CouchPotato not finding all of my films, logs show a lot of "unable to determine media" "no imdb"

CouchPotato isn't not finding all of my films on FreeNas, logs show a lot of "unable to determine media" and "no imdb_id found".

Trying to get everything setup, but maybe 1/4 of my films are showing up here. I know they're present in the directory since they work perfectly with Plex and I can access the root files, but can not for the life of me figure out where to go on this one. As far as I can gather, it's an issue with NFO files, but I have no idea on where I should be going to try to fix this. I've had couchpotato on my main rig and it was able to catch a hell of a lot more than it does now, but I'm wondering if I've accidentally deleted something during all of the transfers.

Anyone experience this before? Any insight would be great.

Maybe you can clean out your logs, then run a "Full library refresh" and see if it complains about not being able to identify the movies it doesn't show.
On all the systems I've setup I always have CP create "Only IMDB ULR" NFOs. These always gets instantly recognized by couchpotato / Kodi / Emby / Plex.

This doesn't sound FreeNAS specific so you might want to ask on the CP forums as well. They might be able to better diagnose the problem.

Yeah, just tried the same thing. I've narrowed the problem down though, lack of NFO files. Not sure why it works for some films and not others, but at least I have an answer for the most part.
