Happy I'm not the only one. I guess it's only a matter of time now though.

I just installed a fresh copy of XBMC over the weekend and the wife is harassing me about not having TV shows so I have to keep switching Library off.

After returning online for a short while the site appears to be down again. Whilst it was up, no scraping was available. Lets hope when it comes back up next time all scraping will work.

Thanks

Hey guys a heads up, its actually working.
Only for some reason they deleted all the unpopular tvshows out of the system so we only can download the most popular zip files with there xml's for now.

If we change the scraper to download the banners.xml and etc. it works like a charm...

Why would they delete anything? Thought the idea of their site was that it's a community driven content site?

Do I need to change anything with XBMC to get it to work? Getting a bit tired of all the removing sources, cleaning lib, adding sources, setting content etc etc lol.

i didnt find anything related to this topic on the why they deleted anything.... but as you test the links the scraper is using you can see that the unpopular shows simple arent there. Where for example CSI and all that crap is perfectly downloadable.

This is probally a issue that will be resolved today or tomorrow. I suspect there actually remaking those files as we speak Wink

They probably did the more popular shows first as more people would be wanting to get the content for those shows then they would for unpopular shows, gives them a bit of time to restore all content
