When I am viewing a a movie by default it has 'Play', 'Choose Art', and 'Refresh' options only ('Cast' is greyed out). But when I click refresh and have it refresh from Internet, it loads in way more information such as the IMDB ratings, Trailer, Cast, Fanart, and Artwork. Is there a way to force refresh for all movies?

Makes me wonder how you first scraped your movies.

I have already clear all my movies and then readd them using the Universal Movie Scraper. I am still not getting Cast, Trailer, or updated Rating information. Am I supposed to after using Universal Movie Scraper?

You would be better off using TheMovieDB scraper. If you are using v17 of Kodi, then it should be version 5.1.4 for the scraper.

Go to your Source, bring up the Context Menu, select Change Content then change the scraper there. Check the Settings and make sure whatever you need is enabled.

You need to do that for all your movie sources.

If it still does not work, then provide a Debug Log uploaded to the Kodi Paste Site

Okay I think I found out the problem I was having. When the movie folder had a .nfo file in it, the scraper would skip downloading the trailer and other information. I made a script to delete (well rename) all my nfo files. I am going through the Universal Movie Scraper to get all the info and it looks to be working.

Is there anyway to have the scraper ignore nfo files?

No. Local Artwork, Trailers and NFO Files always have priority.

If you don't want that, then delete them.
