Hello all,
I'm suddenly having an issue updating my movie library since the 19.1 update. I have two Kodi installations that are configured the same (AFAIK). One is on my Windows 10 computer, one is on my Nvidia Shield TV Pro. The Sheild TV Kodi is mapped to the same movie folder as on my Windows PC via SMB. Both are configured to use the Universal Movie Scraper. The Windows-installed Kodi seems to have no trouble adding movies to my library. The Shield installed Kodi is having trouble adding movies, despite the fact that they are the same movies and same files as on the computer.
I noticed it when I was trying to add "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" to Shield Kodi. The movie scanned to my library with no issue on the Windows Kodi but refused to scan on the Shield Kodi. I can see the movie in the file folder and when I manually try to "scan to library" , it always comes back with "no information found". I'm perplexed, because its the same file and file name as on my computer. The Shield Kodi refuses to add it to the library but the Windows Kodi adds it right away.
I have tried updating all the scraper add-ons, including the Universal Scraper, Movie Database (and Python) and Film web. I've tried scraping with each movie scraper and none of them seem to add this movie. I tied adjusting the settings for the scrapers as well with no luck.
During my troubleshooting, I accidentally rescanned my entire library. During this re-scan many of my movies that were originally in my library were now missing. These movies were previously scanned into my library using the Universal scraper but now they are not being added. Some of these movies include The Conjuring, Annihilation, Annabelle Comes Home, Ford vs Ferrari, and others.
I'm not sure what I am missing. All these movies add to the Windows Kodi with no issue but the Shield Kodi is hit-or-miss. I have tried to force-stop the Shield Kodi and also cleared the cache but it didn't help.
Any ideas?
