I am setting up Kodi on Raspberry Pi 3 for my Dad (77 years young) as his Dune Smart D1 is slow on the network,
We are not trying to stream movies off the net and have no repositories on, just using Kodi as is, he has 7 WD MyClouds varying from 4tb to 8tb each and has Movies and TV shows spread out (These are separated into folders, the sub folders which is very tidy)
Problem we have is that Kodi doesn’t pick all the films up or selects the wrong film, so we used “FileBot”, again some films didn’t work, checked against iMDb and file names are correct, yet I can manually change each one within Kodi I am just worried that they’ll default back after a update or failure,
Bare in mind we are talking several thousand of entries this would be time consuming to do each time, so I looked at creating a .NFO which led me to ‘tinyMediaManager’ (I didn’t install the universal movie scraper because it would take far too long to get all the meta for the files and on the folders I tried it still missed)
The software is flawless when running, I expected a long delay when selecting the folders, but after a few minutes all the movies were there.
I had to close the program down, and it would not restart, so I had to deleted the folder and create it again, tried several times and still the same.
Question 1
Is there a limit to number of files it can handle?
Question 2
If Question 1 is no, what am I doing wrong?
