That means it was an issue with the site being scraped, not MC.
Are there any plans to add the video bitrate, resolution, hd, audio, etc. flagging to Media Companion?
I don't think it's made it into SVN quite yet but, from what I understand, it's pretty much finalized as to how it will work.... More info:

The only thing I would really hope for is, if it does get added to media companion, is that there would be an option to just update all your movie nfo's with the new data instead of completely re-scraping imdb and overwriting them. I have a lot of custom titles, plots and what not that I've spent months going through and updating manually.

Yes it will be added.
I also agree with your last point, I also have the issue of having to start again everytime I add new features. I will have to think about this, but something similar to the update Votes & Rating for all movies would likely work ok and be fairly simple to implement.

Anyway, further checking of the nfo shows the url for the thumb as -
http://thetvdb.com/banners/episodes/76290-423756.jpg
where it should be -
http://thetvdb.com/banners/episodes/76290/423756.jpg
Nope, the first one is the correct link, although it is dead now, perhaps a new screenshot was uploaded and a different link used.
I have tested the program and the tv scraper is working correctly, thumbs and fanart are scraped correctly. There are possibly a few issues caused by an unknown bug that causes spaces to be added to the url and this will be fixed for the next version.
It is also possible that this is a show or episode specific problem, I would appreciate it if you would let me know the TV Show(s) and episode(s) you are having issues with so I can test them.
definate bug someware billy.
i reported that stargate SG-1 was screwing up episodes earlier in thread and put it down to the file names having SG-1 in them but it seems with futurama, a simelar thing happens where as it gets the correct episode number but the details and thumb are that of a different episode and this seems to be totally random within the season.
PS with past builds these episodes scraped correctly so its definatley not a error in my file naming system.
PPS iv confirmed episode order on thetvdb.com and there all in the same order

Thank you for trying to help
I investigated this a little more; I scraped an episode of Legend of The Seeker and this is the output of the log
Code:

I then went to thetvdb.com and looked at the image link, it shows up correctly so I am not sure how this is anything outside of MC as I can browse to the image in FireFox.
Thanks in advance!

I need details of a couple of episodes with this issue, if possible the filenames aswell. If i can duplicate the issue then I can fix it.

It is an issue with the TVDB. MC is not the only program with an issue.
http://thetvdb.com/banners/episodes/82672/443589.jpg is correct and works
but sometimes TVDB will direct this to a mirror using
http://images.thetvdb.com.nyud.net:8080/...443589.jpg
It is this latter mirror that is causing the problem
This thread at TVDB forums shows others having the same issues (
http://forums.thetvdb.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=747), simply put, this issue is beyond my control.
I had this same problem a couple of nights ago for the first time. What I noticed, however, is that MC bails out of scraping the first time it encounters this proble. I would imagine you break out of the loop on an exception?
I had just added in a complete new series I had scraped from DVD, and I had about 40 episodes that I was adding. Almost every second episode was failing for this same reason, and therefore I was having to close the log and start scanning again.
IMO, better behaviour would be if you continued scraping all episodes and then present the log with info on failed episodes as well as successful episodes, at one time.

MC is supposed to continue scraping on error
What version are you using, if its 2.2xx then if the episode scraper is crashing out then it should report the error at the end of the log, could you give me details of this reported error.
OK billy heres a picture to help explain it a little easier. the problem occurs with stargate atlantis aswell.
episode 1+2 are multi-episode and this happens.
instead of episode 2 being RISING (2) in the nfo its got all of episode 3s details within the 1+2 nfo file. and then pushes all the other episode nfo details along one
ie episode 3s nfo says its episode 3 but contains all of episode 4s details
hope this clears things up a little
@
rudeboyx
Delete the affected nfo's
rebuild TV Shows from the tools menu so that the deleted nfos are removed from the library
Open the edit screen for the main Stargate Atlantis nfo, select "Default" for the sort order. Save this and then do the media search.
I've tested that whole season and it works fine if you use the default sort order. If you use the DVD sort order then you get what you have.
Hope this helps
ahh thats sorted it
although when i original create the tv show nfo, default is selected so for some reason it reverts to dvd order afterwards
Cheers For That anyway it was drivin my crazy
Hey Guys,
I had some weird issues yesterday and this morning actually. I scraped The Blue Panet and The Long Gunmen, both only a single season. But I had to scrape every episode indiviidually, The add episode screenshots, cover art and season art manually. It would find one episode each time I hit media search and then just error out, with a about 10-12 lines of errors in the log window.
I was using .135 and then upped to .141 and then finally to the newest version and they all pretty much acted the same way.
it is still an issue, I just tried to go and test by trying to grab a new cover art for the lone gunmen, and it tried to scan under poster browser but does not show any cover art, just the icon with an X in it and the 14x16 size under each window.
I also had an issue with Millennium the other day as well but after restarting MC it worked OK.
I will be scraping another show later today or tomorrow morning and I will be able to supply the errors from the log file then.
Dave
