Scrape unavailable episodes on tmdb

[Bahaa880]

In my country dubbed version of each episode is spilt into several small episodes that increase the number of episodes of the original show example if a show has 5 episodes on tmdb my country will be 15 episodes so make it scrape unavailable episode and the thumbnail will be extracted by Kodi from the video file.

I don't see how that is possible.

The scraper does not create data. The scraper is just an interface between Kodi and TMDB. It can only download and display what TMDB provides.

I can't even think of an easy way to get around that issue.

You could create nfo files for the other episodes, but even that is problematic as you would need to bump the episode numbers for each subsequent entry.
You could add a new "Alternate" listing to the entry at TMDB, which is also a lot of work and I am not sure how supportive the mods will be if you do that.
Both methods require a lot of work and I would expect simply merging the extra files into a single episode will be a whole lot quicker and easier.

As stated, there is nothing "automatic" the scraper or Kodi could do to resolve this.

Which tv show is it? Can you provide the tmdb link.

@KarellenX i don't want it to create data just add them as unknown example s2e5 add as episode 5 with no information about the episode or thumbnail then Kodi will generate custom thumbnail from the video file it self just like Plex and emby they still add unavailable episodes with no metadata
TV show: [https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/274556-uzak-sehir]
I download it from [https://wecima.watch/series/%d9%85%d9%88%d8%b3%d9%85-1-%d9%85%d8%af%d8%a8%d9%84%d8%ac-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%85%d8%af%d9%8a%d9%86%d8%a9-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%a8%d8%b9%d9%8a%d8%af%d8%a9/] you need to translate the site this the dubbed version

Give this a try... https://github.com/scott967/metadata.common.filenamescraper/releases

Not sure if it still works, but maybe @scott967 might help out if it doesn't.

I tried it this is for movies not TV Shows. Kodi should work with 2 scrapers instead of 1 example if tmdb scraper didn't find the episode the other scraper adds the episode number from the file name.
I think it's not possible now maybe in the far future
