I have over 200 TV series and some of them refuse to be scraped.
I have tried to scrape "Perry Mason (1957)" numerous times using two different scrapers, but it will not scrape that series.... I am pretty sure the files are named correctly. Also, Emby adds information about each episode.

I am including a photo of the series and episodes. What am I missing??

thanks

Perry Mason

Remove the year from the folder name.

That did not work either.
Edit: Tried it on a different media player, and same thing...... Strange.

Worked for me using TMDb TV Show scraper.

EDIT: Also worked with the year.

I guess I can deleted everything except the files itself.........
Do you run Emby also?

Also works using TheTVDB.com Official TV Scraper.

I followed the instructions on creating the log file. Now I get this message, "Error posting Kodi.log file, This file is too large."

Edit: Second try worked. Here is the link to the log.

Your log shows this, which is the problem...
FindMovie: Searching for 'Season 1' using TMDb TV Shows scraper
It shouldn't be searching for "Season 1", it should be searching for "Perry Mason". This usually indicates your source or tv show is incorrectly set.

In this path...

Which folder have you set as the Source? It should be \Emby Series Recordings\

clarkss12 · 2024-02-20, 21:32

When I use Emby series recording, I have the same problem.

I was just using that specific series to make it quicker to scan or scrape.

**Karellen** · 2024-02-20, 21:54

You haven't answered my question.

clarkss12 · 2024-02-20, 23:37

I removed the "Emby Series Recordings" source and adding it back. It is scraping now, and will take awhile. I will post logs after.

Perry Mason series

Fair enough. I guess you don't like answering questions.
I am pretty sure you could have saved yourself all that work if you had answered.

Is this your question?? "Which folder have you set as the Source? It should be \Emby Series Recordings\"

Is so, I thought I had tried to answer your question......

Edit: the "Emby Series Recordings" has bee my source for a long time. I just noticed this issue of Perry Mason. So, to try to figure it out, I deleted that source and re-added it a couple of times. I deleted the information that Emby created, but that did not help either.
Since I was trying different things, I was only scraping the Perry Mason series to make it quicker if any of my changes to the file names made any difference.

Yes.
Tried and actually answering are not the same.

Anyway, I was trying to whittle down the causes, but I'll just jump to what I think the problem is...

The underlined setting should be
disabled on the source and
enabled on the tv show.
I am guessing the setting on the Perry Mason folder is disabled.
But, as you have deleted your library, you can't check now.

My settings look like your photo.
What does this mean? >> "enabled on the tv show."
Edit: I have about 150 TV series in that "Emby Series Recordings" folder. looking at my logs, I also noticed some of my other "shows" have errors and don't show up at all...... That is a different issue, I think.
