I'm running a RockPi 4 with OpenELEC 8.90.014 and Kodi is at version 18.1. I recently updated my library with new files (running off an external drive) - new TV show content updated fine but about half of the movies weren't added. They were all processed with FileBot before hand which usually does it so it was a bit odd.

Rescanning did nothing and I tried to scrape the files manually using "scan to library". When I do this Kodi asks me for the name to scan and then says "Locally found information found. Ignore and refresh from internet?" (there are no .nfo files for these so this is an error). Whether I select yes or no it just asks for the name over and over again and never scrapes. Rescanning or going to "update library" also doesn't work.

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

OpenELEC is a dead fork which has not been maintained in over 2 years. We provide no support here for it any longer. Scraping and Movie Sets are known to be broken in OpenELEC, amongst other functions.

Please update to LibreELEC.

See if you have this setting and disable it:  Kodi settings/Media/Videos/Use video tags.

I had a bit of a brain fart, it is LibreELEC I'm using, not OpenELEC. Was so focused on getting the version numbers I missed that howler!

Sadly it's already off, so it's presumably not causing the problem. Worth checking though!

I think you have an old scraper version, so update your scraper... https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2885417

If that is not the problem then we will need a debug log which captures you scraping these shows.

Didn't look like the version number updated but it seemed to sort it - thanks! Absolute lifesaver.

If you don't mind a little followup I noticed a few older files that also missed being scraped - one of these is split (i.e. [FILM NAME].cd1.[extension])) and when I manually scrape them it recognises it as two identical films.

Not the end of the world but the automatic scraper tends to figure out when two files are one movie. Is there any way of manually combining them into one entry on Kodi? No worries if not, you've already helped loads!

No. If the movies are correctly named Kodi will find and combine them. But v18 has a bug with split video files and it is broken for ISOs, Bluray and DVD folders. Still works with single file like mkv, mp4 etc

Otherwise I suggest combining them using MKVToolNix... https://mkvtoolnix.download/

Fair does - good there's an easy tool for that. I'll do that. And thanks again!
