I wonder if you could help me, I have an issue with an nfo file. I installed the VideoExtras addon and successfully scraped a movie in its own folder with an extra in its own Extras folder. However, when trying to scrape another movie of the same set, with a videoextras.nfo file inside its folder pointing to the other Extras directory (shared extras), the scraping fails (no title, no cast, no crew, etc.). I suspect it's because the nfo file is interpreted to have information about the movie rather than the extras. If I remove the nfo file the movie is scraped properly but the extra is not associated with the movie. I understand nfo files are meant to be ignored when they don't have the same name as the movie file, but in this case the videoextras.nfo file is always picked up by this scraper.

Here's the videoextras.nfo file:

Code:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<videoextras>
    <directory>..\Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).DVD [en, es-lat, sub] [xtra]\Extras</directory>
</videoextras>

I store the movies in VIDEO_TS folders inside the movie folders, along with the Extras folders when they apply. However, just to make sure this wasn't the problem, I tested the scraper using a single movie file in a folder, rather than a DVD structure, and the problem persisted.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

These are the excludes added by VideoExtras to advancedsettings.xml:

Code:

<!-- VideoExtras: Section Start -->
      <excludefromscan action="append">
        <regexp>/Extras/</regexp>
        <regexp>[\\/]Extras[\\/]</regexp>
      </excludefromscan>
      <excludetvshowsfromscan action="append">
        <regexp>/Extras/</regexp>
        <regexp>[\\/]Extras[\\/]</regexp>
      </excludetvshowsfromscan>
      <!-- VideoExtras: Section End -->

It is with these settings that the scraper reads the videoextras.nfo file as having information about the movie. I wasn't sure what ignore condition to add, so I tried this:

Code:

<regexp>/videoextras.nfo/</regexp>

The movie is scraped properly but the extras are ignored.

Then I attempted to add a source with movies, and scrape it, but it seems to terminate the scraping at the first Movie. Examining the log reveals the following lines:

Any ideas on how to solve this?

EDIT:

After much fiddling I discovered that if I copied the addon directory metadata.common.impa.com from an old (and working) installation of Kodi to the new installation, the Universal Movie Scraper works again. Shouldn't this be included per default when installing Universal Movie Scraper if it is required?
