Has any had much luck getting episode thumbs lately, i leave miptvupdate running all the time but over last couple of weeks have been getting no thumbs until go refresh in mip.
Anyone else?
It's been hit or miss for me, sometimes it's working, most it's not.
Since i was working on tv shows in umx, i built a plugin that is a spin off of mip's command line update. (it's alot different, but ends up with pretty much the same thing).
The one thing i did different was to tie it into a download manager to try to figure out what the ---- was going on with images.
It's looking like one mirror returns 404 for a bunch of episode images, and the other seems to return "most" of them, that's when they don't time out on either one.
Since the mirror is done by dns, if you clear your dns cache and then try again, you might be the other mirror that has the images.
(most versions of windows it's)
ipconfig /flushdns
if ya end up on one mirror, most fail, on the other it works most of the time.
in short, try the dns flush or hardcode the dns entry (hosts file) to point to the mirror with the images.
there will be test versions of umx that handles tv shows soon, command line only as the forms i'm using are just test forms to make the calls.
if your interested in trying that out, hitup umx's forums for beta tests and not the interest in tv episodes via the command line.
