I've added music videos source and added yahoo music video scraper, but when updating/looking for info it says it couldn't establish a connection to the remote server or something like that (its in swedish so the exact translation is beyond me Tongue)

so, is that because yahoo is down in some way or is there another issue I'm unaware of?

I'm getting exactly the same. Was working a few days ago just fine. Anybody got any ideas? Are there any extra logs I can find that will shed light? (I'm only a new XBMC user so don't know the nitty gritty of things yet.)

Since a few days the server seems to be temporarily down. Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't. I just tested manually with browser and from one call to the other the server responds with a "503" (Sorry, Service Temporarily Unavailable).
Too sad there is no other scraper for music videos. I was just loading a bunch of videos to my htpc but only few of them are getting succesfully entered to the database.

Thanks, BaerMan. Guess we'll see in time if they sort things out or not.
