Bug Kodi Limitations for large TV Schows?
#1
Some popular TV Shows go beyond 20 seasons and >1000 episodes. Having every part of my beloved "Two Pieces" perfectly prepared with TMM (nfo´s, Show- Season- and Episode-Artworks), Kodi still seems to be unable to import the Show completely. After importing and updating the Video Library only 14 out of 21 seasons are displayed.

When updating the individual show, it takes a bit less than 15 minutes for the status bar to reach a bit above 50%, then a "No information found" message pops up and the update stops.

Is there anything in Kodi that limits the import of large TV Shows??

There are no limits for tv shows and episode count.
Try using the Local Information Only scraper if using nfo files.

Provide a Debug Log that captures the problem and we might see what the problem is.

Thank you Karellen!
Scraper Option "local nfo only" is already activated.

But it seems like i am too stupid to provide a debug log:-( When i:
- Open the kodi.log
- strg+c the kodi.log
- go to http://paste.kodi.tv/
- hit the "New" Button
- strg+v the kodi log
- hit the "Safe" Button

then i just see a "something went wrong message"

What am i doing wrong??

Means the log is too big.
You should be able to post about 15,000 to 20,000 lines. Anything bigger and you need to split it into two or more pastes.

You must have provided the wrong log. There is no scraping in there. In fact, your log is less than 1 second long.

....sorry, that must have been the session from after the scraping when i started Kodi to swith off the logging!

Here comes the new one:

Line 1-10.000

Line 10.001-20.000

https://paste.kodi.tv/evucovorag.kodi

Line 50.001 -54.428
https://paste.kodi.tv/iqedafapug.kodi

Actions executed for this log:
Start Kodi
go to the show
right click/context menue/search for new content -> nothing found
right click/context menue/ information -> Uppdate -> refresh content for all episodes
import starts, takes about ten minutes to reach 54%, the a message "no information found" pops up
Hit ok and exit Kodi

Bottomline only 14 from the 21 seasons and around 600 episodes out of 1000+ are deisplayed

Could you open your tvshow.nfo file for One Piece (1999) and delete the <episodeguide> tag that contains this... {"tmdb":"37854","tvrage":"8205","imdb":"tt0388629","tvdb":"81797"}

Try scraping again. What happens?

Sorry for the late reply!

Same result, even after deleting the complete Line.

I get the impression that Kodi is in general a bit ignorant when importing nfo´s created by TMM. When going through my library i found other issues as well:
- TV Shows are displayed as empty by Kodi (zero seasons, zero episodes) even if serveral seasons with several episodes are detected by TMM and nfo´s created accordingly
- Episoes from 2 seasons are thrown together by Kodi in one season with doubled entries for each episode.

Checking the nfo´s from the 2 examples above the season and episode info seems to be complete and accurate. Therefore the problem is not within TMM. There must be some kind of problem when Kodi imports the informations from the nfo´s into his own library.

Can you provide a Debug Log from that scan?
It should have worked without that episodguide tag. There is a setting in TMM to disable it.

I am wondering if you have tried to scan this show so many times that Kodi just gives up.
Can you rename that show to One Piece, ensure that tag is deleted and try scanning again.
Make sure you have debug mode active so you can provide the log if it still doesn't work.

...

This is now the log from the scraping of the show that was originally imported empty (zero seasons, zero episodes). After removing the "Episodeguide" Line, this works better. But still the show is not imported completely. After a few minutes of scraping/importing the process breaks down with a error message saying "no information found".

I even went over the whole show with TMM´s internal "Renaming" Function, to make sure that on top to the nfo files the nomanclature of the media files ist correct and consistent.
