Multi-Episode NFO files are no longer read correctly



Since I updated Kodi to the newest official release, multi-episode NFO files no longer work. Only the information for the first episode is used, everything else is not only not recognised but even prevents Kodi from scraping missing information from the internet.

An example:

A file with three episodes named S01E01E02E03. If it’s scraped without an existing NFO file, all information is displayed correctly. If I now export the library to generate an NFO file for this episode, the file itself is also correct – multiple <episodedetails> tags with all required information.

But if I know refresh the information on these episodes, only the information about the first episode is recognised, the other two episodes have no name or any other information and are just “02” and “03” instead of e.g. “02. Pilot Part 2” and “03. Pilot Part 3”.

This also occurs when I refresh episodes that already were in my library correctly before the update without even touching the nfo files, so the issue must be how Kodi 21.0 reads (or rather doesn’t read) multi-episode NFO files.
