I already deinstalled everything and installed it again. Same error. Maybe someone has an idea.

Do you need additional information? I don't know what is expected here.

You might want to report this to the Fanart Grabber thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=166572

Include a full debug log (see log file/Easy (wiki)) and be sure to paste the log into a pastebin site and not directly into the forum post. You should just have a link to the log. Log file/Easy (wiki) will explain this as well.
