Hi all, following a brand new & clean install of Kodi 21, I have noticed an unusual issue where I am unable to scrape only a handful of movies when using the Universal Movie Scraper. This issue only started since the use of advancedsettings.xml to successfully share my library with my other devices.
I confirm that I have read **** READ FIRST- Library and Scraping Problems ****
My preferred scraper is Universal Movie Scraper as it provides a lot more information i.e Rotten Tomatoes.
Very sorry for such a long post – but I wanted to capture as much as possible. Any help will be greatly appreciated 
My Configuration:
- The following steps have been carried out on a Windows 10 device, but the issue is exactly the same if carried out on my other 2 Android devices (Nvidia Shield Pro)
- Video tags are disabled
- MariaDB10
- Kodi 21.0.0
- Skin AEONNOX Silvo V10.0.0
- Universal Movie Scraper v 5.5.14
- The Movie Database Python v3.0.1
- No local .NFO file
- My naming convention for all of my folders / files is exactly as for the one I have used in this example. Each movie has its own folder i.e Folder name “The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring 2001” containing the file “The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring.mkv”
- Coincidentally all 3 of the LOTR trilogy movies have this same issue as described below !
These are the steps Running Kodi Locally without advancedsettings.xml: Kodi Log – Running Kodi Locally No advancedsettings.xml
- Temporarily removed advancedsettings.xml from the Database folder
- Started Kodi 21 and removed LOTR from library
- Cleaned the Library
- Open the folder where LOTR resides and scraped it using Universal Movie Scraper and am provided a short list of possible matches
- I select “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)” and it is scraped in successfully
Steps with advancedsettings.xml : Kodi Log Using advancedsettings.xml
- I add back the advancedsettings.xml into the Database folder and to ensure I was not using my local databases by renaming MyVideos131.db to MyVideos131.db.bak and MyMusic83.db to MyMusic83.db.bak
- Start Kodi and remove LOTR from library (as it had already been previously successfully scraped into my MAraiDB10 database)
- Clean the Library
- Open the folder where LOTR resides and scrape it using Universal Movie Scraper. I am provided with a long list of possible matches and I select “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)”
- After a few moments attempting to find the title, I receive an error “No Information Found!” and I click OK
- I receive anther error message “Make sure the selected folder is writeable and that the new folder name is valid” and I click OK
- I look at my playlist (small icon view Sorted in Ascending Title view), and LOTR is the very first icon on there. I look at its information and it has no title and “No Information available”
- I remove it from library, but it is still there, but this time without a thumbnail
- I remove it again from library, and this time it is removed
- Clean the Library
- Open the folder where LOTR resides and this time I scrape it with The Movie Database Python. I am now provided with a much shorter list of possible matches. I select “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)”
- This time it is scraped in successfully
