thetvdb is down for now

uv101 Wrote:Mine also does that by default but if you tell it to re-scan the folder, you should be able to select the correct series of BSG then it'll pick up all the correct details.

You can also select Refresh from the info screen and then apply to entire series.

there is still some weirdness going on with it, but i was able to scrape all tv shows earlier today on two different machines.

the only problems i have run into are shows that i use DVD vs aired order... doesnt seem to matter what i do, im getting the aired order every time.... im guessing that there are still some kinks that kinda need to be worked out of the system still & thats whats going on... but like i said, it worked for me on two different machines today.

is anyone getting banners yet? I have DVDs for all my shows except a few, but I can't get the banners for any.

The origonal problem was that the battlestar gallactica series was not in the database yet. It is now in the database. It has regenerated to that point.

Kinda unrelated, but is anyone having a problem with trailers on TMDB scraper?

More than unrelated! This is a tvdb thread. Keep it clean and post your issue somewhere else please.

I did post this elsewhere in its own thread, but it seems to have gone ignored

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"

Very bad advice. Just update your scraper (it's been updated in XBMC for months) or replace all instances of images.thetvdb.com with http://www.thetvdb.com in your scraper.

The problem with hard coding it is that it'll bypass our round-robin DNS once we have additional mirrors up (next week?), and it'll break when we eventually change our IP address again. In other words, you're screwing us over and not solving your problem permanently.

Is there a way to update the scraper without replacing all instances of images.thetv... ? I'm running Live 9.04.1 so I assumed it had the newest info.

Beta1 will be out today/tomorrow. You should consider updating or wait for the "final" release. Mixing current scrapers with the older 9.04.1 build might cause other nasty issues.
