hey guys - still getting more errors every few hours - let me know if you want a new log.

[Happy2Play 8296]

From what I see in the log appears to point to here but can't see why.

You also might want to edit your screenshots and remove your ip.

Thanks, i removed the screenshots.

No, that's just a random message placed there due to asynchronous operations.  I don't think it is related to the error.

 

Look in your Meet The Parents folder.  Anything fishy looking in there?

 

Do you have metadata saved in xml or nfo files that were created by some other program?

Yes! It looks like the trailer got picked up as a movie:

 

If I just delete everything but the trailer file and rename it with "-trailer" in it, that should fix it right?

Edited January 6, 2015 by tp546

[ebr 14930]

The fact that it is in a Trailers folder should have prevented that.

 

Maybe there is a problem related to the fact that this is a DVD rip.  What is in the folder above that trailers one?

[tp546 39]

it looks normal to me:

[ebr 14930]

What's in that movie.nfo file?

[tp546 39]

just metadata it looks like:

[tp546 39]

i should probably also mention i normally use metabrowser but that ignores the trailers folders too...

[tp546 39]

i removed all the files from the trailers folder other than the video file and renamed it, but i am still getting the same error every few hours - let me know what else i can do. thanks!

not sure if it's related but it seems some of your "parent" rated content has too long of a file/path name:

you could try removing the parent related media folder(from MBS) and try to scan or move the items up a few folders or so

 

(again just guessing, but hey if you have the time ^^)

 

 

Other than that try removing (and placing somewhere safe in the meanwhile) .nfo files meta-data etc etc so it's just the audio and video_ts folders left.

thanks - i moved the whole folder up 2 levels and deleted the .nfo file in the other directory. i am still unable to get through a full library scan though.

[Happy2Play 8296]

Is the scan stopping at the same spot?  Check the last folder scanned just like your previous log showed.  Or post a new log, please.

I wasn't watching closely enough to tell. Here is a new log:

[Happy2Play 8296]

Looks to be pointing to the same place (Meet the Parents).  How did you rename the trailer?  Have you tried removing the trailer folder from meet the parents directory?

 

Don't know if this applies to Media browser but shouldn't trailers for DVD rips be VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS-trailer.* (From XBMC/Kodi Forum) or just reside in VIDEO_TS folder?

I named it "meet the parents-trailer.mkv". No I haven't - I don't think I should have to. 

 

This is the same way all my trailers are and this is the first problem I have encountered. The majority of them were downloaded automatically and placed in the folders by metabrowser.

[Happy2Play 8296]

No I haven't - I don't think I should have to. 

But this could identify exactly where the issue is.

 

Since you are using trailer folders have you tried renaming the trailer to trailer.*?

 

example from wiki

/Movies

   /Home Alone (1990)

     Home Alone (1990).mkv

     /trailers

         trailer.mkv

I just searched and I have 152 trailers folders in my DVD Movies, so I don't know why this one would be the only problem. None of them are named "trailer.*" either. I can try renaming this one instance but I don't think it will help.

[tp546 39]

I just did that and it failed again...

[Luke 37116]

try the dev build that just went up

[tp546 39]

looks like it worked!
