Thanks
I selected "The TVDB (new)" and the scan went without errors (TVmaze also works)

I may not quite understand the principle of the Kodi player, I just recently bought a device

In my remote folder, there are three different serials... Why is only 1 shown in the library after scanning? https://mega.nz/folder/LAxnCDAB#UIV6rLmH0gI7A7Z5hRiA6w
Is it possible to just display folders without any information and posters? For example, I select "TV shows" фnd just folders from all the sources that I have choosen for the series are displayed. Without any meta information

Because you have not named the TV Show folder correctly. I guess the episodes will be incorrectly named also.
The TV show folder should be The Last of Us
The episodes should be The Last of Us S01E01 format

Use Videos>Files

Also, do not use TVDB (new) as it is unsupported. Use the TheTVDB v4 scraper

@Karellen thanks for the information

In the scraper configurations for movie there is a section to get the keywords but in the tvshow scraper I don't see those

It was never added to this scraper. There did not seem to be any interest in it and you are the first person to query it.
Not sure if pkscout, the scraper developer, has any interest adding it. Lets wait and see what he says.

I'll take a look at it. No promises on when, and it will probably only be for Nexus (I no longer have a Matrix setup on which to test), but it doesn't look *that* hard to add.

That will be nice, so to be clear, actually there is no way to put keywords on tvshows? Are any add-ons that make that. Cus I use keywords in movie to make my owns list and I would like make them too for tvshows. And thanks again. And great work!!!

You can use nfo files. Add <tag><tag>

Thanks, meanwhile I would have to do it.
I hope in future we can get keywords automatic from scraper to tvshows.

There is a beta version of the Nexus scraper that adds TMDb keywords as tags by default now. There is also a setting to turn it off. This mirrors the functionality and behavior on the TMDb Movies side. One note though. In order for the settings change to work (i.e. turn the saving of tags off), you have to change the setting on the source and then restart Kodi. At least on my test setup that was the only way to get source setting changes to be recognized. I basically never change my source settings, so it's possible it's always been that way. It's also possible there's just something weird in my test setup.

Anyway, here's the test version:

https://github.com/xbmc/metadata.tvshows.themoviedb.org.python/tree/nexus

Download the zip from the green CODE button and then install from zip on Kodi.

Yes, that's normal. Settings are saved in the database. When a new setting is added to the scraper, there is no way for the addon to add the new setting to the database, so you need to change to another scraper, then change back so the new settings are written to the database.

Can anyone tell me if those assertions are right or wrong please:

- The scraper can fetch show metadata if there is no tvshow.nfo file.

- If there is a tvshow.nfo file, the episodeguide node is mandatory for the scraper to fetch metadata.

- id and uniqueid nodes from tvshow.nfo are never read by the scraper.

- Kodi can write data in tvshow.nfo, scrapers cannot.

- The scrapers can change episodeguide value in tvshow.nfo by sending a string to Kodi which will write it in the file.

- The NFO_files/TV_shows (wiki) page (stating tvshow, title and uniqueid are the only required nodes in tvshow.nfo) is outdated.

Correct. As long as you have named the tv show correctly

It's not mandatory, but is recommended.

id is never read. UniqueID can be read as a last resort fallback.

When you run an Export Library, Kodi will write nfo files.

Why is it oudated?
No, they are not the only tags that need to be added. That would be pretty stupid using only title and uniqueid to add to your library.
Out of all the tags that you add to your nfo, those green items are mandatory and must always be used.
