Hi,
Imagegrab lite was working fine for me, but I had not been using NPVR with very many TV channels back then, and was using XBMC.
Now I have Kodi, and more channels....imagegrablite is renaming the files to series.SXEX.title format OK...but for the life of me, I cannot get Kodi to scrape these files and populate the kodi database with the show information. Maybe it doesn't like the file format. Now when I dont rename with the utility and use the --nfo option, imagegrab lite seems to do the right thing and create the .nfo file. But again, Kodi scraper (using TVdb and tried others) doesnt pick it up...so metadata doesnt show up on screen when I select the file.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this one?
BTW....Kodi has no trouble scraping files obtained from places other than NPVR to properly extract metadata.....and pull down art.

PS. Here is an example test file created by IGL from a old show I recorded.....is this malformed?
