Windows TheTVDB scraper and language setting

Hello,

I use the TVDB scraper for almost 2 years now.

For some time now (since changing to Eden?) I got a problem with the language setting.

In the settings I change language to "de" but next time entering the settings it is set to "en" again.
So scraping new TV-shows I get the english version only even there exists a german translation on ThTVdb.com.

Updating older shows (first scraped before the problem began) I get the german infos.

Changing the language in XBMC\userdata\addon_data\metadata.tvdb.com\settings.xml to "de" has no effect. Its changed back to "en"

Can anybody help me?

I use XBMC 11 on Windows 7

HI i had the same problem with dutch series not being found by the scraper , now im not a rel XML programmer but i managed to change something
in the tvdb.xml file : ( you will see i changed the part where it says language )

<CreateSearchUrl dest="3">
<RegExp input="$$1" output="&lt;url&gt;http://www.thetvdb.com/api/GetSeries.php?seriesname=\1$$4&amp;amp;&language=all&lt;/url&gt;" dest="3">
<RegExp input="$$2" output="%20(\1)" dest="4">
<expression clear="yes">(.+)</expression>
</RegExp>
<expression/>
</RegExp>
</CreateSearchUrl>

Now i restarted xbmc , did not find my sho automaticaly , but when i scraped through videos->files choose the right folder where your series is , press the I butten , the he searched again and found my dutch series. Now he finds all my dutch series that are on Thetvdb.org

I hope this works for more people , it did with me ...

Thank you for the hint. I will try it tonight.

This line reminds me to a api-info I have found on the wiki of the thetvdb.com: http://www.thetvdb.com/wiki/index.php/API:GetSeries
According to this site (and http://www.thetvdb.com/wiki/index.php/Mu..._Languages ) it should be possibel to replace &language=all&lt; by &language=de&lt; (or &language=nl&lt; )

I will try that too tonight

It worked.

Using "de" instead of "all" I got the choice of the german (de) and the english (en) version (at least for "Treme")

So ... Thank you, it helped me a lot

Worked for me too :-)
