Hey.
Kodi 18.6 RaspberryPi
Recently I had to redo access to my warehouse of video files. Initially, access was via the SMB protocol, now the same warehouse has become available under the FTP protocol.
I deleted the old media library, cleaned it, and deleted the old source.
Then he added a new source using the FTP protocol.
The source was scanned using the standard add-on The Movie Database.
Films appeared in the Movies section of the main menu. With descriptions, posters, etc.
But there are some very unpleasant problems:
- if you go to the video -> files -> "source name" section, then for all files containing Russian letters in the title, information about the movie is not displayed when highlighted. For example, at the place where the plot of the film should be, the inscription "Information is not available" appears.
At the same time, for those files in the name of which only numbers or letters of the English alphabet are used, this problem is not traced.
If you select a file and call the context menu, then there will not be a button "Details" or "Get information".
- if in the Movies section select one of them and press "confirm", then instead of showing information about the movie, its playback starts. Despite the fact that it is configured to "show information".
- if you select a file in the Movies section and select the "Information" section using the context menu, then the information will be shown, but in the "Actors" section there will be an inscription "Information is not available"
And also, the MOST PLEASANT: there is no "Refresh" button, that is, if the information about the film was not downloaded correctly, then it will not work in any way to fix it.
For a long time I tried to deal with this problem and it seems to me that I found its root.
If you look at the log file, then there we can see, among other things, the following lines:
2020-05-16 21: 13: 03.931 T: 1650365312 DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: Adding new item to movies: ftp://USERNAME:[email protected].0.1: 21/Movies/4.3.2.1 (2010).mkv
2020-05-16 21: 13: 05.385 T: 1650365312 DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: Adding new item to movies: ftp://USERNAME:[email protected].0.1: 21/Movies/16 кварталов (2006).mkv|utf8 = 0
As you can see, when adding a file with Russian letters to its name, the subscript "|utf8=0" is made.
There is a suspicion that this leads to some kind of inconsistency in the structure of the database, which in turn leads to all the problems described above.
I'm not so cool as to say exactly the problems of this scraper or FTP client, but that the problem is a fact.
I would really appreciate it if you could help me solve it.
I still did not understand how to attach the log file completely.
P / S / There is no such problem when using SMB sources.
I apologize for my English through Google translator)
