Not scanning all seasons of some TV Shows

  • Hello, running Libreelec 9.2.6 Generic on an HP mini PC. For some reason two of my TV shows are not scanning through the whole list of seasons. The worst offender is Midsomer Murders, naming conventions and folder trees are as follows:

    TV folder, then Midsomer Murders (1997) folder, then Season 1 folder, then ms_s01e01.mkv, ms_s01e02.mkv, etc. files.

    So each video file for each season in separate folders under the main folder under the TV folder.

    There's 14 season folders however cannot get Kodi to scan beyond Season 5 despite multiple attempts.

    Now the strange thing is, this is intended as a backup computer, I have another 9.2.6 box (different PC, same video files) that gave me the exact same problem but by changing information providers back and forth and cleaning the library I was finally able to get the TMDB TV Shows provider to scan all seasons correctly.

    Anyhow, I enabled debugging and have a log but it says the file is too big (22mb) to attach, I can cut and paste the error sections mentioning the show into a smaller file and attach if that helps.

    Other TV shows scan fine so don't think it's a naming or folder problem.

    Time zones are set, do get an error that the network does not connect before it boots into Kodi despite enabling the "wait until connection" thing, but like I said everything else scans fine.

    btw I'm using 9.2.6 because it runs much better on my older hardware, I'm aware it's out of date.

    Thank you for your help!

    EDIT: Just saw I need to do this:

    "Do not post your logs directly into the forum,

    use Settings > LE Settings Addon > System > Paste system logs

    and post the link."

    Will try to do this tomorrow

  • Changing the folder/filenames to match the upstream data in thetvdb often resolves issues. So I would use this:

    Midsummer Murders/Season 1/Midsummer Murders s01e01.mkv

  • So found out if I go into Media, then Library, Videos, into the individual seasons NOT showing up I see the filenames (ms_s07e01 etc.).

    Then right-click on each filename and select Scan to Library, it finds the information and done.

    Whatever... /shrug

    Thanks!

    ^ this is in the Kodi log.

    ^ this is in the kernel log. In my experience this sort of error message points to disk corruption, and with SSDs the main reason for that is cell errors (integrity problems in the memory chips) from a drive that's starting to fail.
