Hello all. I'm having some consistency issues with ImageGrabLite. I have NPVR recording a few shows, schedulesdirect account feeding the EPG, shows are saved to a networked share, and then that drive being read by Kodi. Kodi wasn't reading the files right, which led me to IGL.
So initially I set IGL with the switches --rename --zap2it --nfo. It wasn't creating the nfo files, which I stumbled on to that it only does that if it can't rename the file. It did rename the first file, but the name was huge. So before we go any further, at the end of all of this, I'm going to want my config to just create the nfo file and leave the filename alone (--zap2it --nfo --season).
So, the first file is imagegrablite.log.3 which IGL did rename the file and it worked in Kodi but the filename was huge (I realized later I don't want them so huge). I won't know for a few hours if just doing it with the NFO file and without the rename will work in my Kodi setup, but I can post more on that tomorrow.
Between this one above, and the ones below, I got to reading (and struggling with the series below where the failures start) and I changed the post processing.bat file to first do a rename and then create a nfo regardless (based on this).
Moving on, imagegrablite.log.2 is where the failures start. Same first command string, but it didn't rename or create the NFO. In doing some digging I think this may be because TVDB doesn't have updated info on this series, but I didn't discover that till later. Imagegrablite.log.1 is the second half of the command line, just forcing the nfo creation. It didn't do it either, same error.
I then started digging and found the TVDB issue may be part of the problem. And with the name issue, I changed the command line to just create the nfo, don't rename, and I added the --season option so that it wouldn't check anything online and just use the EPG data as that should be good enough for these shows (but I'm not 100% sure on that yet). Imagegrablite.log is the attempt with that string, and again, failure. FYI I recorded the same show again between logs 3/2 and 1 (I did delete it before it recorded again if that makes a difference); just changing the command line to try to get IGL working.
So can someone point me in the right direction to get this working?? Thanks!!
