This one is wrong. You used the TV Show template for episodes. It won't work. See how it says <tvshow> on the second and last lines. Use the Episode template here for episodes... https://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files/TV_show...late_nfo_2

Also, the UniqueID needs to be unique/different. Maybe the one inside tvshow.nfo can just be <uniqueid type="podcast" default="true">2020coulo</uniqueid>
Of course each episode needs to have a different uniqueID. They can't all be the same.

Yep if you don't want to add any more info, then it all looks ok.

Does it work?

Also I am not sure if thumb.png works. I think it might have to be jpg.

Hello, sorry yesterday I wasn't able to send more message, I reached the limit of 9 messages. Can you increase this limit?

Unfortunatly I still don't see anything visible in Kodi. I really don't know why...

Enable setting 3.6- Show empty TV shows here... https://kodi.wiki/view/Settings/Media/Videos and check if the tv show is in your library without episodes.

I need two things from you...

1. Screenshot of your tv show folder so I can see everthing in it.
2. A Debug Log which captures you trying to scrape the show.

Your previous post triggered your account upgrade from newbie to junior member. Guess what one of the new priv's you now have should be... Smile

Yes. According to the log, it was scanned into your library. You can see that on line 934.

I just copied your nfo file contents from a few posts back, named the tv show and episodes exactly as your screenshot shows, and it was scanned into my library correctly.

Did you enable that setting?

yes I enabled the setting and scanned again, but it's still empty...

Maybe I forget one step to scan my library?

I don't know how to help you any further.
Your NFO files work.
Your log confirms the show being scanned into the library.

The last thing I can suggest is go to Videos>Files and locate /Autres/couleurslocales2020RTS/Cuolo S2020E0828.mp4
Call up the Context Menu and select scan item to library.

If that does not work, then I have no other information that I can give you.

Hello, I really don't understand what's going wrong.

I have an idea: can you send me a zip archive with a "simple" structure with a folder and 1 small video and metadata files who work on your media center? I can try it on my media center.

Download one of the rar files from here... https://github.com/KarellenX/NFO-Files/releases

What GENREs are available for nfo files? I would like to organize Documentaries into subcategories. E.g.; History, Music, Environmental, Food, etc.
Is this possible?

Thank you. Hope you enjoy your TODAY!
