To get the details out of the way I am running Kodi 16.1 Jarvis on Windows 10 64bit and have switched between 3 skins to eliminate them as the cause.
Its embarassing to admit but a single movie is kicking my butt its the movie named : I.T. from 2016 (pierce brosnan as an IT guy)
Ironically the movie named after information technology is kicking my scrapers butts. I first checked my scrapers site (themoviedb) for the title to ensure mine matched but my system is having problems most likely with the periods. If I remove the periods the scraper thinks its 2017s rendition of stephen kings IT and does not list the 2016 movie in the manual list at all.
I have tried IT (2016) | I.T. (2016) | I.T. | IT | “IT” (2016) | “I.T.” (2016) | “I.T. (2016)” | “IT (2016)” | 340677-i-t | 340677 | Information Technology (2016) | Information Technology
First problem I ran into is for some reason if I use extendedinfo script I am no longer able to manually scrape movies the refresh button is unavailable and the “manual” button under + window tries to run artwork downloader and errors out. Turning off extended info allowed me to perform the normal refresh maneuver.
Second problem I have is I am pretty unskilled with the program but I had become familiar with adapting scrapers on a per file basis from my anime smart playlist. Under the file section I am able to manage my anime shows per show and change the scraper but for movies this option does not even populate on the context window (change content)
So without being able to change content on the individual movie i am left with rescraping the entire source with another scraper that just may run into the same naming problem (which I want to avoid). Is there a naming technique I am missing?
