Hi,
I'm running a headless Kodi/MariaDB set-up, both running as Docker containers on an unRAID server. I also have a number of additional clients (FireTV 4K, Raspberry/Xbian, one Windows 10 PC, one Windows 8.1 PC, Android 8 tablet). I also use SickChill (formerly SickRage/Sickbear) to automatically download and add TV shows and Couchpotato to add movies (both running on the same server in Docker containers as well). This set-up has worked fine for close to two years now.
Recently I noticed that TV shows are no longer automatically being added to the video database (SickChill generates all metadata for Kodi, stores it locally with the video files and alerts the headless server on new files and initiates a database update; I also additionally have Watchdog running on a number of clients). I can add episodes manually to the database by using "scan for new media" in the context menu either for various shows or on the Videos/<TV Share> section. Scraping via TVDB also works without a problem, as it always did, when I manually update a show.
Movies are being added automatically as was the case before, so it seems the video database itself is alright.
I checked logs on various systems (headless Kodi, Windows clients) and found no errors pertaining to the video database or MySQL/MariaDB. The database looks OK too when I check it on the command line and all new information shows up correctly once I initiate the manual "scan for new media" process. Neither Watchdog nor running a manual database update (through the Yatse Android app) adds new episodes though.
I still was on Kodi 17.6 on all clients, including the headless one when the problems started a few days ago. I since upgraded the headless installation (Docker from linuxserver on unRAID) to Leia (18.0) and the Windows clients and Amazon FireTV client to 18.1, (I'm in the process of setting up Leia on the Raspberry as I recently switched to a 3B+ and only installed the basic system there yet) hoping it maybe would go away, but the problem persists. The database has been updated to the latest version with the upgrade and everything else keeps working fine.
Quick summary on what I already tried/observed:

Quick summary on what I already tried/observed:
- I spent some time trying to debug everything, but neither the logs nor the MariaDB database show any signs of trouble or corruption
- the TVDB scraper works in principle
- episodes are being added whenever new episodes are manually being scanned for through the context menu
- movies are being added as expected (which I guess means the MariaDB database is intact)
- initiating a manual video database update "does nothing"
- Watchdog seems to "do nothing"
