You would then run a clean library to remove the now dead links. If that doesn’t work try renaming the actual folder and which will normally let Kodi treat it as a new show to scrape. Click on refresh and choose the options for all episodes and not to ignore local. In this case in Videos>files find the top level folder in question and bring up the information window for the show there. ![]() If you have a show that is scraping correctly, but you have a correct nfo file in it’s folder then it would seem that Kodi’s db is set to bypass the nfo. In Kodi check in settings>media>videos and make sure the use tags option is not enabled. If the file names do match with TMM’s db then try right clicking on the show and tell it to rewrite episode nfo’s. It is kind of hard to say without specifics (file names in particular) but the only times I normally see issues like that is if I have files that are in DVD order and TMM is trying to scrape the default episode order (or vise versa setting DVD order incorrectly). However, Kodi simply refuses to show the episodes in a couple Series. The weird thing is that I can add new episodes to some ongoing TV Series, run the “Scan for New Content” command and the new episodes show up without issues, don’t even need to delete them for Kodi to see the new episodes. I also tried using the “Update Library” but got the same results. Still not correctly displayed.Īs suggested above, I delete the incorrect TV Series from the library, and then run a “Scan for New Content” in the context menu. I then went to TVDB and created the input for a TV series that did not exist there and Kodi was not showing any episodes for it, despite all files were there and the NFO created by TMM. I then tried comparing the information in the NFO file and also did not see anything different between a correctly identified series and one not showing the episodes. However, this is not the reason for the incorrect episodes’ listing in Kodi, since it lists some that have one NFO per episodes and others that only one NFO for the whole series correctly. One thing I noticed is that not all TV Shows get one NFO file per episode. I use TMM (TinyMediaManager) to organize my movies and TV series. I spent some time comparing the information stored in the file folders (one per series and seasons in subfolders corresponding to their numbers). I use TVDB as the scrapper for TV shows both in TMM and in Kodi. It’s tedious and there’s no reason you should do it.My 4K+ running Kodi 18.9 still has issues with some TV shows, where an incorrect number of episodes show up or none at all. On top of waiting for the media collection to scrape you then have to go through and correct the errors all over again. Scraping can take hours on a large media collection. Install another media center elsewhere in the house? Time to rescrape again or gamble at exporting and importing the data if your media center software even supports it. You know what that means? If you turf your media center and have to reinstall, all that data has to be rescraped. Further more nearly every media center stores the data it scrapes locally. Unfortunately media scrapers range from decent to downright crappy and correcting their mistakes using your HTPC remote or a media center keyboard is tedious. ![]() Why would you want one if your media center already has built in media scraping? Most media centers do have some sort of scraper built in-a scraper is a small script that combs through online databases like the Internet Movie Database to look for media matches.
