I was wondering if this is the correct place to post for suggestions.

Would it possible to add an option to play any extras once the main movie has finished playing OR ask the user if they would like to watch them if any extras exist of course.

Is there a way to start this addon from a button in skin?
I now there are other extras addons this would be simpler with a runscript, but i need this addon to start from a button from skin!

How can UTF-8/non-ASCII characters in file names be handled? I have at least a few movies with extras that have non-ASCII characters in the file names. I've put the relevant log lines in the pastebin below. The Extras directory being loaded at the time contains (non-ASCII filenames are marked with an asterisk

):
'Denizens of the Galazy: Humans and Aliens.m4v'
'Enhancement Pod: Alpha Introduction.m4v'
'Enhancement Pod: Boulan Bathor Emperor.m4v'
'Enhancement Pod: Destruction of Mül.m4v'*
'Enhancement Pod: Emperor Haban-Limaï.m4v'*
'Enhancement Pod: Empress Aloï.m4v'*
'Enhancement Pod: Igon Siruss.m4v'
'Enhancement Pod: Kris Wu 4D Scan.m4v'
'Enhancement Pod: Kris Wu Set Tour.m4v'
'Enhancement Pod: K-Trons.m4v'
'Enhancement Pod: Melo the Converter.m4v'
'Enhancement Pod: Motion Capture Cameras.m4v'
'Enhancement Pod: Paradise Alley.m4v'
'Enhancement Pod: Pearl Guns.m4v'
'Enhancement Pod: Princess Lĩho-Minaa.m4v'*
'It Takes Two: Valerian & Laureline'\''s Partnership.m4v'
'Paper-Ink-Flesh-Blood: Origins.m4v'
'The Final Element: Visual Effects.m4v'
'To Alpha and Beyond: Production and Stunts.m4v'

@kbpickens

Can you post the full Debug Log thanks. A tiny piece of the puzzle is not enough. Make sure debug mode is enabled.

@kbpickens

Thanks. I can confirm the problem.

The developer @takoi will need to look at the issue. Hopefully he visits soon.

Hi, I found out a problem with Extras addon. When I try to open the Extras folder it shows only "Search on YouTube" and nothing else.
I use a NAS to store all files + MySql for Kodi database.
The folder structure is like: "Videos/TV Shows/TV Show/Extras".

Here is the debug log
For my advancedsettings.xml, I just added the part to exclude extra folders from scrapping.

@venda3

It seems like you have a permissions issue accessing your files as shown in the below log messages. Could you try fixing that and testing again?

xml:

I will merge these posts into the Extras thread.

That is the weird thing, when I try to play any video it plays, there is no issue with the password.

So, today I found out that I had duplicate media source to the same place after removing one of them the credential conflict disappeared. However that is not the error. I slightly modified the Extras addon (only locally) and found out that the Routing library is changing the address when it contains special characters (like czech á) and then Extras can not find anything in the path.
Here is the part of debug log and how i modified the Extras addon logging
So it seems like I have to change all paths in MySQL + server to something without special characters Sad

Issue when fanart is missing?

Hi, I've got the Extras add-on running in Kodi 18.4 on a Raspberry Pi 4. The add-on seems to work fine in general but I've recently added one movie with extras that the add-on doesn't show - instead it pops up an error message on the GUI and refers to the logs. The logs are somewhat cryptic (to me) but seem to relate to a piece of code looking for fanart (Error Type: <type 'exceptions.KeyError'>, Error Contents: 'fanart').

I went back and checked and it seems that the specific movie causing the error - unless other ones where the Extras add-on works fine - does not have a fanart picture. Is this a known issue, and if so what could I do to fix it?

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.

**Karellen** · 2019-10-23, 21:54

No, it is not a known issue, and I doubt the fanart error has anything to do with Extras add-on. Provide the full log and we may be able to figure out the problem.

Also a screenshot of the Extras folder may help.

I used VideoExtras for as long as it worked but now I'm looking for a replacement addon. I downloaded and installed this addon but it won't show my extras. I have not changed anything regarding naming or placement of folders and files.

My folder an filenaming look like this:

\Movie (Year)\Extras\#1 Menu Item 1 #1 Sub Menu Item 1.mkv etc...
\Movie (Year)\Movie (Year).mkv

The Source folder name has the letter Å (å) in it.

I am using Kodi 19 HDR Alpha and Kodi 18, and it's not working on either installation.

I am getting an error when accessing extras that consists of mpg-files and has the letters æ or ø or å in them.

Seems to be the same issue reported by venda3 a few posts up.

The developer @takoi will need to provide a solution
