Extras Add On and Still Scraping Extras Folders

  • Hi There, First post. Been using Kodi LibreElec for a few months now.

    I have the Extras add on installed and enabled.

    I have followed the Kodi Wiki to add the code to the advancedsetting.xml and have placed it in the userdata folder via SSH.

    I have also done this successfully on my windows system, although years ago.

    Unfortunately, the extras still scrape as a Chinese documentary from 2001. And I end up with many entries of the movie in my library.

    Am I missing something?

    Help please. And Thanks.

  • How did you create advancedsettings,xml: did you write the file in nano on the Pi or did you create the file in Windows in, say, Notepad? If it's the latter, you may be having a problem with Windows vs Unix style formatting... CR/LF line endings vs. LF only. If that might be the case, try either editing the file in a Unix friendly editor to remove the extra CRs or recreate the file from scratch in nano or a Windows editor that's designed for this (Notepad++ can do it... there's also several Windows ports of vi available)
