Since a month ago whenever I do a media update it will say "Unable to connect to remote server, would you like to continue scanning?"
However its scanning and importing movies/tv shows from thetvdb and themoviedb without issues, its not until its added all the new content that it comes up with this message.
Any ideas? I can access both sites fine and I can't seem to find anyone else with the same issue.
Enable
debug log (wiki)ging in XBMC and then run an update. When you get the "Unable to connect to remote server..." message, cancel out and then exit XBMC. Locate and review your
debug log (wiki) (xbmc.log) to see why it was having this problem. If you want other members to also look at your log, please upload it to
www.pastebin.com or
www.xbmclogs.com and post the assigned URL link to your uploaded here with your reply.
Both your logs show the scraper having a dislike for your use of just a hyphen for directory or file name:

Why use just a hyphen as the name? Fix that and see if the error message goes away.

I forgot about that, I was actually trying to hide the contents in the folder from XBMC as it kept indexing movie extras as random content.
I moved it out, but its still doing it
If it helps I used to use the library watchdog addon. One of the issues is it would sometimes keep scanning for new content over and over again, I uninstalled it thinking it would solve this problem, it didn't.
You can "set content" on those folders specifically (via File view) to be excluded from scans.
Anyone have any other ideas on fixing my issue?
Put year in parenthesis, rescan and if still an issue can you provide another excerpt from the log showing that movie again?

What do you mean? what is parenthesis?
