Locally Stored Information Found (but thre isn't any!) - jalcaid001 - 2020-12-24

I tried to refresh a movie that doesn't show me a poster. It's a .mkv file in a folder without any other files with the same name.

Why would Kodi tell me ' Locally Stored Information Found. Ignore and refresh from Internet?' IF I click No, it asks me for the movie name

As scrapper, I'm using the Movie Database

TIA

It is a bug. Select Yes to continue refreshing from the internet. If you answer No, it keeps looking for the local information which does not exist.

If the scraper cannot find the movie, then go to TheMovieDB and find the movie and make sure you have named it correctly.

Good to know. But then there are cases where local information is actually available. How would I know? Do I need to go to the specific folder and check?

Also, once it's scrapped, there is no flag in the library saying whether the movie was scrapped from local info or not, is there?

Then there are those cases where unexpectedly moviedb scrapping doesn't work unexpectedly. Look at 'Wallace.and.Gromit.The.Curse.of.the.Were-Rabbit.2005.1080p.WEBRip.DD5.1.x264-monkee.mkv'. What string does Kodi use to search in the moviedb to search. If I use 'Wallace and Gromit The Curse of the Were-Rabbit' it gives me a result

You don't. Answer No first, if it doesn't work you know there is no local information, then try again and answer Yes

It tries to determine the (Year) and everything to the left of that is used for the search string. But typically when there is so much garbage in the file name as in your example, then the chances of confusing the scraper are high.

Then you should use that name.

Ok.. for whatever reason that particular movie was not scrapping before. I tried again and it works. The debugs show me it's using the entry below. So it seems Kodi tries to guess the title by itself and then some extra info

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=f090bb54758cabf231fb605d3e3e0468&query=Wallace%20and%20Gromit%20The%20Curse%20of%20the%20Were-Rabbit&year=2005&language=en

Regarding the bug, it seems wether I answer yes or not, wether there is actually local info or not, Kodi ends up looking for internet information regardless. So if I want to use local info, I have to remove the movie from library and scan that particular folder

I still have this bug on Kodi v20 Windows. Any chances to fix it?

Any chance you can come up with a debug log (wiki) so we can doublecheck the problem?

No need. That glitch has been around for many years.

Oh.

RE: Locally Stored Information Found (but thre isn't any!) - Karellen - 2023-03-10

Looks like there is an issue report also...

RE: Locally Stored Information Found (but thre isn't any!) - spinmaster - 2024-11-20

I have been wondering about the same "issue" just now and found this thread via search engine. I manage my media externally via a 3rd party tool to create NFOs. Just last night, I updated the NFO for a single movie and now want to refresh that NFO information in Kodi (using 21.1).

In my case and as seen in the screenshots, I had a NFO update for "Enterprise - The Definite History". When I go in the GUI via "I" and and then "Refresh", I get the "Locally stored info found. Ignore and refresh from Internet?" Popup. I always assumed that when I click "No" this means that Kodi does not look up anything on the Internet and just reloads the data locally from the NFO (again).

As all the information is present in the NFO: why do I need to select the Movie again in the next Popup?

This has always been exremely confusing to say the least... Question: is this the same bug as described in this thread?

RE: Locally Stored Information Found (but thre isn't any!) - Hitcher - 2024-11-20

That's using a scraper. Have you set up your sources to use local files?

RE: Locally Stored Information Found (but thre isn't any!) - spinmaster - 2024-11-22

Thanks Hitcher. My understanding has always been that the type of scraper setting set for a source does not matter when using NFOs. I alway assumed that the logic Kodi uses is like this: check if a NFO is present: if yes, then load meta information from NFO, if no NFO is found, then scrape via Internet (via whatever scraper is set).

This is how my source is configured (I assume this screen is what you meant):

Since I use NFOs for all my media, I got confused when trying to update my movie as described previously: since the meta information for "Enterprise - The Definitive History" is already present in the NFO, why do I get another popup to confirm the movie title when clicking "No" (as in: don't load anything from the internet) in the screenshot? I simply want that the updated NFO is sourced again for the movie.

Is there a misunderstanding on my end? Or do I need to switch to "Local information only" for each source?

the refresh button should say "Refresh From Internet", it doesn't refresh from NFO
that's why it's confirming

to refresh from NFO remove it from your library (manage->remove) then update library
but this still may not work because Kodi sometime's keeps a cache of folders and will not update within 24 hours, it will assume it's already scanned some of the time

this is how i have observed it's operation, whether or not it's intended i am not sure

Not correct. Refresh will refresh from nfo files if present, otherwise from the online site using the set scraper.
If you have Local Info Only as the scraper, and no nfo file, then nothing happens.

Sounds like the nfo file is not being found and the scraper is being used.
Provide a Debug Log.
