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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
