Try the URLs directly in a browser - atm it looks like themoviedb.org is having issues with their search (from my end at anyrate)
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.

I've tried to copy and paste the URLs from my log. It returns back the info, but xbmc doesn't seem to save it. It just returns an error instead.

I had to remove all files/folders that did not match TheTVDB (in my TV media source folder) to correct this message.
Turning on the debug log and tailing the file will reveal which need to be (re)moved.

I also seem to have this annoyance. It occurs at some points when scraping media but also occurs on startup (I assume when scanning for new media... since I have this option enabled).
At first I thought the "remote server" it was referring to was my FreeNAS where my media is stored. I am glad that nothing is wrong in that regard but would like to fix this other issue.

i also get this problem. specifically with xbmc live.
if i dont pick yes or no (ie if i leave my movie on pause and walk away) after a few minutes the computer will freeze and force me to reboot.
if it helps, im using a cronjob to update my library every minute. i tried playing with some settings in the library update section for my movies and it made no change. sometimes it will be fine for a few hours, and others it will pop up every minute or so. really annoying.

The problem that I'm getting is from thetvdb.com. The scraper works for existing shows (ie when it load up new Family Guy episodes) but when I add an entirely new show, it'll download the show info but not the individual episodes and refuses to add them automatically

This is the closest I've seen to a 'solution'
fdlsys Wrote:Lookup the advancedsettings.xml wiki - there is a new option that allows you to silence the errors while the scraping will continue.

I'll see if I can have a go on this tonight. Bloody frustrating. I have no idea what's causing this.
Well I am no longer getting error messages after following the tips for advanced settingss to ignore the errors.
And what I believe to be the offending files before I set ignore errors option:

I'm having this problem with a few specific movies and shows. Here is what the output from the logfile looks like for one of the tv shows(they all look the same)
XBMC doesn't get the information for these shows and movies at all and they don't show up in the library(just did an upgrade and the backup didn't work so well so ended up rescanning my whole library). It also seems to be skipping some of them after finding the error, so I'm not sure if I've found all of them yet. I tried the URL and it returns an empty XML file. Is this a tvdb error or an XBMC/scraper error in building the URL? Is there any fix or workaround for this yet?

Yeah I guess I used a bad example, I could never find a good way to name that show and have tvdb find it, so I usually manually do find that one. But that's not working either. I also have the same problem with eastbound and down and the x files(eastbound.and.down and the.x.files folder names) and both of those return search results.
