You have a source for this as I hadn’t heard of this previously and I just did a quick test and it seemed to work just fine. I made a new local profile on my PC and added a source that contained 748 movies that have local information that was generated by TMM and set the scraper to “internal sources only”. It successfully (and correctly) scraped 747 movies. I then checked the one movie that did not come in and it was missing the nfo. I opened TMM, went to that movie, and told it to rewrite the nfo. Updated the library in Kodi and now it picked up all 748.
Here it is. It’s in the thread I opened because I could not get Kodi to recognize the episodes in TV Shows and some Movies. It appears that it started with a new version of Kodi. Which version are you using?

are you saying not to use local info only for tv shows? Care to explain, please.
Yes, that is what I am saying. There is a bug in Kodi when it comes to scanning TV Shows with an in the NFO file.
If Kodi reads the tvshow.nfo file and finds the tag, then it tries to perform a lookup. Once it performs the lookup, the scanner continues to load the NFO file. Nothing is downloaded from the online site (unless you have missing artwork and there are valid artwork links in the nfo file).
By setting Local Info Only, Kodi blocks the online lookup and the scanner fails to process the NFO file. Strange thing is that it doesn’t happen all the time, and it may not happen immediately. You can scan four or five shows then it suddenly decides not to scan anymore.
