File:  "Falcon Lake (Charlotte Le Bon, 2022).mkv"
I have  "Falcon Lake (Charlotte Le Bon, 2022).nfo" with content "https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11448830/'
Moviedb movie: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/946127-...uage=en-US

Why is not finding it? Any easy thing I can add in the .nfo file?

Rename the folder Falcon Lake (2022) and remove the NFO file, then refresh info.

as a standard practice, if your file/folder name cannot be searched on tmdb then it is probably not going to get through the scraper either

since the scraper has to use that name to search tmdb itself


try Falcon Lake (Charlotte Le Bon, 2022)

and then Falcon Lake

I understand I can try to change the name of the movie.
But I'd like to avoid this if I can just change the contents of the .nfo file. It works better for me
Is there a way of doing it?

Incidentally, trying "Falcon Lake (2022)" doesn't work in https://www.themoviedb.org/ either

if you want to use "local information" (NFO) set your source's content to "local information only"

For some reason Kodi is not seeing your nfo file.
How have you named the file?
Where have you saved it?
Is the file encoding UTF8?

I didn't say it would work in the webpage search but renaming the folder Falcon Lake (2022) definitely works in the scraper.

https://www.themoviedb.org/search?langua...&year=2022

the scraper extracts the year, when it knows it - https://github.com/xbmc/metadata.tvshows...ns.py#L223

but kodi has to find it in the title in a format it understands first in order to send it to the scraper

Nope.
If a Parsing nfo file is being used, none of that matters. It will just follow the valid link in the nfo file.

maybe it is supposed to but line 512 of the log provided shows it tried with the filename query=Falcon%20Lake%20(Charlotte%20Le%20Bon%2c%202022)&year=

Yep, because the vidoescanner could not find the nfo file, which is why I asked my questions in post#6
If the nfo file had been found, you would not see that line in the log.

Interesting. The following worked

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movi...&year=2023
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movi...&year=2022
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movi...con%20Lake

That movie has some fields for 2023 and some for 2022

You were right!
There was a typo in the file name (I saw it when I looked in my Linux samba share)
Now everything works with the .nfo file (as it usually does)

Thanks a lot!
