thetvdb is down for now

hm so for you guys the scraper works again? i've added lots of new episodes but they are not being found. when i select the file in the source and press the info key it downloads the correct information and even adds the episode to the library, but i do not want to do that manually with all my shows Wink

any ideas?
thanks!

@21 - If you added the episodes while the site was down a simple db update might fix it, did the trick for me at least.

Works fine for me now except i can't get it to DL any posters/banners which sucks, anyone else having this issue?

It's scraping for me also, but no thumbs/posters for shows.

images.thetvdb.com no longer exists, how do i change this url in the scraper to just thetvdb.com for episode pics etc?

put a hosts entry

67.152.32.114 images.thetvdb.com

For Linux edit /etc/hosts

For Windows it will be %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

To confirm the IP address perform a "nslookup http://www.thetvdb.com"

So just add "67.152.32.114 images.thetvdb.com" into the hosts file and it will work?

Not sure, but it's a workaround that might work if the images are available from http://www.thetvdb.com.
