[SOLVED] TMDB and IMDB scrapers both broken

Post by chriss179 »

Hello, just as it says in the title, both of these scrapers don't work anymore for me. I have looked around for fixes on the forum and the december 2015 TMDB fix doesn't work for me. it says server unavailable. I hope people still use XBMC. i do and i plan on keep doing that for years to come as my trusty xbox can keep up with 720p hd video no problem. Too bad xbox tree was dropped from kodi and 1 dev is all we xbmc has left..

Our user base is relatively small and those that want to help, may not desire to try and figure out needed information from you.

As a matter of suggestion, please make an effort to provide more information. For example, what build are using? Better yet, get your debug log, uploaded somewhere and link to it, in that manner, we need not decipher this information.

Some scrapers have been updated in the most recent nightly build and the issue might have been corrected.

Your debug log indicates that you're using an outdated build (r32977), which is potentially your issue with IMDB (personally i prefer tmdb):

Code: Select all

20:32:38 M: 55058432  NOTICE: Starting XBMC4Xbox 3.5-r32977 (SVN:32977, compiler 1310). Built on Oct 14 2014
It is probable that this has already been fixed in the most recent Nightly Build r33017. I encourage you to upgrade, test, and report back w/ a new log if things are still not working.

I have tested it with 33017 pc version. The result is:
- TVDB: Flawless for all languages
- TMDB: Doesn't work at all, no server contact (maybe temp. problem)
- IMDB: Only english. All information data works, no images can be retrieved

EDIT:
TMDB Error obvious:
{"status_code":10,"status_message":"Suspended API key: Access to your account has been suspended, contact TMDb."}
Kodi still uses the same, so they should have the same problems...
IMDB:
Images of Actors can be retrieved correctly dunno why they aren't used. Thumb of film is not displayed because of tmdb error.

Having the same problem here.

Build:
XBMC4Xbox 3.5.1-r32990 (SVN:32990, compiler 1310). Built on May 31 2015

Looking at Kodi forums, it looks like they have had issues as well. I tried replacing xbmc4xbox's API key with one from Kodi and then got a different error, code 22: "Invalid page: Pages start at 1 and max at 1000. They are expected to be an integer.". I also tried using Buzz's recommendation of using the newest patched version of the scraper from this thread to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.

Probably because you have actors thumbs disabled in settings -> video -> library

ZeTsUnAmY, you've already posted separately on the issue here (http://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/forum/viewt ... f=6&t=4640), please keep to that as it might have a different cause. See the note on needing a debug log.
