Content filter in the scraper
#1
I am a new Kodi user and did my first install and scrape over the past week. I was very impressed with how good a job it did in finding and adding movies to the list properly. There were a couple hitches. It picked the wrong movie for The Bad News Bears. Not a big deal, I didn't specify the year. I get it. However, in the case The Natural, it picked an adult film with a graphic cover. Again, I get it. The titles match. But since I've got kids, a nice feature would be to have the option to limit scraper content. I can check all my scrapes. It's not a huge hardship. Still, peace of mind in case I haven't had my coffee that day and forget, or my boys would try to use the "refresh" to view things I don't want them viewing. I'm not naive. I work in IT and have to secure servers and databases. There are ways around everything. Doesn't mean I don't throw up roadblocks wherever I can. And truth be told, given what I know about the internet, there are things I don't want to accidentally see either. Optional content filtering addresses that as well.

By default it should already filter out adult content when scraping and has to be enabled manually.

Firstly, that's great to know. Maybe it was a mix-up at the source database. I'm at work, but tonight I'll try to reproduce the issue. Here are what details I have from memory.

I'm running Openelec 6.0.3 on a Raspberry Pi 3. I had accepted the defaults during install (or so I think), and no add-ons were present (I've since added the YouTube plugin). I'm using whatever the default scraper is, "The Movie Database", I think. The video source is a read-only NFS share from a QNAP NAS on my network (both the NAS and Pi are on the same subnet). The filename in question was originally titled "natural.mkv", and is the baseball film, "The Natural", from 1984. What the scraper returned was a movie called "Natural", and that was not Robert Redford on the cover/poster. Smile Changing the filename to "the_natural.mkv" seemed to sort out the confusion.

Again, I'll see if I can reproduce the issue this evening. Thanks for the quick reply.

Actually you can check for yourself. Just go to The Movie Database website (www.themoviedb.org). Do a search for "natural" and it's the first item listed under "Movies". The classic starring Robert Redford comes in a distant 3rd behind something called "Natural City".

However I think this may be an issue with the Movie Database website itself. I happened to notice that while Natural City and The Natural have genres listed in their entries (Science Fiction and Drama, respectively), the porno has no genre associated with it, so it's probably not getting filtered.

Can you confirm this to be the case with how Kodi's scraper would react? If so, I'll drop the Movie Database a note to update their metadata.
