Any news on a fix for this? Maybe a workaround? Tried different scrapers and the same thing happens.
Thanks!

I had this same issue on XBMC 10.1 stable linux and it turned out to be an issue with an extracted file combined with the original archived file in the same directory.

Example:

movies/film_name/film_name.avi
movies/film_name/film_name.rar

I simply removed my original archived file and the error went away. I am curious as to why it didn't create a second movie entry in my film list instead of popping up an error.

i have also had this issue for quite some time. I have three machines in my house with xbmc on them and they all do it. I dont see an option to switch from moviedb to imdb. Its kind of a pain because Sickbeard and couch potato will try to update the library automatically but i end up getting this pop up. All are on the latest version.
