Hi,

Ditto I too have a folder on my Win7 PC and getting "Unable to connect to remote server"
Anyone done any diagnostics on this that have the same error on Fodo?

Cheers

From the log file:

This I can understand and accept:
13:19:32 T:4280 NOTICE: Previous line repeats 5 times.
13:19:32 T:4280 NOTICE: Thread CVideoInfoScanner start, auto delete: false
13:19:32 T:4280 NOTICE: VideoInfoScanner: Starting scan ..
13:19:33 T:4280 WARNING: No information found for item 'E:\Music Video\<name of song>.mp4', it won't be added to the library.

This errors here next in the log file:

Most likely due to issue with the selected scraper. If you are using the Last.FM music video scraper, it no longer works: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=133771&page=3

See this thread for a possibility: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=151740

I have the same issue - using 12.1 with AEON Nox.
when pressing "Try again" it jumps to the next file - once it's done - only 386 videos out of 836 have been added to the DB.
Does someone know, what File types are accepted, in order to have them all in the DB.

What i discovered is, that mainly videos with 720p are not added properly. 576 & 1080p are good (at least for those i checked).

Thanks for all kind of infos - i have this issue since Eden...

If memory serves, music video files need to be of the form "Artist Name - Song Title.ext" in order to be picked up by a scraper.

I had similiar issues until I learned of XBMC's music video scraper naming convention. See my post here:
