Issue scraping TV show information
#1
Hi all,

I'm having an issue scraping any TV Show using thetvdb.com. I have just switched from Plex to XBMC with a fresh install of the new beta release, Plex does not have the issue, so I know the site is working correctly.

Currently running OSX 10.6 with XBMC 9.11 Beta1 with Confluence.

When checking the debug log I have found what I believe to be the issue, i.e the URL that XBMC is trying to download from thetvdb.com does not include the language ID "en".

I have tried to change the language to something else, then back again with no luck.

see complete log here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/327314/ issue is evident from line 746

Here is an extract of a few lines that show the error, as you can see the URL to thetvdb.com should be en.zip, but instead is just ".zip", which fails.

Unsure if this is platform specific so have chosen to post here.

Any advice you can give would be appreciated. Smile

Thanks
