Cool, thanks for the reply.
Aside from waiting for an updated addon, is there anything that can be done (such as manually editing the addon in order for it to work with the new api)?

Pretty much every regexp in the scraper needs to be rewritten, as the current scraper uses the xml output of the 2.1 API, whereas the version 3 API only outputs JSON - a completely different format.
No easy fixes, sorry.

...That might work. Try just copying the tmdb.xml file from metadata.themoviedb.org into metadata.theconcertdb.org and renaming it tcdb.xml.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
(I'm assuming the "one line" is the one in the addon.xml that tells XBMC to use it for music videos rather than movies.)

Scudlee, thanks a bunch. It totally worked.
For anyone trying to apply the above: at first it didn't work because I gave line 3 the same name as the original scraper. When I changed the name to something else it scraped fine.
Btw, is there anywhere I can upload the reworked zip to? It might safe other people some time.

with the scrapers posted so far, i mostly get the error "unable to connect to remote server" (i guess that's that api thingy mentioned above).
the one Rouzax posted does scan my folder, but nothing gets scraped.
do i need to name my files in a specific way?
i have all files in one folder called "concerts" with names like "ACDC.Live.At.River.Plate.2011.720p".
