Hi and thank you for this wonderful application. 
Movies are working great for me, tv-shows though, no luck yet.

TL;DR: debug_log
Details below

As you can see in the log, I am using 18.7 on raspbian(retropie).
My source is a SMB share from ny NAS. The source is <ip:adress>TV-Serier
The structure underneath should follow the naming convention, as per naming_video_files/tvshows
i.e. I have folders with the name of the show and year of release like:
-TV-Serier (source)
--Homeland (2011)
---Season 1
----Homeland (2011) S01E01
----Homeland (2011) S01E02
----etc, etc
---Season 2
---etcetc

It finds information about all the individual episodes, it seems.
It still complains about the show-folder itself, or sometimes the season folder
Full debug below but here are some examples:
2024-03-02 23:00:51.089 T:2598113472 WARNING: No information found for item 'smb://192.168.0.130/TV-Serier/A Discovery of Witches (2018)/Season 1/', it won't be added to the library.
2024-03-02 23:01:10.727 T:2767044800 WARNING: No information found for item 'smb://192.168.0.130/TV-Serier/Homeland (2011)/', it won't be added to the library.

you're running an unsupported version of Kodi (18.7) on an OS that no longer exists (Raspbian) - https://www.raspberrypi.com/software

@izprtxqkft
I'm pretty sure it's the latest version of retropie anyway...
I guess I am shit out of luck? I can try to build a newer Kodi version and end up in some kind of hell-hole of packages that need updating.

Unless I just knew how TV-Show scraping worked at the 18.7 point in Kodis history, of course...

[izprtxqkft]

kodi doesn't release or maintain retropie
kodi doesn't even release packages for retropie nor does it release packages for Raspbian or RaspiOS, those are all provided by them

so if you have a complaint with your OS then you're on the wrong forum

Yep, the scraper you are using on your version of Kodi is broken.
metadata.tvshows.themoviedb.org

You need to update to the newer Python scrapers. Noone is maintaining the older xml scrapers.

Thanks a lot for the reply @Karellen, that makes a lot of sense and you made my evening.
A final question here then: what version did the python scraper release?
I'm willing to hack around myself and see if I can get a higher version on my shitty retropie build, or build from source and put in the python-scraper if old releases are tagged in repo or smth.

I'm perfectly aware that Kodi doesnt and shouldnt care about this old of a release... So thx again

[Karellen]

what version did the python scraper release?

Python scrapers came along with v19 and python 3.x.
V18 and earlier was using insecure python 2.x
These are the scrapers that are maintained and you want to use...

Movies...

Not maintained anymore.
I actually thought it was removed from the repo. I'll check it.
But there is no equivalent TV Show python scraper, which is what the OP is having problems with.

[Lexforce]

I've seen people get their Kodi to 19.5 on their retropie-based systems so I'm happy just getting that info from you guys (that >19 would probably work).
Trying to mash python scrapers into 18.7 would probably be a headache.

Or I can just give up and get a newer OS running on my HW. But I think I'm gonna try for the hell of it...

i understand nothing for leia is maintained
i trust you know what you're talking about but the link i gave was for "metadata.tvshows.themoviedb.org.python"

whether or not it works is a completely different story, only answering a question as i already pointed out this is 'unsupported' so support is just not possible

[Karellen]

but the link i gave was for "metadata.tvshows.themoviedb.org.python"

Oops. Thanks.
My memory must be a bit flaky.
Last update was 3 years ago, so not maintained. I don't know if it still works though.
