No Covers are downloaded
#1
I am using newest XBMC from the PVR branch under linux, but i think this does not matter.

I can succesfull scan with the scrapers my videos, they are found and i get some informations about the movies. But i never get any cover, niether using imdb nor amazon.co.uk movie scraper.

same for my music files: no covers, or artists pictures.

any idea? am i the only one?

really noone an idea? does it work for others or not?

i just made a fresh install - samething. no covers of any kind.

oh and btw. when i manually set channel logos for my tv channels they disapear after i restart xbmc. how can i make them to persist?

A debug log of you doing a scan would be a good starting point.

here it is:

but i'm still wondering if this is a common problem or not? anyway- there is the log. hope its ok so. i looked up the sticky.

btw. the same problem i have with imdb and amazon.co.uk and the third scraper tvmovie or so. none of them gets me any covers. and with the music scraper i dont get any covers neither.

I can't access pastebin at the moment as it keeps timing out for some reason. I'll check it later...

Is it a common problem... Yes and No. Yes it is a problem that comes up often, but it is more user error, files or directory structures setup in a way that does not provide the right info to xbmc. Generally, No, if you have files named sanely, reasonable directory structure and set the correct scraper settings, then no you won't have problems.

In the meantime it might be worth reading this, it shows exactly how to setup the scrapers depending on your directory structures, etc.... http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBM...tart_Guide

well, there are surely things to optimize as it does not goes deeper into directories, but as i already said it reconizes my files and it finds them on imdb. i get info to the film.

but i dont get any covers. in the log file i found lines about errors parsing the returned website from imdb.

but anyway, will see what you find when looking into the log.

i looked up the log myself a bit more, and it starts getting interesting from line 18:59:46 T:140075687659792 M:2337955840.

as it seems it cannot parse the side to get actors details and some other infos. the plotsummary works but for the others it gets parsing errors.

then there is an error creating the thumbnail. but i don't know if it is because it could not retrieve the cover or because of other reasons.

i have a thumbnail for the movies but its allways only a screenshot of a moment.

edit: in case you still cannot acces the pastebin file (although for me it works even from work) here the relevant part for one movie getting scanned:

obviously the scraper fails at parsing the website. what i find strange is, that it fails even with other scrapers. but i didn't made a log using other scrapers.
