Hi All,

Setup my XBMC last week and all has been going well until today.

My scanning has stopped working and it logs the message;

"unable to connect to remote server
Would you like to continue scanning"

pastebin

Windows 7, XBMC 10.1

all help is welcome

From a brief look it seems as if there's no result using the yahoo musicvideo scraper. Nothing we can do about it, sorry.

Go into System settings, Add-ons, Enabled Add-ons, Video Add-ons and uninstall the YouTube add-on by selecting it, pressing Return and choosing the Uninstall option. Then go into System settings, Add-ons, Get Add-ons, Video Add-ons and reinstall the YouTube add-on.

This may seem an odd way to fix the problem, but an accidental dependance was built in to v10.1 so if the YouTube add-on gets uninstalled or broken it breaks the scraping.

This is just a guess or did i miss something - like eg. content: movies - in the log?

I added a music video folder recently so will delete it.

I've never used the youtube addon, so will remove that as well.

Ok, i removed the music video share and uninstalled the yahoo and youtube addon. Which has stopped the annoying message.

thanks for you help

When you've seen the Youtube add-on cause the problem several thousand times it becomes your first guess :-)

It was/is not accidental btw.
In order to play trailers links from youtube, you need to have the youtube plugin installed.

I think this kind of issues happen when something broke during the downloading of the scraper addon and/or the user doesn't wait and for example quit xbmc before all dependencies were downloaded.

Actually personally I only saw cases where the missing youtuble plugin caused the problem. I didn't see any cases where it was installed, but one had to uninstall and reinstall again to get it work.
