Hi
I have problem that has been bugging me for a couple of weeks. After rippeing a lot of DVDs and using kodi for the first time
i want to use the movie scraper and the TheMovieDatabase.

However the scraper does not seesm to work when I run it fro Kodi, I suspect the problem is that KOdi doesnt wrap the CURL command in single quotes, but im not sure, and in any case I dont know how to fix it.

I get this message (with debugging turned on)

If I run the associated CURL command from the command line it doesnt work if I just copy and past what Kodi does, but only if I enclose the command in single quotes
i.e

<pre>
curl -v 'http://api.tmdb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=57983e31fb435df4df77afb854740ea9&query=Valkyrie&year=2008&language=en'

By the way here is a link of the discussion I had with people at the movie database forum about the issue

https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/55c76e01...05c80024aa

Kodi sees ISO files kinda like zip files. Technically, ISO is not a media file which it can recognize. If you use a program like DVD decrypt ant convert it to .vob files and what not, Kodi should be able to pick them up.

**Martijn** · 2015-09-06, 15:53

i have many ISO files without any problems so don't give silly advise to convert it

**PatK** · 2015-09-06, 18:20

Silly is in the eye of the beholder, seems you have a particular point of view. The message was purloined from SlackMaster http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=136339 post #3 and noting others as myself recommend conversion I felt if appropriate to post, your message is an attitude rather than solution to the OP's issue, if you have updated information please feel free to educate us all.

**Martijn** · (This post was last modified: 2015-09-06, 18:29 by Martijn.)

His issue is a connection problem and not a problem with detection of the ISO file.
If you look at his log you clearly see that it was detected, themoviedb did return actual valid data url for that specific movie but kodi could not open it at that specific moment.
The post you refer to is wrong that you need to extract it.

perthi · (This post was last modified: 2015-10-03, 23:20 by perthi.)

I think it is not a matter of wether the file is on .iso format or not, because the scraper only looks at the name of the folder
to deduce the film. By looking at what kodi does by inspecting the log files in debug mode, it seems that everything is in principle OK and that the correct search string is used. Also, the errro is the same if I mount the iso to have direct access to the VOB files etc..

Seems to me the only problem is tat the database query is not enclosed in single quotes, so curl cert confused

When I enclose the search string that kodi uses in single quotes, then I get the expected result. regardless of wether it is an ISO or not.

Please have alook at the discussion here too.

So if a run the curl command that kodi uses, for one of the movies I get this result

curl -v http://api.tmdb.org/3/search/movie?api_k...anguage=en

If I run exactly the same command, with single quotes around the search string, I get this (which is what i expect)

curl -v 'http://api.tmdb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=57983e31fb435df4df77afb854740ea9&query=Valkyrie&year=2008&language=en'
