetvdb.com/series/atlanta

I don't know if something changed when they changed their API, but back before the API/website changed, using the year for a TV show was a good thing to make sure it was grabbing the right show. Have things changed now?

[djotaku]

I think I answered my own question by going to the wiki link you referenced. Apparently the year isn't the thing to have anymore. I'll change that and report if it fixes things.

[djotaku]

OK, it appears to be working now. I changed the folder name for the series from Atlanta (2016) to Atlanta. IRONICALLY when I went to refresh the show it had me pick Atlanta (2016) from all the Atlanta shows it pulled from The TV DB. That said it appears to be fine now. I thank you for your help, I didn't realize that along with the new website everyone's got now (you guys, retroarch, OBS, the tvdb) they changed their policy on naming for shows. (Or tightened it up?) I've been using Kodi since XBMC and haven't had issues until now.

One more thing - I don't use the kodi forums too often, is there a way to mark this as solved?

[Karellen]

Glad you got it working.

The TVDB changed their website two days ago, but there is no change in the Naming Conventions. I found that show. I am still getting used to the new format of their website, and was looking at the wrong column. Ideally it should just be named Atlanta

Yep, if you do a Full Edit on your first post you can change the prefix to Solved. You can do that next time, I can easily mark it solved with a button click.

Yes, the scraper offers the year for disambiguation.

Thread marked solved.
