TVDB Scraper not working?
#1
Hi,

I installed the new Dharma beta LiveCD last night and the resulting XBMC install seems to have trouble consistently getting data from TheTVDB.com.

Has anyone else encountered these issues? It fails to look up a number of TV shows and will often fail to download thumbs and fanart as well. It gives me a "unable to connect to remote server" error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yep, I am having a very very very very very slow time scraping my library. 99% of my files are pre-scraped already, but the ones that aren't are taking 5mins each to scrape.

I'm using XBMCFeaks latest CD, everything else works spot on so can only assume TVDB is having troubles tonight.

Check your debug log. I believe thetvdb.com was having issues over the last 24 hours or so.
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

The site was up and down all morning for me.

We've been having some issues with what looks to be a DDOS. Workarounds are in place and scraping should be working again, however the issues are ongoing so there may be more interruptions of service.

theTVDB.com is up, but I'm still having the same problem.
XBMC does not get any info about House series.

Fragmant from xbmc.log:
