Video Library Scanning Issue with Mandalorian?

Help and Support
1

So I seem to have a scanning issue with only The Mandalorian. All other TV shows seem to scan just fine.

Anyone else having this problem?

Here’s what I’m seeing in the logfile:

Have you tried these tips from another thread you’ve posted in?

Do you have a nfo file in that folder? Regardless, bring up the information window on the show (not an episode), click on refresh, tell it all episodes and ignore local when asked. Did that make it scrape correctly?

No nfo file. Hadn’t used one before and it had been scanning just fine. However, in reading this post and a few others I see that the default TV show scraper is now TMDB instead of TVDB? I’ve been on KODI for close to 10 years now and always used the TVDB as my default. Just swapped to the the TMDB and it picked everything up. Bloody forgot to backup my watched list with texturecache.py though…

welp!

If a show was originally scanned with one scraper and you switch your source to use a different scrapper then you have to refresh the show in order for it to scan new episodes. When you scan in a TV show it stores the path to the currently selected scraper and all episodes scanned after only reference that already stored path. When you change your scraper Kodi does not try to update your library to switch to urls that are pointing to the new scraper. Thus you either have to refresh one by one from the information window or set your source content to “none” and tell Kodi to remove the items from your library, then set your content again with the new scraper allowing for updated info with the fresh library scan. The one by one option is a PITA but it does retain watched status.

I would suggest checking out Trakt for keeping track of watched status in the future.
