Actually I just re-watched the scene in motion, and it's even worse than that.

They actually have the tape going to the inner side of the takeup reel, but that reel is actually turning the correct direction - so if this was real, tape would be feeding out from both reels, and ending up on the floor.

Well, I confirmed that the bizarro text at the top of the Y axis is not in fact part of the Y axis. If you set the style of the Y axis tick labels to plain, so it doesn't use scientific notation:

>>> plt.ticklabel_format(axis="y", style="plain")

... that one bizarro value is still shown in scientific format.

I don't recall if matplotlib supports multiple scales/sets of ticks on an axis, so I'm not sure where that value is coming from. I looked at the data generated by your code and didn't see anything weird.

I think you need either a matplotlib expert, or a user discussion group. Or at least someone who's used matplotlib more recently than the Clinton administration...

@sinbad I thought this was an april fools joke of you .... and had to double check the post date. #wat indeed!

So much this. I love Kodi half the time, and the other half of the time I'm glad it's just software that I can't be convicted of murdering with an axe to the face.

For one category of videos (TV shows), I have my own naming convention / directory hierarchy, and Kodi just Does Not Want to Know About It. I end up leaving that directory out of my library entirely, and just browse it under the raw files interface. If I add it to my library as a TV source, Kodi does seventeen kinds of wrong and it's just completely unusable.
