forgive me if this is a lot of problems in one post, ill seperate them with a bar, these are all problems with a XBMC that was downloaded this morning using the autoupdate utility (but it was still a fresh install)
==================================================
The music video scrapers
the MTV scraper appears to have stopped working... log from a search using the MTV scraper
the yahoo music video scraper works for most part, however it fudges at random things
try use it to get info for "(Hed) P.E. - Suffa". it wont find it. If you set it to manually find "(Hed) P.E." it will find several, one listed as "(Hed) P.E. - Suffa (2008)" which is unusual itself.. now choose that song and it will instead enter the info for the wrong song (some ooba whatever song) this seems to be random and i cant think of any other songs right now it is doing that for, but i am in the process of going through my list so can add more for comparism
==================================================
Manually adding to the library
when manually adding anything to the library, after inputting a name you are given a window to choose genres.. it appears to list only movie genres, (not a problem i just chose new genre) it says info entered etc.. however it is entered in the movie section of my library. there dosnt seem to be any choice or way to put it in which section of scraped info you want
==================================================
360 controllers crash
i saw the post about 360 controllers crashing xbmc, however the post is long buried and nobodys replied for some time to say whether its fixed for them or not.. plus the problem there seems to be only wireless controllers, whereas mine is a wired
this crash happens regardless of whether XBMC has actually been setup to use the controller (by putting the name in keymap), im using XBCD 0.2.6 as the driver, and it is a wired controller connected to my front USB port. it only crashes when the right bumper is pushed (the big one, that fast scrolls through lists) it works fine in anything else i use it for. Here is 2 logs
XBMC setup NOT to use controller, crashed when pressing right bumper
XBMC setup to use controller, trying all buttons, crashed when pressing right bumper
==================================================
Subtitle problems
i have had the same problems since the recent thread about random subtitles being borked for a long time, sub and idx would never work, and random srt files would just do nothing at all.. they would all work in any other media player fine (id either use that player or just download another one) however it seems they have all stopped working for me now
here is a copy of the srt file which i used with my movie beerfest, and here is the log copied straight after i selected the subtitle
