Most Movies not in Library

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.

Subtitle help needed.

Hi there



I’m watching Game of Thrones on Kodi box via Isteam and everything fine apart from when they speak in another language the subtitles don’t come up. I followed the instructions of installing Subscene and have installed and added it successfully to the language part in settings.



However when I tried to download the subtitles and match with the same speed link type file like 720p or HD type file it does not Sync correctly and it is all audio subtitles that are displayed not just the different language parts as I said it doesn’t sync at the same speed when playing.



I’ve tried to link up the same subtitle download speed as the file speed episode type file I’m watching and it still doesn’t sync up correctly.



I’ve tried read up on how to change the subtitle language to only display a non-language type but I can’t find that option on my language settings on my box.



I don’t much about files names/codes tbh, when I go to watch an episode I choose a random link I think might work or choose one that is title HD high quality named one.



I’ve also tried to search a program name and put in with English subtitles and the search engine doesn’t work.



Please can you advise of a work around for this issue?



Thanks Frown

Scrapping issue?

Hi,

Got to make a fresh installation of Kodi and then got a weird issue: a lot of my localy stored movies do not show in library

What already come to my mind:

- corrupted files: remade some of my rip did not solve issue
- HDD issue: put files on another HDD did not solve issue
- skin issue: fresh install of kodi with no other addons did not solve issue

As an exemple, we will take "The hobbit: The desolation of Smaug"

First, here is the folder structure:
[Image: 170605042825464557.png]

The folder "Movies" being set as source

And here are the scrapper settings:
[Image: 170605042825263095.png]

And a proof that tmdb as french data about this movie:

This setup works since I use kodi, but today i got issues: this movie (and some other one) does not show!
[Image: 170605042825747118.png]

As you can see, the movie is missing

And kodi log tells that the scrapper did not find info for this movie
