Hi all
since yesterday I've had problems with connecting to remote server for scanning of new content. I keep getting the message cannot connect to remote server".
I've tried reinstalling XBMC and after that reinstalling Utube addon as that seem to be able to cause this problem.
But I still cannot update my movie library as the remote server is unvailable.
The weather addon also seems not to be working, but I have no idea if this is related.
Anyone has any advise on this?
Thanks in advance

Same here. Was working just fine till about yesterday, or the day before(?) Suddenly would keep getting "Unable to connect to remote server" error when trying to scrape, and today I noticed the weather isn't displaying either. I've tried everything including a full re-install. Computer is connected to local network and internet just fine otherwise. (I run XBMC on top of Windows 7.)
Edit- also doing this on my other windows 7 pc. Strange... it'll scrape tv shows fine. But movies only 1 or 2 then error. And no weather. System info reports good network and internet connections.

Same error here, pre-eden on Windows Xp and the weather plugin doesn't work too
PS: Windows 7, no problem, in Windows Xp my problem occurs when Windows shell is replaced by xbmc, when xbmc is launched as a simple app the problem doesn't occur
The weather plugin doesn't work beacuse weather channel changes the api

I've found that when I enable the YouTube addon, the MovieDB does stop giving the "cant connect" error. It takes longer to scan, tho, but it's better than nothing.
I'm not sure where in the forums I came across this information, but I saw it somewhere somebody mentioning the YouTube addon having to be enabled.

Yea. Thanks but i decided to give up on scraping from within XBMC and am now using ember media mamager. Works much better and more fun, too! (And it forced me to finally organize my media correctly!.)
