Hi.
I'm the author of the Filmdelta scraper. It has suddenly stopped working and I really don't know why. When scraping I get the following in xbmc.log:

Code:
20:29:53 T:139680767002368   DEBUG: FindMovie: Searching for 'Jack Reacher' using FilmDelta scraper (path: '/home/xbmc/.xbmc/addons/metadata.filmdelta.se', content: 'movies', version: '1.1.1')

I don't know exactly when it stopped working, but it might have been in the upgrade from 13alpha8 to 13alpha9 (that's the only thing that has changed on my system that seems related to this). Nothing has changed in the scraper itself and I can't see any changes in the filmdelta site either. Also the url above returns what it should, so I don't know really which character to blame. Any ideas?

I'm running on Ubuntu 12.04.3.
