I spent couple days to make names of movies/shows correct in the MediaElch.
worried:
But names were not updated when I ran update library on the RPi2 (OSMC OS)
Exmpl: Movie “10 Rules for Winning Her Heart”
CZ name is “10 pravidel jak sbalit holku”
The MediaElch created these two files:
10 pravidel jak sbalit holku (2014).nfo - contained correct name 10 pravidel jak sbalit holku"
movie.xml - contained “wrong” tags
LocalTitle 10 Rules /LocalTitle
OriginalTitle 10 Rules /OriginalTitle
Should I removed the “movie.xml” files from whole NAS?
Also, there are couple files, which I already removed from NAS, so I hoped that when I run “library update” the will dispersed from Kodi, but they are still there
Any idea how to force Kodi to forget removed files and also read the “.nfo” files correctly?
To forget the movies I believe you have to use “clean library” from the settings menu.
To use the information from the .nfo files instead of what online scrapers provice you would change it in the content settings to use local files instead of a scraper.
Removed all movie.xml and serie.xml files from whole NAS…
Cleaned library: System > Video > Clean library
Ran update library…
The removed files are not in the list anymore, but Czech names written in the MedieElch (which are present in the tvshow.nfo or .nfo are still not show in the Kodi on the RPi2
Cleaned library again: System > Video > Clean library
RPi2 rebooted
Running update library now again…
Not sure if it will help…
Or how to force RPi2 read the local nfo files? Thank you.
You are probably better to ask Kodi specific questions in the Kodi forums for a faster and more specific answer. It’s not immediately obvious what the problem is but I can’t imagine that it’s something specific to OSMC.
Ehm, not possible to insert nfo correct. so removed the starting <
Kodi setup to:
This directory contains: (Movies)
Choose a Scraper: Local information only
Movies are in separate folders … : checked
Scan recursively: checked
But again, once scan finished, this “movie” has no tittle, just empty line in the Movie list
And for most of the other movies, where nfo file contain Czech name, still engl. name of movie is shown.
Why???
Is really Kodi taking name of the movie from the nfo file? It does not seems so
How can I FORCE it to really read what is in the nfo files?
Thank you.
OK, so now I´m completely lost :sniffle: :rolleyes:
I cleaned library… then I removed both folders (Movies and Shows), so there were no movies at all in the Kodi
Then I added Show and Movie folders again and re-scan them, but again some of Names in the Kodi are in Czech, some still in Engl. :huh: :s
How/Where Kodi is taking these names from???
Example: Pirates…
Kodi is displaying: Pirates of the Caribbean The Curse of the Black Pearl
Folder name: Piráti z Karibiku Prokletí Černé perly (2003)
File name: Piráti z Karibiku Prokletí Černé perly (2003).avi
File: movie.nfo

File: Piráti z Karibiku Prokletí Černé perly (2003).nfo
So, how can I force Kodi to display correctly “Piráti z Karibiku Prokletí Černé perly” and not the Engl name “Pirates of the Caribbean The Curse of the Black Pearl” ??
I´m really desperate now, I renamed all files on whole NAS 2 times already and I´m did not move forward a bit :s :-/
Thank you.[/quote]
I have done: clean library > check for update in library > clean library > check for update in library
And voila… movies have Czech names and names are same as in the MediaElch (I setup there).
I had the same problem but found another solution that seems “the right one”, at least for me. Although this is an old thread, I left it here for the record.
Look for “My addons” in Kodi configuration and follow this route (I’m translating from Spanish, so the options could be different):
My Addons -> Information Providers -> Movie Information -> The Movie Database -> Configuration
There you will find an option to select your favorite language for the titles. I use “The Movie Database”, so this works for me. But if you use a different provider, I bet they have a similar option.
