RCB won't import all games if roms are in separate directories.

[wanderingconfused]

I have been trying to import all my games to RCB because I love this plugin, but I have found whenever the roms are all kept in separate folders it has issues importing them all. I thought it might be something in the directory name, but

Corpse_Killer_-Graveyard_Edition_Disc_2_of_2(U)(Saturn)/Corpse Killer - Graveyard Edition Disc 2 of 2 (U)(Saturn)/Corpse Killer - Graveyard Edition Disc 2 of 2 (U)(Saturn).bin

imports and

Corpse_Killer_-Graveyard_Edition_Disc_1_of_2(U)(Saturn)/Corpse Killer - Graveyard Edition Disc 1 of 2 (U)(Saturn)/Corpse Killer - Graveyard Edition Disc 1 of 2 (U)(Saturn).bin

doesn't. I also checked permissions and they are all the same. I tried deleting collections and reimporting them and that did nothing, however the directories/roms it skipped were consistent.

I did finally find that if I the directory name just slightly, add or remove one character, it would then scan like it should. I still don't know if it is an issue with my directory structure or if it is RCB.

I am running Ubuntu 16.10, Kodi 17, and RCB 2.1.2. I can supply any other info you would need for debugging.

I wrote a couple scripts. One uses find to check for directory's without .nfo files and one I called catchthemall which renames all directory's without .nfo files and does all the kodi actions to import new games. I don't know if it is relevant or not, but on each pass it calls my first script to keep track of progress. If any games are imported on that pass they are always on the top of the list. Here is some output to show what I mean:

The Incredible Hulk The Pantheon Saga the final game did not import until the 81rst pass through the loop.

The file and path you used in your first example is the same for working and non-working? Or at least I couldn't tell what difference there was.

Are you able to send the log when running RCB in debug mode?

[wanderingconfused]

Second one was supposed to be Disc 1 of 2, I put it in debug mode to look at it myself.

kodi.log.txt

[wanderingconfused]

Update, the only folders having this issue were created or renamed using sed.

[maloep]

Sorry for late response.

Your log file does not show one line of RCB.

From your first post I would say it may be an issue with multiple discs not handled correctly (like in #182).

Your second post looks like there are also games with only one disc that have this issue.
