I have several DVDs and BDs that are copies of the original discs. That is (generally) you have the entire DVD (or BD) folder structure. That is under a folder with the title of the movie. I want to have a source content, one for DVDs, one for BDs. But I can't set the scanner appropriately . I set the flag that says "movies are in selected folder with movie title". Also set no recursive scan. But when I scan content to library, it uses  "VIDEO.TS" (or STREAM for BD) as the movie title.

How should I do this?

TIA

This usually indicates your Source is incorrectly set.

Make sure you folder levels are as follows. If you have set anything else as your source, then that may be the problem. Is there any reason you disabled recursive scanning?

f:\Movies1\The Matrix (1999)\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO

Movies1 = Kodi Source
The Matrix (1999) = Movie Directory
VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO = playable file

VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO = playable file

My set up looks the same (note that this is on linux (osmc):

Code:

"/NAS/DVD/The Matrix(1999)/VIDEO_TS/...", where "/NAS/DVD" is set as the source - name "DVD"
or for BDs:
"/NAS/BD/The Beastmaster (1982)/BDMV/...", where "/NAS/BD" is set as the source - name "BD"

Below each of the title folders is the disc structure copied exactly as is.

I turned off recursive because I thought the scanner would keep scanning the folders below the title folder. I have both "Movies are in separate folders that match the title" and "Selected folder contains a single movie" flags set. Is that correct?

So far it is looking correct.

Can you first add both the following to your advancedsettings.xml file...


(sorry, if I paste the actual string, it gets corrupted by the forum software)
and

xml:
<video>

    <excludetvshowsfromscan action="prepend">

		<regexp>[\\/](auxdata|backup|clipinf|playlist|stream|certificate)[\\/]</regexp>

		<regexp>movieobject\.bdmv</regexp>

        <regexp>/extras/</regexp>

        <regexp>[\\/]extras[\\/]</regexp>

    </excludetvshowsfromscan>

</video>

Test if you still have problems. If you do, please provide a Debug Log which captures the problem.

I did add those lines to my advancedsettings.xml file. No luck.
But I found a problem: corrupted db. I spent some time going through the MyVideos116 db (yes, I did do a backup ) and found some things that shouldn't be there. FYI: I know enough SQL to be dangerous. After the backup, I went through that db and deleted all data (movies, tvshow/episdodes, files, paths, links, etc.) At that point I had a working, but empty library. Had kodi scan my BD folder, and yes, it worked. The scanner found all of the BD folders, which it used for the titles.

Now I have another problem. Maybe it should be a new thread. Some of the BDs OSMC can't play, mostly those with navigation. But I can't get to any of the .m2ts files, that are under the top folder (BDMV->STREAM->...). Is there a setting somewhere to allow me to search those folders, instead of kodi just trying  to play the movie?

I'm not too concerned at the moment with this, since there are only a few that won't play. But I do want to get it working at some point.

Thanks greatly for responding to me.

Yep, best you start a new thread for the question, or ask at the OSMC forum. I am not sure how OSMC deals with blurays.

issue solved with osmc upgrade that has v19.

v19 works great (so far). kudos.
