More than unrelated! This is a tvdb thread. Keep it clean and post your issue somewhere else please.

I did post this elsewhere in its own thread, but it seems to have gone ignored Sad

67.152.32.114 images.thetvdb.com

For Linux edit /etc/hosts

For Windows it will be %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

To confirm the IP address perform a "nslookup www.thetvdb.com"

Very bad advice. Just update your scraper (it's been updated in XBMC for months) or replace all instances of images.thetvdb.com with http://www.thetvdb.com in your scraper.

The problem with hard coding it is that it'll bypass our round-robin DNS once we have additional mirrors up (next week?), and it'll break when we eventually change our IP address again. In other words, you're screwing us over and not solving your problem permanently.

Is there a way to update the scraper without replacing all instances of images.thetv... ? I'm running Live 9.04.1 so I assumed it had the newest info.

Beta1 will be out today/tomorrow. You should consider updating or wait for the "final" release. Mixing current scrapers with the older 9.04.1 build might cause other nasty issues.

Thanks. Is there a thread that describes how to update to a newer version without burning a new CD? I tried "apt-get upgrade" and "apt-get update" but those didn't work.
