Hi,
I've just upgraded to 13.2 on Windows 7.
Previously thetvdb.com scraper was working fine. But since the upgrade I'm getting "Unable to connect to remote server" when I do folders scans.
Looking in the log it seems to be the DNS lookup that's failing:

Code:
19:40:49 T:5988   DEBUG: CurlFile::Open(1288E720) http://thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=xxxxxx&language=en
19:40:49 T:5988    INFO: XCURL::DllLibCurlGlobal::easy_aquire - Created session to http://thetvdb.com
19:40:49 T:5988   ERROR: CCurlFile::FillBuffer - Failed: Couldn't resolve host name(6)
19:40:49 T:5988   ERROR: CCurlFile::CReadState::Connect, didn't get any data from stream.
19:40:49 T:5988   ERROR: ADDON::CScraper::Run: Unable to parse web site

But if I point my browser to the URL it's querying it resolves the hostname fine.
Any idea why XBMC might be having trouble with DNS since the upgrade?[/code]
Not to worry. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled and it's fine now.
