650+ movies transferred from my old KDLinks HD720 to my new KDLinks A400.  Wowee!  Super cool! 

I have two movies that I simply can't get to scrape correctly, though.  I need some help figuring out the steps I need to correct this.

@DarrenDriven

You have named the movie Get a Horse Disney Short 2013 (3D).mkv, but the movie should be named Get a Horse! (2013) . You are not using movie folders so there is nowhere for Kodi to find the correct name.

If that does not fix it, then provide another log. The log you provided above you enabled debug mode at the end of the log, so it is of no use.

Oops!  Newb mistake.

I think I pasted that one because it showed info for the Beastie Boys video.  This one doesn't show Fight For Your Right Revisited in it, but it shows the other one.

I actually had already renamed it... but it still wasn't liking it.  I tired the year in parenthesis and without, same result each time.

[whysoserious]

It works for me when named "Get A Horse (2013)" without the exclamation point.

Hmmm... I renamed it that and I still get the wrong match.  I'm seeing a pattern here.  I can't pull up either of these results on IMDB's search bar, even though they both exist as items on the site.  Hmmmm.

Ok, so you are using Universal Movie Scraper, not the default TheMovieDB scraper.

Agree that neither of those movies scrape.

If you go to your Source, and select Change Content from the context menu, then go into the Scraper Settings pages for Universal Movie Scraper. Scroll down to Search in the left column. You will see the setting Include All Movie Categories. Enable this and your shorts will be scraped. The trouble is that this setting filters out everything except movies. Enabling this will now increase the time of the scrape and you will be prone to lots of false positives. Remember there are millions of entries at IMDB.

The alternative is to directly enter the tt0123456 number in the search box. If the wrong movie is scraped, Refresh the movie and when you see this screen add the IMDB ttxxxxxx number. That page will come up automatically, or you might have to select the Manual button if that is offered. This works with the Universal Movie Scraper only.

Get a Horse! (2013)

I actually tried to add that movie "Get A Horse!" to see if I could offer any help, by just renaming a text file to the "movie.name.year.mkv" within a folder and I just can't seem to add it using TMDB or UMS. Sorry.

[Karellen]

Thanks @shedrock

Once I enabled that setting in UMS it scraped for me. Both those "movies" are actually classified as Shorts at IMDB, so UMS cannot see them unless that setting is enabled.

YOU ROCK! Changing the setting to Include All Movie Categories did the trick!  I learned a lot about how this works as I fixed this.  Thanks!

I remember the first moment I started using Kodi I was checking out settings and add-ons and made the change from the default scraper to TheMovieDB scraper.  (sigh)  I had no idea what I was doing.

Thread marked solved.

UMS is a great scraper that has moree features than the default scraper. But there are also pitfalls with it.

It is the only scraper that can scrape Extended Artwork for movies otherwise you will need to use local artwork or Artwork Beef.... https://kodi.wiki/view/Movie_artwork
