1) I use the latest svn scrapers in Each release, and it has no problem loading any of the scrapers (or not loading in the event of failure (the catch for this is in ScraperInfo - not scraperManager) , not quite understanding what you're talking about, If the xml is malformed the scraper manager won't load it. Proper formation of the xml is the responsibility of the scraper writer, not scraperxml.

2) never did this to me, let me know how you're calling it, and scraper results entity is supposed to be able to support multiple urls (because that's the way the XBMC code works.. multiple urls for a result are possible (example tv.com which uses three urls in the getdetails function)

1) This may just be an artifact of a bad installation, but the XmlException doesn't get caught. In the ScraperManager constructor it enumerates all the .xml files in the directory I give it, then calls XDocument.Load on each one, and there's no catch between that and my code in the stuff that's in the SVN. My first bomb is on mtime.xml, but I also hit naver.xml and KinoPoisk.xml.

2) My code caches search results for different scrapers and lets me go back and do GetDetails on a UI-selected choice later. The search initially includes one Url. After the call to GetDetails, it contains 7 or so, most of which are URLs to thumbnails. If I turn around and pass the same object back, the GetDetails call fails. This happens with the IMDB scraper, I haven't tried it with any of the others yet.
