Is this issue not as wide spread as I believe it to be? I mean if it's working for other people please let me know.

Some work was being carried out on a firewall earlier, but there doesn't seem to have been any widespread or prolonged outage - though I did have some trouble earlier adding episodes, but has since scraped properly.

Not sure how its working for you steelman, I think it worked for like a few minutes earlier today and went back down again as its still not working for me. I posted a debug log can anyone tell what is really going on here?

Edit: HUGE UPDATE! I have no idea why, but I think the issue is with XBMC itself. Renaming the files in a different naming scheme ie from S09E19 to 919 allowed XBMC to pickup the file. Then afterwards, by removing the file from the library, and the renaming it again back to the original naming scheme S09E19, xbmc picked up the file again. So I am guessing during the TVDB downtime XBMC somehow saved the episodes but without any info so everytime you would recan even though the TVDB is working again, it would disregard them as it they are already saved. (My theory atleast).

I am encountering a similar problem.

Also to make things easier for you to find. My new episodes are in "The Big Bang Theory", "Modern Family", and "Castle".

And I also created a topic here.

I wonder if our problems are one and the same...

I just noticed this same problem on my Mythbuntu box, which runs XBMC as the main front end. I'm using the APT repositories from the XBMC site, and I do updates about once a week or so. Based on the files that are missing from my library, this problem seems to have started a few weeks ago and I just never noticed it until today.

I did some debug logging, pertinent lines can be seen here, and it appears to me that XBMC is no longer doing a recursive search properly. In my case I have sub-folders for each season so just looking in the top level folders will not result in any episodes. I see it searching the top level folders but it doesn't appear that it checked any of the season folders.

I did try renaming some episodes, as Mobious suggests, but this only worked on one episode and then I couldn't get it to work again. I also tried creating some manual rules for <tvshowmatching> in advancedsettings.xml but this didn't work for me either. I have since removed these to make it go back to the defaults.

I was finally able to get them to add manually by setting the Default Select Action to Show Information, instead of Play. I can then select the file in the file browser screens and when I select the file it will pick up the already existing NFO file, created by Sickbeard already. At this point the episode is loaded into the library correctly and I can then see it in my library as I normally would.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I'm missing a bunch of stuff in my library and having to go through the file browser gets old quick. If anyone would like more information, I would be glad to send this along.

I'm also having the same problem. Nothing's changed since last week but even after manually updating the library I can't see the new episode. The new episode is named fine, and it played just fine from the file browser.

I'm having the same problem. All of a sudden Tv shows are on longer scraping properly. I wanted ot rescan my entire collection on Sunday and when I tried I suddenly started getting server not contactable errors. After a few retries it did scrape a few shows but most are incomplete.
