Forgive me if this has been asked before but I can't seem to find an answer using the search feature.
I recently switched from Plex to Kodi 18.2 and I've added my full-length movies as one source and my short films as a separate source, both identified as "Movies" (it dumps them all in the same library in the main menu but I can live with that). Some of the movies were not found when I did a "Scan for new content" search. using the Universal Movie Scraper. When I went into the "Shorts" source and pressed "i" on my keyboard, it popped up the "Manual Search" option, allowing me to go onto IMDB and grab the "tt" code. However, it doesn't allow me to do the same for my full-length movies. All I get is a message saying "No information found". I have even tried changing the Information Provider for the individual title to The Movie Database and, while it worked for a handful of the titles (like maybe 5 out of about 30), the rest come back with the same "No information found" message.
What I find odd is that it isn't like these are obscure titles - "2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)", "A Good Day to Die Hard (2013)", "Brokedown Palace (1999)", "Cocoon (1985)" and "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 (2015)" are just some of the titles I'm having difficulty with; in fact, my short films are more obscure because I have a lot of art cinema stuff in there - and other titles in the same sets as these I have mentioned - "Cocoon: The Return (1998)" and all the other Fast & Furious films - are scaping without a hassle. Besides, I am able to find the problem titles on IMDB but Kodi flat-out refuses to give me the option of identifying them manually with the "tt" code.
I have tried reinstalling Kodi 3 times on this machine as well as installing Kodi on a different machine and I keep having the same trouble.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as I really don't want to have to go back to Plex.
