Upgraded (via clean install) to Windows 8, deleted some old seasons and nfos and added some latest episodes for certain shows, reinstalled XBMC, let it do its thing but all it does is read the nfo files and new episodes not yet in an nfo file, or shows where I deleted the nfo file or just new shows aren't getting added. In the case of new shows, it just shows the show name in TV Show view, with nothing inside and only the TV show summary (no art). Going to Files and scanning new content, updating library, refreshing tv show info (in files or tv show view) do anything. They are visible in Files though.
Same Here (Ubuntu + Frodo + Homeland TV Show)

scraper: GetEpisodeList returned <episodeguide></episodeguide>

I figure out this :

"This page contains the following errors:
error on line 65 at column 17: Char 0x0 out of allowed range
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error."

In the xml downloaded by scraper puglin. And there is this "<tms_priority></tms_priority>" in the line.

I am also having the same problem - will not scrape - when in file mode and I ask to reload info it finds the name and then does not loead episode or actor info.
Same here It's odd some TV Shows scan fine others do not. After I moved some stuff to another Hard Drive I cleaned the library and noticed while trying to rescan CERTAIN TV Shows The info scans but it's not recognizing the episodes.

Example
adventure time scans and gets the show information and the episode information
then family guy scans and gets the show information but no episode information.
then simpsons scans and gets the show information but no episode information
then Transformers scans and gets the show information and the episode information
I'm also seeing this problem. I have not changed my setup in the last few months.

Beauty and the Beast (2012) will scrape.

Castle (2009) does not.
Bones does not.

I have auto-update on. Was there change to the scrapers?
I am seeing the same thing, I looked into the xml file and it shows that the:
<tms_priority></tms_priority>
node in the xml has a 'null' character.

And I can't even copy/paste over that one. Try this: Open the en.xml file from the en.zip file and then try to copy the entire single episode in the xml that has the null. Then paste that into another notepad and it stops at the end of the opening tag for: <tms_priority>.

I did all of this using Sublime Text 3. The en.zip url I used is: http://thetvdb.com/api/1D62F2F90030C444/...all/en.zip

I am also having the **exact** same problem with Castle (2009) and a few other shows such as the big bang theory, how I met your mother and a few more.

Log output seems to be similar to a few others on this thread.
Running on OSX 10.8.5 and two Rpi's.

I suppose it is safe to assume this is a TVDB issue?
Im having a similar issue, posted a thread earlier today, I guess its a good thing its not isolated.

The bottom line looks like a thetvdb issue
Fix here:

in short,

Delete cache file(s) from:
C:\Users\(name)\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\cache\scrapers\metadata.tvdb.com

then update

That partially worked for me. It did get the episodes updating again but some of the artwork and things like that are not exactly showing up properly. But at least episodes update, that should do for now.
Seems to be almost Fixed it is the tvdb issue, some show's xml's have a error.
I can confirm almost my shows that had episode scan issues are scanning correctly again!
Yep, deleting the cache did it for me too. Still no art or actors, but that's no biggie.
