Hi everyone,
I’ve been struggling with this problem for a while now, and I couldn’t find a solution in the wiki or forum. My Movies library only contains about one fourth of all my movies. They are all in the same folder, and thus part of the same source. I thought there might be a naming problem, but I checked a few of the missing movies and they were named correctly (exact name from TheMovieDB, no additional information). I also tried adding they year, but to no avail. For example, I have a movie called “8 Mile.mkv” that’s missing in the library. I renamed it “8 Mile (2002).mkv”, re-scanned the source and it’s still not showing up. The problem seems to occur for both .mkv and .mp4 files.
When I access the movies through Videos/Files/myMoviesFolder, they all show up and can be played without a problem. I also noticed that the movies not showing up in the Movies library show up with the file extension (.mp4, .mkv, …) in the list under Videos/File/myMoviesFolder, but the rest don’t have a file extension there (which I guess must mean they were correctly matched and their file name was replaced by the title).
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem? Thanks in advance!
FYI: I’m using Kodi 17.3 on Windows 10, the files are stored on a Samba NAS.
