Error when running addon

[bartolomesoriano]

@Angelinas1 , I am trying this addon in Matrix (Kodi 19.1 64bit, Windows 10), and get this error when running it from Program Addons:

Please let me know if you need a debug log. Thanks.

@bartolomesoriano

Can you write what is name (Title) for Movie.I suspect that have some special character in name. illegal_char = ' -<>:"/|?*%'

[bartolomesoriano]

@Angelinas1 , I do not know, since I started the addon from Program Addons. If I provide you with a debug log will the name of the movie be there?

[Angelinas1]

For Log, Need to enable 'Debug' in addon settings. Then start from Program Addons.

if you have a large collection the search will take a long time. Better try to read last "downloadreport.txt" in ...Kodi\userdata\addon_data\script.artwork.downloader\

[bartolomesoriano]

@Angelinas1 , the addon did not get to create a downloadreport.txt. I enabled debug in the addon settings and debug logging in Kodi, and you are correct, the movie where it is stopping has special characters: "Céline and Julie Go Boating". Is this something you can fix? I have a lot of movies with accented characters in the title.

@Angelinas1 , this is the report I get from running it with just that movie in solo mode:

I have enabled "Use Local Files" in the addon settings, since I do not want the addon to overwrite the artwork I already have.

I am not running the addon for just one movie, though, I want to run it against my complete collection, to get any artwork that I am missing.

_search_movie starts when "No valid imdbnumber found" Are you scrape your movie with TMDB or UMS ? Mine Library was scrape with UMS and have valid imdbnumber ..._search_movie didnt start to look in tmdb. Please scrape only this movie with ums and start AD again.

[bartolomesoriano]

@Angelinas1 , to be clear then, the movies need to have a valid imdbnumber for AD to work?

[Angelinas1]

yes :) Just try scrape with tmdb and have same log like you....didnt try to search all collection . [B]Artwork Downloader:[/B]

@Angelinas1 , the only scraper I use is the local files one (NFO). I use Tinymediamanager to get all of the metadata and artwork, and the create the NFOs. I redid the movie with tmm, and refreshed it in Kodi, and made sure it had a valid imdbnumber.

Tried again and now there is no ID not found in the AD log. I thought all of my movies had a valid imdbnumber, but I guess there are many that do not. I will have to go through slowly and fix this, since my collection is about 8300 movies. Thanks for your help.

Tnx Bart... In future I will try to remove-ignore special character, to avoid this error.
