IMDB no longer scraping

[gone]

Greets all. Been running 3.2 for sometime without problems. Now all of a sudden IMDB no longer scrapes. I just keep getting prompted for file/title name. I haven't read of any imdb server issue and cannot figure out what has changed with system. Below is excerpt from debug log (film title omitted)

imdb changes their website around so scraping often breaks. if you use tmdb you will avoid this as it has a proper api which doesnt change every week!

Thanks for the response; I'll post a full debug log to pastebin when I get back.

Here's what I've found so far:

With previously scraped titles (imdb was used), I can refresh fan and cover art, but not movie information.

If I add nfo file with movie, scraper works; it pulls art and film info.

I tried a recently posted imdb.xml file I grabbed from an svn (very large file compared to the originally included one) but it returns a "server may be busy" error when scraper runs.

Just tried TMDB and get same results as imdb; that is, no results, just prompt for manual file name entry

Using the actual IMDB code which has worked in the past for some problematic titles (eg: tt0324197) fails.

I overwrote entire xbmc install with Jan's recent release, and same issue persists.

Issue resolved itself. All I did was try some new skins then revert back to PM3HD, and imdb scrapes works again (didn't try scraping while trying out then new skins).
