Hey everyone,
I’ve been using Kodi for a few months but yesterday I encountered an error and I’m completely stuck trying to fix it.
Everything was working perfectly until I decided to try MediaElch to manage my fairly large media library. Up until yesterday I used Kodi 17’s built in TV & Movie scrapers, but I decided to try and make things easier for future Kodi devices by scraping everything with MediaElch.
To ensure my media library is ideally organised, I changed my file structure within my media folder from this :
Media Folder/Movies/Movie1.avi
Media Folder/Movies/Movie2.avi
to this:
Media Folder/Movies/Movie1/Movie1.avi
Media Folder/Movies/Movie2/Movie2.avi
Then I added the “Movies” folder to MediaElch, completed the scrapes, made sure all the movies were correctly identified and the movie posters were suitable.
I then when back to my Kodi device, removed the existing media sources, cleaned the library, re-added the media sources, set their content to the appropriate option, then selected “Movies are in separate folders that match the movie title” & “Choose information provider: local information only”. I also turned off “Scan recursively”.
I then selected “update library”, the on screen prompts says “Scanning movies using local information only: 0%. Scanning for new content” but nothing happens beyond that. I have waited several hours for anything to happen, but it doesn’t change from 0%.
If I use Kodi’s file browser, navigate to the “Movies” folder, highlight a folder containing a film then select “scan to library”, it works perfectly.
My PC running “MediaElch 2.4.2 Talax” is Windows 10. All of my media is stored on this PC, and other devices access it through the gigabit network.
My Kodi device is a Windows 7 machine running Kodi 17.3, it connects to the network with gigabit Ethernet.
If anyone could *please* offer any help or insight into this situation, I would be hugely appreciative!
Thanks, everyone!
