Raiders of the Lost Ark and... Kodi
#1
Please, help me understand how is Kodi (The Movie DB scraper) acting with "Raiders of the Lost Ark" movie in my database.

The file is stored in Samba share under following file and path:

Code:
smb://DYSK/5_TB/Filmy/Filmy/Przygodowe/Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).mkv

The file is not being scraped and added to the library (the three other "Indiana Jones", sitting next to it in the same folder, are added correctly).

The file was released in 1981, but three years later (1984) in Poland. The source pointing to that file has language set to pl-PL and that is my assumption on why it is skipped and not scraped.

The file is not scraped, so I cannot access it through library (and I have some troubles accessing it through file browser). But... I can access it through "Sets" section in Kodi. When I go there and open "Indiana Jones set" I see all four movies. If I go to the corresponding source / folder / library part, I see only three of them. What am missing here? How can Kodi scrap something to "sets" and not scrap it it the regular library.

The above is just my curiosity. The real question is, what should I do with files like that?

I think I have couple of options:
  1. Rename file to: "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1984).mkv" to match release date for Poland in The Movie DB
  2. Change source's language to en-EN, so the scraper starts looking for the United States / English / Worldwide release date and match file with "1981" in file name
  3. Something else? Some other, better option.
Can you help me picking the best resolution here? Thank you.

In my collection, that film is titled "Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)", and that is how it appears in The Movie DB.
