it works, just need to edit network configs

[LoL]

i'm using xbmc xbox media center 1.1.0 2005-02-21 [y] as my dash.

but still imdb is not working.
i can get weather info and the time server works so i'm sure my inet connection works.

is this fix working for everyone?

hope to have it functioning soon, thx!

ps. i have enabled internet lookups...duh

check xbmc.log for any hints.

great idea mate!!!!! :kickass:

i saw it gave a dns error, so i fixed it and now it's all good!!

the xbmc.log is a great thing, hadn't used it before but i will from now on!

i don't remember ever putting in the dns server, since when is this needed?

thx again ts, lol

dns is always needed. it's just that some things like weather. allmusic, imdb(only some portions of it) will use hardcoded ips if dns is not set, so those items can mask the real problem of the dns not being properly set.

@devs,

just for fun i had a peak at the source code after the addition of htmlscraper.dll and i found a possible memory leak. it really depends on the compiler, might be safe using vc++.

(cvs checkout 02.03.05, european style date)

in lines 72,133 of xbmc/utils/imdb.cpp the following statement might cause a memory leak:

if (!m_pdll && !loaddll())

c compilers are free to evaluate m_pdll and loaddll in the order of its preference. if loaddll is called first we could end up
reloading the dll even when it is loaded from before (there is no check inside the loaddll method). the solution is simply

if( !m_pdll )
if( !loaddll )
return( false );

thought i'd just mention it..

and the statement at line 45,

if ( !m_pdll || !m_pdll->parse() )

could actually lead to a crash since once again the order might be reversed, and thus m_pdll->parse could possible be called on the null pointer..

ts

does the dns have to be set to a specific number. if so, what is it?

yes, it has to be a specific number. and that is unique to your isp or your router.
