Hello,
I usually use Tvdbv4 scraper on my TV series. But for one specific serie (millénium mini-serie) there is no answer in Tvdb database. I asked the tvdb site in order to create the serie, but they refused arguing that this serie is a "reshot" of 3 films (in fact it's the opposite).
Anyway Tmdb seems not to have the same problem  : https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/80855-millenium

Using the kodi UI i know i can change the scraper for a specific folder (it works). But when i rescan my library i have to manually make the same changes each time. I want to know if there is way using nfo files to automatically give the same information (to switch the scraper for this folder).

using the export library feature i can get the "tvshow" and "episode" listing but maybe there is a better way to do that using the path tag of the videodb tag.
For the specific directory at the end of the export, i have among other paths, the specific configuration :
        <path>
            <url>...</url>
            <scanrecursive>0</scanrecursive>
            <usefoldernames>true</usefoldernames>
            <content>tvshows</content>
            <scraperpath>metadata.tvshows.themoviedb.org.python</scraperpath>
        </path>
    </paths>
</videodb>

Is there anyway to store this specific information in a permanent way (nfo) ? I saw only tvshow,movie, audio etc ... nfo. nothing about a "videodb" nfo file. Does it exists anyway ?

Thanks

No, there is not.
While you can save the scraped information for each tv series in nfo files, there is no way to save which scraper should be used.

I suggest that once you have your library set up as you want it, you make a regular practice of exporting to separate files. This way you no longer have to rely on the provider sites and scrapers when rebuilding your library, and it also means you can change the data to suit you.
Remember to also use Artwork Dump to download the original artwork, rather than using Kodi to export the modified cache artwork.

ok thanks for the quick and clear answer even negative.
I will export the library so to make the full nfo for this serie.
For other series, i prefer only use parsing nfo. So i rely on scrapers, but not to much ^^

Thanks for the assit !

I asked myself if there is such ability using the tmdb tv show scrapper (official kodi). It seems to be able to scrap even imdb:

Any to make a "imdb/xxx" thing using nfo ?

Thankfully.

It seems to be able to scrap even imdb:

TMDB does not scrape IMDB.
TMDB, TVDB and TVMaze all have provision to record IMDB ID's as you can see in the image, along with the ID's from other sites.
It is just another search parameter.

Any to make a "imdb/xxx" thing using nfo ?

Sorry I am not really sure what you are asking here.
You can put an IMDB link in a Parsing NFO, but that will only work if the IMDB ID is recorded at TMDB. Most movies have the IMDB ID recorded, so you should be pretty safe to use it.

yes that what i finished to understand. Thanks
