One season will simply now scan :(
#1
Hello,

I am having an issue where kodi refuses to scan one folder/season and I can't understand why. They seam properly named and follow the same order as IMDB and nothing abnormal shows up in the logs. FYI I use kodi 19 on debian testing.

Here are the file names / permissions:
Parent folder
drwxrwxrwx 1 samsquanche samsquanche    54 May  4 01:09 'Disenchantment (2018)'

That's why there is a debug log (wiki) that you can provide, via a pastebin website.
Filenames is one thing, handling them is another.

First season: all dots.
Third season: no dots.
Just an observation.

Yeah, that's not our first weapon of choice. Smile

Okay.. File permissions are not the problem. Apparently there are differences in episode numbering between the IMDB listing and what the TMDB scraper offers.
See https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/73021-dise...nt/seasons

Check the episode count at IMDB. Season 1 = 10 episodes, Season 2 = 10 episodes, Season 3 = 10 episodes
TMDB has Season 1 = 20 episodes, Season 2 = 10 episodes...

You'll need to rename/renumber your episodes accordingly.

Hello,

Well I had kodi on an android box but with Kodi 19 I had all sorts of issues. Since I have a few Windows 10 mini pc's gathering dust I installed Fedora and kodi 19 on one but once in awhile kodi would crash opening a menu. An now I am on debian testing / kodi 19 and it still crashes in a menu once in awhile, since it rarely happened and its a known issues I didn't change my setup again expecting a probable fix with the next update. Also there's +- 50 000 videos in my Kodi database and this season is pretty much the only thing that refuses to scan...

I removed the show, cleaned the database, scanned the folder to library, it still only adds season one and two: here is the log pastebin

Thanks

How interesting... Wikipedia also has it with 20 in season 1 10 in season 2...

Thank you

It gets better... TIL that apparently TMDB now also applies Netflix-type 'episode groups', which has the 10 ep per season.
You'll need to get your hands a bit dirty though. See https://kodi.wiki/view/Naming_video_file...B-TV_Shows
