Hello,
In one of the recent version (can't point which), Kodi has fail to scrap video file info or maybe became more strict with certain file name conventions/formats?
I have files in my "older" video collection that were scanned with success before.
Some file name examples:
I checked with wiki here and here, but couldn't make much sense from this. I remember that Kodi used to be "smart" enough to parse the correct data.
Here is relevant part from the log: https://paste.kodi.tv/simaquhupa.kodi
I can see the HTTP request to the API and the response with cURL. I tried it myself and found that the file with different name format (like after removing video info and other release group stuff) will provide a valid JSON document with the movie information.
Any idea what can I do to solve this or why Kodi's video scrap system has changed?
EDIT:
I noticed that "Annie Hall" was actually looking for a different title, prrobably from the Matroska metadata:
