Local Files Addon Fails to Display Downloaded Content in Series and Movies Sections

[KijtIlHijrow]

Describe the bug

The Local Files addon does not display any downloaded content in the "Series" and "Movies" sections, despite files being present and the add-on being installed. There is no error message; the addon simply fails to show the content.

To Reproduce

1. Open Stremio.
2. Navigate to 'Series' or 'Movies'.
3. Attempt to view episodes or movies that have been downloaded locally and should be accessible via the Local Files addon.
4. Observe that the Local Files addon does not load or display the downloaded content.

Expected behaviour

I expected the Local Files addon to display the episodes and movies that I downloaded through Stremio in the respective 'Series' and 'Movies' sections, allowing for easy access and organisation of local content.

Please tell us: What are the names of example files? Where are files located, is this an network disk? Do you have windows indexing enabled? Do you have local addon enabled in the settings?

It is not possible to parse these file names as series files names they are missing basic stuff as season episode indicator like S01E01

That did indeed fix them, thanks so much! Just figured that having downloaded them from Stremio, no modifications were necessary. Cheers, Tomasz!
