According to my 'sources' context menu in Kodi it's set to use 'TMDb TV Shows'... not sure why it wouldn't be using it?

Edit: Ok, it looks like JUST 'The Simpsons' was set to tvdb scraper... that's absurd!

Mainly looks like these errors:
`ERROR <general>: VideoInfoScanner: Asked to lookup episode /mnt/animation/TV/The Simpsons/Season 29/The.Simpsons.S29E18.HD.TV-postbot.mkv online, but we have no episode guide. Check your tvshow.nfo and make sure the <episodeguide> tag is in place.`

No idea what that means?

edit: Just to show there are no .nfo files :

osmc@osmc:~$ find /mnt/animation/TV/ -name "*.nfo"
osmc@osmc:~$
Well, I have good news, bad news, and just news.  The good news is that your problem has nothing to do with the size of the image list in the MySQL database.  The bad news is that I'm also not sure what's causing your problem.  The just news is that it appears you are using the TVDB scraper, so you are in the wrong thread.  This thread is for The Movie Database TV Show scraper (i.e. TMDb TV Show Scraper).

I'm having an issue with this scraper and the show "Reno 911!", not sure if maybe its because of the "!".

If I scrape with the "tvdb (new)" scraper it works fine and the show pops up in my library, but it doesn't provide the clearart and stuff from fanart.tv

If I scrape with the "tmdb tv show" scraper I can see it finds the show and downloads lots of stuff, but then the show disappears from my library when its done.

@tjwoosta

Please provide a Debug Log which captures you scraping the show and it disappearing from the library.


RE: TMDb TV Show scraper (Python - Default Matrix Scraper) - tjwoosta - 2021-12-24

I'm having trouble finding a paste site that allows large enough pastes. My log is 5,122 KB

On the link you gave I see a reference to use paste.ubuntu.com for very large pastes so I created an account and everything but it gives me a 502 error when I try to actually paste something.


RE: TMDb TV Show scraper (Python - Default Matrix Scraper) - Karellen - 2021-12-24

@tjwoosta

Yes, Ill remove the reference to paste.ubuntu. A lot of users have problems with it including me.

Kodi Paste Site accepts about 15,000 lines. So if you split your log into two or three, and provide the links, that should be ok.

Hmmm...

Looks like you have nfo files created by Sonarr. I wouldn't be using them.
Do you have local artwork also?

You are affected by this problem here... https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/19845

As a test could you open your episode nfo files and delete the artwork tag. It looks like this... <thumb>https://artworks.thetvdb.com/banners/series/72336/episodes/5ee8b4ef62ea3.jpg</thumb>

Let us know if the show scans. Do you already have seasons 1-6 in the library?


RE: TMDb TV Show scraper (Python - Default Matrix Scraper) - tjwoosta - 2021-12-24

Aha! Thats it, thank you.

No local artwork, just the nfo.

I removed the artwork from one episode and that one scanned into the library. Ill just set sonarr to not include the nfo then. I was using sonarr's nfos because a couple years ago I was having trouble with certain shows scanning in kodi because of non-standard filenames, where sonar would already have it matched without needing the filename.

Seasons 1-6 aired years ago and are already deleted.


RE: TMDb TV Show scraper (Python - Default Matrix Scraper) - tjwoosta - 2021-12-24

ohh, wait, I spoke too soon.

If I remove the nfo's that were generated by sonarr altogether the show disappears from kodi library again. It only works if I use the nfo but remove the <thumb> line.

Also worth noting that I have many other shows that were imported from sonarr the same way going back many years and they work fine, with or without the nfo. Its only this one show.

That is because you are trying to scan the show as season 7, but according to TMDB, it is a new show and should be Season 1... https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/103190-reno-911
Also if you delete the tag, but you have no local artwork, then you won't have any artwork in Kodi.
Seems like Sonarr only does a half job- gives you metadata but no artwork.


RE: TMDb TV Show scraper (Python - Default Matrix Scraper) - tjwoosta - 2021-12-24

Oh, interesting. That must be why the tvdb scraper works and tmdb doesn't then.

So I guess the best solution for me at the moment is probably to just use the tvdb scraper for this show and suppliment with artwork downloader for the clear logo and stuff.

Yep, if you install Artwork Dump, it will download the original artwork for you.
If you are not interested in local artwork, then you don't need to do anything as Kodi will download and cache the required artwork.


RE: TMDb TV Show scraper (Python - Default Matrix Scraper) - Freitag73 - 2022-01-09

Hi guys, no artwork for this two tv series:
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/88754-lego-masters
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/92408-tokyo-stories

Episodes are correctly scraped but none artwork available.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

As always, the first suggestion is to post debug logs showing the scrape of the problem show.
