Hello mlaggner and myron,
I am looking at re-writing some outdated wiki pages, so I ran some tests on scraping to ensure what was already in the wiki pages was still relevant.
This is what I did. Each TV Show has 10 episodes and I scraped with TMM, then let Kodi scrape the nfo files…
1. 5 shows ripped with bluray disc structure preserved
2. 5 shows ripped with dvd disc structure preserved
3. 5 shows as mp4/mkv all 10 episodes in the tv show folder
4. 5 shows as mp4/mkv each episode in its own episode folder
I then disconnected my internet connection and performed a scrape. Scraper set as Local Information. Also tried with TVDB set.
Items 2, 3 and 4 scraped with no problems
Item 1, being the bluray structure refused to scrape. It would scrape the TVShow but it refused to scrape the Episodes.
I tried the following…
1. The nfo file for the episode is called bdmv.nfo and is located here…E:\TV Shows-Test\Babylon 5\Babylon 5 S01E01\
2. I copied the nfo file to E:\TV Shows-Test\Babylon 5\Babylon 5 S01E01\BDMV and it did not work
3. I copied the nfo file to E:\TV Shows-Test\Babylon 5\Babylon 5 S01E01\BDMV\Stream\ and it did not work
4. I renamed the nfo files to Babylon 5 S01E01.nfo, 00000.nfo, stream.nfo and index.nfo. None of these worked.
When I re-connected the internet the 5 tv shows scraped ok, which indicates it was just a straight TVDB scrape and it bypassed the episode nfo files completely.
Do you know where the error is? Can you replicate the problem?
I have never noticed this before as my internet is always connected so if there was an issue other times, there was nothing to make me aware of it.
Funnily the actors artwork is present in Kodi, but I can’t see where the actors images were saved by TMM
