The Movie Database Support

Reinstalled my Kodi media player and re-scraping my libraries, figured a good time for some cleaning and fixing.

I rename folders to put "the" at the end, for example "Dresden Files, The" because it sorts better when looking at the files and such, but, scraping almost always fails. If I remove ", The" from the end it's fine. Also in some cases I had to add (YYYY) year to the end if a series is a remake or something.

So, I removed ", The" from the end of every folder, and added (YYYY) the year to every folder. Filenames are fine, they stay as how Filebot scrapes/renames them.

Wiped out the library data, re-scraped again.

So, every file that wouldn't automatically scrape before is now working. However, I have a new list equally as long of files that use to scrape fine that now won't unless I manually run them.

What the heck?

First example is Battlestar Galactica... I use to have it as Battlestar Galactica (2003) but scraped the mini-series because I guess now listed as (2004) so changed the date and now doesn't scrape either unless I manually do it.

Doctor Who (1963) and Doctor Who (2005) scraped yesterday, not today, nothing changed, kinda stumped at that one.

The rest, Ghosts (2019), Invincible (2021), Legit (2013), Lost in Space (2018) and others, all worked fine or scraped the wrong version (Ghosts would scrape the 2021 series) but now don't scrape automatically at all.

What's the reasoning? I mean, why are 100 other folders scraping just fine with the added date and removed "the" but these that worked yesterday, with the added date, do not?

Trying to get a good consistent folder naming scheme but just a few that won't cooperate.

You need to ask this to the writer of your scraper, aka the Kodi support team.
