Solved: Won't add some files

I have a number of issues with my new VERO 4k+ but I think I should start with the fact that some media files that previously worked on Kodi on my Nvidia shield are no longer being imported.

Log file: https://paste.osmc.tv/jeqexakepi

I know this has probably been asked a million times but i’ve been googling for 30 minutes and don’t have a good explanation. The files are correctly named as far as i can tell.

2020-04-01 21:39:27.280 T:3881820896 WARNING: No information found for item 'smb://STHNAS/media/TV/Cowboy Bebop/', it won't be added to the library.

It would help to see full logs

You could also extract the video library from the Shield and import to the Vero If you want to preserve viewing history etc

Disregard, I can see you’ve uploaded full logs.

Are you using nfo files? If so whatever program is making them is doing something very wrong.

i cleared my kodi files on shield because it wouldn’t boot. and that’s what prompted me to buy the vero, hoping linux would be better. And it definitely is, except for a few issues.

i only have 1 NFO file for a custom tv show. I created that nfo by hand. Cowboy bebop has no nfo

this is the entire cowboy bebop folder

Don’t worry – we’ll get those issues solved, but let’s get this sorted first.

Can you show us the contents of the NFO?

Cheers

Sam

the NFO is for a custom series

i put the whole folder structure here
each nfo in each season matches an exactly named media file.

Kodi has zero issues showing the custom series.

This series is not the series that Kodi has trouble importing.

Understood.

When did you last scrape the show on the Shield?
Did you use the TMDB scraper on the Shield?

unfortunately i can’t check on the shield as the settings have been wiped. I’m fairly certain I’ve used “The Movie Database” for both the shield and osmc. (there isn’t any other setting on the osmc as far as i can tell)

TMDB doesn’t have any (season) info on that series

So suggest to use another scraper (e.g. TVDB)

it’s quite possible i was using the tvdb before, installing it now and rescraping. thanks

Try renaming the folder to “Cowboy Bebop (1998)” or else put a nfo file titled “tvshow.nfo” in the root folder with the only content in that file being the following url…

https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/30991-cowboy-bebop

EDIT: That url if you go that route will only work for TheMovieDB being set as the scraper. If you switch to TVDB you will have to use…

https://thetvdb.com/series/cowboy-bebop

Also as you probably already have this TV show set in your database you will likely have to refresh it to bring in the correct data. Go to settings>media>video>show empty TV shows> and enable it. That should then allow you to see this empty show in your Library. Find it there, bring up the information window, then click on “refresh”.

Thanks everyone. It seems fixed with the TVDB scraper.
