[Kodi 21 Beta3] Extract video information from files don't works from "KodiSetup-20240102-751e6c3b" with TV Shows

Meh !! So, what's happening is that there are streamdetails for episodes, but only a duration. Therefore, the test for no streamdetails fails and the file is not probed.

What I need to dig into, is whether that duration is not getting reset correctly, or whether it's coming from the scraper.

The symptom is clear, now to find the root cause and establish a fix.

@Hitcher Yeah, it is. The scraper calls addVideoStream() and adds (just) the duration to it. Therefore HasStreamDetails() returns true, even though it's only a partial detail.

I have a fix which checks for one of the following missing

• Video codec
• video height
• video width
• video duration

If just one of those is missing, then the file will be checked for the details. I don't see a need really to check for missing audio stuff as I don't know of any 3rd party nfo manager that would miss out audio info but include video info. As a minimum, I would expect an nfo file to include all of that list, but if not, then the file will be probed anyway.

In my tests, nfo files are read correctly, even if they contain wrong info (as long as it is present). Refreshing from internet now works correctly for movies and tv shows. Music videos aren't affected as the scraper doesn't return any stream details anyway.

Bit more testing to do but PR should be done soon.

I am seeing this same issue. Noticed this behavior started recently, sometime after the Beta 2 build. The Beta 2 build does not have this issue.

Something else to add, I've confirmed this to be occuring with both the MovieDB TV Shows and the TVDB4 scrapers alike.

@the-black-eagle Having a quick look at the merges after the latest working build 7413267, could possibly be related to this change? #24386

@the-black-eagle pretty sure the duration is coming from the scraper as we show the exact duration including seconds whereas tmdb doesn't.
