The Movie Database Python scraper

[uwescoreelec]

Does anyone know why the Movie Database Python 3.2.0 scraper is no longer working on AM8pro with 22.0-Piers_nightly_20260519.

I haven’t changed anything.

When updating the database, the scraper consistently gets stuck in an infinite loop at around 80%. Shortly thereafter, the AM8pro crashes.

A fresh installation has the same problem.

Everything works perfectly on the x96 with 21.3-Omega_nightly_20251102

Thanks

Working OK on S905X4 with nightly 22.0-Piers_nightly_20260519.

Post you kodi.log and kodi_crash.log

I have just tested the following version additional:

CoreELEC-Amlogic-ne.aarch64-21.3-Omega-Generic.img.gz

and Python works.

And the TVDB v4 on AM8pro with 22.0-Piers_nightly_20260519 also not working!

Some bad recursion? Remove this folder #recycle.

Thanks for reply.

1. I deleted the #recycle folder, and it is indeed working again.

2. However, this #recycle folder has always existed since years—it is the NAS’s Recycle Bin and The scrapers works fine in all other CoreELEC versions.

3. It is only in the version CoreELEC-Amlogic-no.aarch64-22.0-Piers_nightly_… that it no longer works.
   I think it was the update from May 7th or May 8th, 2026.
