I have been using XBMC for linux for several months now with no problems, I love the ability to use the library to set up all my video files. Whenever I added a new show I would just use the "update library" button and my new files would be updated.
Since yesterday (I believe I ran a "clean library" then, but i don't really remember), XBMC is not recognizing any new episodes of TV shows, it will add new movies without any problems, but anything I put in to the tv shows does not update.
When checking the log, most files seem not to have anything in the db=[] tag it seems to me there should be some hex in there. I cannot figure out what could cause this though.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Library won't update TV Shows

Hello,
I'm running the PPA Atlantis release on Ubuntu 8.10. Recently, I started noticing that TV shows were no longer getting updated in my Library, but were visible when I disabled library mode. Also, trying to get the TV Information stopped working with the TVDB scraper. Is this broken right now? Thanks, Dave |

The scraper has a short timeout and sometimes TVDB has long load times so the scraper gives up. Also check your logs for the "could not enumerate" warning. If you're getting that, the XBMC regex engine isn't recognizing your filenames.

Thanks - it must have been the timeout because I tried to update my library again before doing anything, and it grabbed everything
![]() But I'd like to still increase the timeout period if possible to make it a bit more robust. I'm not sure where to do this though and couldn't find it in the documentation. A little help please? Thanks! Dave |

Not sure myself if it also works for scraping. Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting. Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules. For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first. |

I was having the same problem myself with tvshows not updating in the library. These lines in my advancedsettings.xml solved it:
<network> <curlclienttimeout>30</curlclienttimeout> <curllowspeedtime>15</curllowspeedtime> </network> now it takes a while to update but finally I got my tvshows... regards, |

Thanks - that seems to have helped quite a bit.
For some reason, I also had to go to some of my shows, go to TV Information, and Refresh them as well. I'm not sure if something got out of sync between my DB and whatever was getting pulled down from TVDB, but the combination of the two seems to have made things a lot more reliable. Thanks! Dave |
