[2.287] Cannot add new TV episodes - "Error, exiting movie scraper"

Was working fine, Then suddenly stopped scraping TV shows. Here is the log:

I just received this same error using ver 2.284:

also posted in the version thread: https://billyad2000.darkbb.com/announcements-f1/new-version-2287-t474.htm

Im getting this aswell.

I recommend you rename this thread to somthing more helpfull.

Also just tried reloading my older version 2.135, which i had in another folder. Now that is not able to add the new episodes either. I presume ive corrupted my settings files(i think which are in application data etc). Not sure what to do now

Thanks, good idea. Edited the subject.

I was just able to scrape a new movie, TV shows still not working.

yep same with me. movies working, but not TV.

This started out of the blue so it must be an issue with thetvdb.org... although I can still access that site just fine.

I know things like this happen on occasion with imdb when they change things on their site. I wouldn't think we would have the same problems with thetvdb since it was setup to be scraped, but it's the only plausible explanation I would think?

I am getting the same error in 2.287. 2.135 does not scrape successfully, but also doesn't give any errors. My regex is successfully getting the folder/filename info.

On the line marked, it might be trying to extract actor info, but is missing an a? Just a thought...

i'm thinking this isn't related to thetvdb since it's returning valid xml (you can even click on the link to the xml and see it's valid and accurate).

read this thread: https://billyad2000.darkbb.com/announcements-f1/whats-happening-t496.htm

I'll upload a working version a bit later today.

My working version is in pieces at the moment,

I've had to go back to a version 5 weeks old and I'm just trying to get the code caught up to where the last version left off, namely support for hd tags, and the batch movie wizard.

Either way, i'll have you a fix before the day is done.
