Yes it will, but why did the scraper instead choose other Movies without any commons. Wether the name nor the content.
For Example "Schulmädchen Report 2 + 9" are Erotic Movies or "SA Mann". What is that, Nazi Propaganda ?? With the other Scraper it utters "Matria" instead of the well known Movie "Matrix", and a Nazi Cross could be seen on the Movie Poster !!
These Films are nasty or showning bad taste and I do not have any of them on my Disk, as you can see in the Logs. But why was the result a bundle of all these Films for only one request.
Should this make "others" believe that all this movies on the Disk ??
I remember, that I sometimes had more movies in the list as physically on the Disk.
By the way the "James Bond Der Mann mit ... " was only one of them, were the Problem occurs.

OK, so the issue seems to be a combination of bad naming practice on your side and a strange list of movies returned from themoviedb.org as a result of your bad naming convention.
How this issue can be linked up with Kodi or the scrapers? Also, how this could be a trojan or a security hole?
You shouldn't expect accurate search results based on incorrect search strings. Kodi or the scraper addons are not suggesting or choosing movies. The search results you get is the listing we get from the site being scraped (in this case themoviedb.org). The only thing what Kodi does with the search results is that it is trying to sort the returned listing by relevance, but once again, the listing and suggestions come from the search engine / API of the scraped sites.
What you can do? Most obviously, just fix your file names and the problem is solved.
Alternatively, you can post on the forum of themoviedb.org and ask them/ complain about the search string 'James Bond 007 - Der Mann mit dem goldenen Colt -uv' returns a listing you don't like.

Hello Olympia
Thank you , as you remember I mentioned, the root cause might be the Metadata source.
By the way are there any alternative Scrapers not using themoviedb ?
To the Point "Search string" please remember, "Matrix" for Example also was affected and this is a well known movie. So it is NOT only a matter of unusual Naming Convention (-uv stands for incomplete in german UnVollständig) and months ago it was perfectly recognized
In addition how does it come that the Metadata Source adds new movies to my list, and what will happen if I try to start them. You asked about security holes, thats the point, could this also contain a link into internet, and would I now download the real "trojan" like in well known phising attacks. That was my Question.
Maybe that this could not happen, but nevertheless it is a bad feeling seeing nasty Movie names crossing the internet combined with my Ip Address and I do not know anything about that, because the Metadata Source sents a wrong and strange suggestion list, unseen in the background. I would never expect that because, I do not have any of this Movies.
I think I will contact themoviedb.org after holidays for clarification, meanwhile I had deactivated the scrapers.
regards and Merry X-Mas
