Hi everyone,
Within Kodi, I have 6 differrent movie sources, all set to use TMDB to scrape info. Works perfectly 99.99% of the time.
Once in a while though, Kodi doesn't find a movie, but the problem is on TMDB's side as they mask by default "adult content" ( I am not talking porn here, just movies that are rated R)
On the TMDB website, the workaround is being logged in and flipping off the adult items filter. Unless I'm mistaken, I can't do that within Kodi.

In the past, I am sure I was able to change a specific movie's default scraper by either editing source or changing content. I only get those options when I look at an entire directory (source), not a specific movie (in both library and videos). So where before I had a source containing a thousand movie, 999 were scraped by TMDB by default, but I could specifically have IMDB to scrape the adult movie censored by TMDB.

Did I dream this feature, was it removed or changed, anyone has a clue?

Cool idea... if you find it please clue me in...

Iirc there is or was an option to allow adult content from tmdb. It's certainly an option from the API to return this content. You might need to adjust the scraper for this.

I am 99% sure I could cherry pick the scraper (Universal for instance) for a specific stubborn movie within a tmdb-scraped directory before switching to Jarvis.

Martijn, I had already looked in vain at the scraper settings. I have no idea what's an API though...

What kind of R rated movies? My R rated movies still seem to be scraping for me with no special settings.

OK, I found it
In my case, the actual movie was not found (because censored by tmdb), so Kodi kept finding a wrong match. Since it was matched (wrongly, but matched neverthless), "Change Content" was not offered. Here's the workaround:
1) From Library view, right-click and Manage, then click Remove From Library
2) At first prompt Would you really like to remove (movie name) from Library, click YES
3) At 2nd prompt asking if you want to delete the file, click NO (important, otherwise you just lost your movie)
4) Exit Library and go to Video Files, and select the source where the movie file is located, then scroll down to it
5) Right click the (now) unmatched movie and what do you get in the choices? Change Content !!!
6) Select a different scraper like Universal and you should get a tailor made match

What kind of R rated movies? My R rated movies still seem to be scraping for me with no special settings.

The kind that tmdb deem adult, for instance, a lot of Tinto Brass-directed movies. Here's just 2 examples: Monamour (2006) or Private (2003)
Obviously one need to use tmdb as scraper for the issue to arise

[mfu95]

Of course if you have an unmatched movie (quite rare but it can happen), its even quicker, from my post# 6, you can jump start at step# 5

In my case Kodi kept doing a wrong match, although it was not its fault...

We must be on different rating systems.. "R" in the US typically doesn't show.. that much.

I've run into this a few times, just manually enter the movie's IMDb id when the scraper searches for it.

My bad, I meant rated 18+

But the point is sometimes searching tmdb will not find the movie at all, or with wrong/incomplete infos, its good to know we can have a 2nd opinion in those case, without switching scraper alltogether when it obtains 99.9% correct infos elsewhere.

That sounded like a great way to fix problem movies, but I just tried it and zippo.
Again, my default scraper is TMdb, so it makes sense that the tt number from IMDB doesn't get a hit using TMdb scraper.

I am really impressed with the accuracy of Kodi with TMdb as scraper; as long as your files are properly (meticulously) named, it nearly bats a 1000...
I tried briefly Universal scraper, that combo was giving me significantly more errors.

Also tried PLEX, 50% error/unfound rate if not more, had to ditch it!
