Hi,
Could someone please help me with this problem :
I've uploaded new artwork on themoviedb.org for a specific movie which is in my Kodi library.
In Kodi (matrix), when I try to update the movie information, the scraper does not find the newly uploaded artwork.
The problem remains after removing the movie from the library and adding it again.
If I use TheMovieDB scraper instead of the Python version of it, everything works fine : the newly uploaded artwork is immedialtely found.
So there seems to be a specific problem with TheMovie DB Python scraper which does not refresh the artwork list.
Anyone knows what I shoud do ? ...

and the problem is not only with the artwork :
the modifications made to the plot on themoviedb.org are not updated by the scraper...

We need the link to the movie and a Debug Log which captures you scraping the movie.

Thanks for your reply.

Here is the log file :
https://paste.kodi.tv/rilijugoca.kodi

Just before recording the log, I've uploaded new artwork to https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/62978-la-salamandre,
but when pressing the Refresh button on the movie information window, the scraper does not find this newly added artwork (see captures).

Sorry, I lost track of you. Are you still experiencing the problem?

I will have more details later , but there is a major bug in this scraper . at least for movies.

Its filling in the IMDB id  with the TMDB id . 

If i switch to the Non python version , it properly fills in the IMDB id with a IMDB id 

Tested on Kodi 19 .

Hey @Karellen , any update with how you're going looking into the collections scraping issue? I've noticed that some collections it can find on either fan art or TMDB and others it just doesn't. 

Let me know if you want a full log. But yeah essentially the scraper seems to be having issues

Sorry I haven't done anything. I'll have to read back to your posts to remember what the issue is.

In the meantime can you provide the link for a few movie sets you are having issues with. Also a Debug Log that captures you scraping these sets. The links give me somewhere to start by trying to replicate the issue, the log tells me about your setup, versions etc and might even show the cause of the problem you are having.

Thanks mate. I ran 2 tests. 1 with canary.tv images disabled but TMDB images enabled and a 2nd test with fanart.tv also enabled (I also did it on a smaller sample size for log reasons). 

TMDB only scrape pulled no collection images from TMDB at all. Log is here - https://paste.kodi.tv/boquninida.kodi

Just to spite me, fanart.tv scrape worked for the first time in weeks. That being said, it didn't find the collection for Land Before Time (because it didn't exist on the site) and it didn't fall back to TMDB (or the fallback failed). Log is here - https://paste.kodi.tv/obojamujap.kodi

https://fanart.tv/?sect=all&s=land+befor...collection
https://www.themoviedb.org/collection/19163

Although I've had a closer look and now run a scrape on my full movie library. It looks like fanart.tv scraping is working fine. However there are so many collections that don't exist in their database, or do exist but only have banner images and no posters, or it does have posters but none of them are EN or no language, which is why I'm seeing so many 'no collections arts' in my library. TMDB looks like it's the superior database as it has the images for every collection I have. That being said, the scraper isn't working with scraping TMDB for collection art at all (not as a primary or fallback). Could this please be looked into as I'd rather just use TMDB and disable fanart.tv

Sorry, lost track of you. Deleted all my pings by mistake.

I read back our posts and saw that @rmrector was going to check the scraper to see why it is not working. I guess he is busy as I have not seen him around since his post. I have just pinged him again as a reminder.

How about using local artwork? Download the images you want and place them in the movie set information folder... https://kodi.wiki/view/Movie_set_information_folder

No worries - appreciate you're probably trying to keep track of heaps of requests. 

I did think about local artwork, but I do like to change it sometimes and its nice just to be able to go into the item/collection menu, browse through and change. I was hoping to avoid doing manually (future proofing etc). Also I have my database on my NAS which family access remotely, so then would need to do the same for them (or teach them how to do it which well, lets say they're not tech savvy). So was hoping on TMDB collection and art scraping working properly

Hi,
I just reinstall my full movie library with Kodi 19 after a pc failure and i hit an issue with Movie Set poster.

Before i was using Kodi 19 RC1 and movie set were fine. With the latest release and TMDB Python with the language "French" the scraper doesnt download poster for movie set or download a few but in "English" title.

Example :
I scrape the movie Fantastic Beasts (aka in french TMDB Les Animaux Fantastiques) 1 & 2 resulting in a Movie Set but i dont get any posters in the language asked ("fr")
The Movie Set on TMDB do have poster in french language.

I create a log file with the whole library being scraped for the first time but it's too big for paste.kodi.tv (Here my Google Drive link )

Please be kind with my english. I do my best !
Thank you !

@Kavehel

I have removed your duplicate thread. I think this is the same issue experienced by @panny

We need the scraper developer @rmrector to look into it as the scraper is ignoring TMDB artwork for movie sets.

Hi,

Okay no problem i thought that i had posted in the wrong area.
For now, i downloaded artwork manually and placed it in the MSIF.

Thank you !



Thank you.

It looks like rmrector has coded a fix for the artwork issue... https://github.com/xbmc/metadata.themovi...on/pull/76

Maybe a day or two before it gets merged and pushed out to your setup. Let us know if the fix works.
