The XML version of the scraper still seems to have problems with fetching the proper posters, at least in 18.9. The Python version of the scraper works fine though, so switching to that is a good option.

Hello,
I'm having an issue with the scraper, it keeps giving me a "Couldn't download information" prompt with further info "Unable to connect to remote server. Would you like to continue scanning?"
The TMDB TV Show scraper works fine though.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
--------
EDIT:
I tried the Python version and it worked fine.

Just updated to Matrix and not seeing the addon under the official repository…

In 5.2.6 the language assignment is broken.
I had set it to "de-de", but still get the title, description, trailer link, etc. in English.
After I reverted back to 5.2.4, it worked again, so there must be a bug in 5.2.6.
Is it possible that it has something to do with the language option?
In 5.2.4 the option value for German was only "de", in 5.2.6 it's "DE-de".

Which movie? Did you check there is a German translation?

It's the latest James Bond movie ("No time to die")
my filename: "James Bond 007 Keine Zeit zu sterben (2021) - 4K RMX Atmos.mkv"
Yes, there is a German translation (to see it, you will have to change the site language with the language selection button in the header)
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/370172-no-time-to-die
As I said, if I revert back to 5.2.4 everything is fine and I get the German title, poser graphics, trailer link, ...
Just a guess: Is it possible that TMDB reverted back to the old language codes (because of user feedback and several other broken implementations) and now the updated Kodi addon does not work with the new language codes (which were changed back)?
summary:
5.2.6: with the language set to "DE-de", all data is still fetched in English
5.2.4: with language="de", it's in German as it should be

I just tested this and I was able to scrape the German language using v5.2.6 of the scraper.
Can you please provide a Debug Log that captures you scraping the movie.
Just to confirm that you have set the language in setting 5c shown in the image? Maybe you set it in Settings>Addons instead?

I got no cast list for Smokey and the Bandit 2 & 3, but the original was fine. Both versions of the Movie DB scraper (Python & XML) gave me the same result. Can anyone confirm?

Thanks. Seems to have been a temporary glitch, possibly related to low storage space on the SD card where thumbnails are stored as videos also began freezing or stopping randomly. I cleaned it up and created 16GB of extra space and all seems well again.
