I believe the issue is with having the year in the show name.
TheTVdb lists some shows with years, to identify between different shows, or remake shows.
See "Castle" and "Castle 2009".
Can you try and remove the year from a couple of Tv Shows and see if they scrape correctly?
Id hazzard a guess that once the show is scraped correctly, you could add the year back into the folder name. BUT, you will have to remove the folder from MC, and then add it back in. Then MC will find the 'tvshow.xml' file and all will be fine.
Let us know your results.

Hello,
I usually download HD trailers for all of my movies from Youtube, and place each next to the movie file, with the appropriate XBMC naming convention (<movie name>-trailer.ext). How can I make MC, when it is scraping new movies, recognize the trailer file as a trailer? It always says "No trailer found" for all of my movies. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Regards,
Bart

One feature I'd like to see added would be to be able to right click on a movie and choose to scrape from themoviedb. I've had a few movies in the past that don't seem to be on imdb and have had to manually get the fanart etc from themoviedb.
Would be nice to have a right click option to do this for me.

It looks like the XBMC-TMDB scraper is broken in the newest release. I've been trying to scrape "Scooby-Doo and the Robots" which is not listed in IMDB, but is listed in TMDB and every time I try using the TMDB scraper the program hangs and needs to close. XBMC-IMDB scraper works, but doesn't return the correct movie. I'll put a note in the codeplex site as well. I really do appreciate all the work you guys are putting into this!

Huey, there are a number of different folders that reference MC in the "Assets" folder. If you have any guidance on what specific files to copy I'd be more than happy to give it a shot.

I tried copying the metadata.themoviedb.org folder and MC gave an error about not having a required addon plugin.video.youtube with the following error:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
So I clicked "continue" to go ahead and launch MC and none of my movies were showing in the browser and none of my movie folders were listed. So, I added 1 of my movie folders and did a "quick refresh". Unfortunately none of the movies (which all have valid nfo's) showed up. So then I tried to "search for new movies" and MC crashed.

You know what, I went thru that too, now that you've jogged my memory!
I went thru and removed all the references to YouTube (and something else, I think) from the moviedb files, to get it working again. This was after first adding the YouTube scrapers which was in my download, but that didn't work out as well, or at all.
You've highlighted the fact that we are going to have to fix this at our end so it can be rolled out to the users. Dammit! I see that the YouTube plug-in has an 'optional' flag so it may be a case of getting MC to honour that. I apologise for taking care of my own dev needs and for not passing on the fix!
