Hi,
I’m a relatively new user of Kodi, currently in the process of digitising my DVD collection and importing into the library. I’m having trouble with one specific file – the Pixar short film BURN-E. It’s in a particular directory (/data/KidsMovies) along with a number of other files, all of which are scanned and scraped without problem. The filename is BURN-E.mkv.
When I update the library I can see that the file is being found and the scraper is picking up the right information (BURN-E (2008) shows up briefly). However, the video then never appears in my list of films. I’m using Kodi 16.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 with the Mimic skin, though I’ve also tried Confluence and Amber, neither of which show the video either. I have a few different sources set up and linked to from the Home screen using playlists/favourites.
The file isn’t mentioned in the log as one which won’t be added. I’ve tried moving it to a different Movie source and rescanning but that hasn’t worked – again the scraper appears to pick it up but it never appears in the video list. I was wondering whether the font could cause a problem, as it isn’t actually a dash between the words but a black dot.
Interestingly, when I use the Live DVD Cases option for the background of that source, the poster for the video does show up in the random selection of titles.
I’m at a loss and am hoping that someone will be able to help me out!
