Local information scrapper does not work with Android but does with Windows - Outlow24 - 2023-09-03

Hello everyone,

I have recently reinstalled my NVIDIA Shield with a factory reset. When I reinstalled Kodi, I found out that I'm now unable to use the local scrapper to get infos from the NFOs I generate using TinyMediaManager.

I have tested the NFOs on the Windows version of Kodi and everything works properly by default without having to change any parameter.
To be sure I tried another simple configuration:

Code:

Kodi_Movie
   | Test Movie (2019)/
     | Test Movie (2019).mp4
     | Test Movie (2019).nfo

with Kodi_Movie being a movie source (of course I selected the local information scrapper).

NFO config: https://paste.kodi.tv/ulateyiwoz

I did try scrapping it on Windows, it worked without any issue.
It did not on my android version on NVIDIA shield.

I have the latest version installed (20.2) and beside the advancedsettings.xml (which is the same that I use on Windows), I did not change any default settings
Here are the logs: https://paste.kodi.tv/ucixoxuhar.kodi

Can someone help me ? I really can't understand why it's not working

Thanks a lot !

  1. uniqueid is required
  2. there is no difference between android and windows in this regard, it compiles from the same source code
  3. kodi will typically not rescan a folder within 24 hours if the hash has not changed, that's why your log indicates "No New information found"
  4. it is scraper not scrapper
put a unique id in the nfo
-
remove from kodi completely, easiest is to set the source's content to None and select Yes when it asks to remove all items from library then rescan
