Why does Kodi Persistantly Pull Media Data From The Internet?
#1
Hello,

I use Tiny Media Manager for all my media nfo and images.

Yet for over 2 years now I have seen an issue where I load all the data, confirm all my imagery, load the data into Kodi and scan it in with Use Local Information Only and when I browse the library I will find that Kodi is pulling images from the internet. It's obvious too, because the images will have Russian language titles on them.

Why is this happening, and how do I stop it.

TIA,

DigDig

I think maybe I have found the answer. I have changed the settings for the tmdb scraper under the add-on and unchecked everything. I've also blocked themoviedatabase.org in my firewall.

It's kind of ridiculous though, IMHO if I set the library to use local information only that should be a system wide setting that disables the scraper from ever using internet resources for art and info on those library items.

I meant that I blocked themoviedb.org in my firewall.

Also why can't I edit my post on this forum?

Because, as per your current forum user title, you are a new forum user, and certain anti-spam measures are active.
These measures will vanish over time.

Then there is something wrong with your local images.
