thank you for responding,.. I will try to make this more concise as to the issues I'm having.
I am trying to add a directory of movies I have to xbmc. The process I go through is to start xbmc, and then navigate to the videos folder. I choose to add a source, in this case "users/media/videos/movies", and then set the content to MOVIE, with themoviedb.org as it's information source.
Once selected, it processes for a minute gathering information, and then finishes. I then select the newly added entry "movies", and when I am presented with the content list/showcase/wall, the movies are there with default icons, and no information. If I select a movie, (say blade runner for example), and hit "i", a keyboard pops up asking me for the movie name. if I type it in again, the keyboard pops up and asks me for the name again (in an endless cycle until I abort).
However, if I do the exact same process with a different source (ie: IMdb), the movies come in with coverart, movie information, and if I select "i" on any movie it gives me a list of movies to pick from to get the correct version.
I would prefer to use themoviedb.org as it has superior thumnails, and can pull in fanart.
I have created a new debug log that (hopefully) removes the extra information that was cluttering the previous debug log to help see if anyone can help me. I am not beyond doing something wrong here, but I have read and tried to be doing the correct things. The fact that IMdb (or amazon etc) works, but themoviedb.org doesn't, is what confuses me.

the error lines that are persistently coming up when it checks each movie entry is ...

So I hope that is more useful information.
