Hi,
I've been using XBMC on Windows and it was working flawlessly. recently i switched to Linux Mint 15, and it was working great untill this strange problem started happening with me.
When i try to add/refresh/get-art for a tv show or a movie, XBMC says "unable to connect to remote server", so i tried to check if thetvdb & tmdb are working properly, both are working just fine. i tried to switch scrapers by using something else, same problem. i deleted all the xbmc data and reinstalled it, same problem.
the strange thing is, when i delete the video source and re-add it, it asks me after saying "unable to connect to remote server" if i want to keep scanning the files, and magically, it continues scanning allright and downloads all the metadata. but not when i try to edit items manually.
so the "remote server" is actually reachable but something is making XBMC think it's not.
HALP!
PS: the RSS feed that shows up in the start page (Back Row skin) isn't showing up too, so something's wrong, and i don't know what it is.
Also, sorry if this topic isn't in the correct forum.
EDIT: here's the logs http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=54908
EDIT2: Solved it by disabling ipv6 in advancedsettings.xml
