TMDB: unable to connect to remote server - robbee - 2016-10-17

Hi there,

I've recently installed Kodi, but cannot seem to get the TMDB scraper to work. I get "unable to connect to remote server" every time it runs. In the logs, I find the following message:

Code:

As far as I understand the messages, the addon fails to find info for the movies, but queries TMDB anyway, without any search queries. Thus the API returns an error. Anyone knows what I have to do?

Fix your naming.

Demon Barber - not Demonbarber

The filename p-st1.avi may be confusing things.

Godfather II (the letter i) not LL
