Details Heavy Post Warning :p
Hi, I'm trying to add my anime collection to Kodi. For this I'm using the latest build of everything (installed Kodi ~2days ago).
The extra add-ons I've installed are:
- Google Drive (to add files that are present on my Drive)
- TVDB Scraper
- Binge (custom theme)
- Plex
And I'm (probably) on the latest version of Kodi (v18.7 - according to '
System Info > Summary').
Just for reference, here's how any basic anime folder is organized:
https://pastebin.com/raw/A1XzwHCU
For anime having multiple seasons, the root folder has the same naming as above example (minus the season number), inside it there's a separate directory for each season, the name of each season directory being exactly the same as the 'Akame ga Kill' example above (and any movies dumped directly in root along with the seasons).
The
only difference between the rest of my collection and the example above (Akame ga Kill), is that this example contains release-year (in the main anime directory) - the rest of the directories
do not contain the release year in their name (or anywhere for that matter).
Despite doing this, TVDB scraper refuses to scrape 'Akame ga Kill', and quite a lot of other anime entries. In another instance there's an anime named 'Karneval', the scraper indexes it as 'Carnival Row' (a TV Series instead of anime). In both these cases, ('Akame ga Kill' and 'Karneval'), TVDB
does contain an entry for the anime.
In case of 'Akame ga Kill', the anime isn't indexed (
at all, not even as an incorrect entry). As for 'Karneval', it is displayed as 'Carvinal Row' - which is incorrect.
Here's a complete log that I generated while indexing all my collection (for the third time - from scratch):

Here's a
drive link for the same file (the file was quite heavy ~6 MB, so most paste services rejected it, leading to me having to use a shady service)
This is the
Reddit Tutorial that I used to setup Kodi with Google Drive. Basically, I used to Google Drive add-on to generate the `.strm` files, and then add them to the index and refresh manually to get the scraper to fetch the new entries.
Like I've already said, this method is working with some portion of my collection (~60%), and I've got no idea why it isn't working with the rest. Like
skipping Akame ga Kill (and a handful of other entries) completely, displaying 'Karneval' as 'Carnival Row' (even after adding the release year to the main directory in
both these cases).
Any help will be deeply appreciated. I've already spent nearly a day trying to figure this out
