Movie scraping not working, my end or are they broken?
#1
Question 
I am using XBMC stable 10.1 on linux, and just today trying to add a few movies, I kept getting "Unable to connect to remote server, continue scanning?" a few times hitting yes each time, and no data being scraped. It does work for TV shows that I've added a couple episodes of.

Is it on my end or are the themoviedb/IMDB scrapers broken?

Same problem here with nightly builds. I think it's related to accented characters in filename.

im also having the same problem, only way to get new files to scrape is to access them manually then they scrape properly.

Hello,

I've spent some time debugging this issue as I too have had this problems for the past week or so. The root cause of the problem is that the video scraper code interprets it as an error when no results are found (function CVideoInfoDownloader::InternalFindMovie, VideoInfoDownloader.cpp line 51). This behavior was introduced June 9:th (git commit 5a0d0ecc4b03e49c936d), which pretty much overhauled how scrapers worked.

I'll probably try and find a solution for the problem too, but in the meantime this will hopefully help the xbmc developers get on top of the problem quicker.

Edit: A ticket for the issue have been created here: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/11649

Any idea when this could be fixed, my XBMC is broken since auto-update at startup is enabled and making it freeze. Thanks for good job on debugging and finding the problem.

Last working version i was using was

git checkout a481848d5fccfd2b871c8dc6076cd575da9594c5

I am going to move back to that this evening, only part that sucks is that it seems the latest version updates the mysql database so i have to rebuild it again Sad
