v3.122 - Batch scraping

Hi,
I'm getting errors every now and then when batch rescraping movies.

The error that pops up reads:

"An error occured creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: ActiveX control '8856f961-340a-11d0-a96b-00c04fd705a2' cannot be instantiated because the current thread is not in a single-threaded apartment."

I think I may have found the cause for this error, although I cant be sure as it is stubbornly refusing to raise the error for me.

Is there any particular batch option that raises the error?

I don't know, but this time I had checked the "Add Missing Media Tags" and "Attempt To Locate & Download Fanart..." checkboxes when rescraping. The batch rescraped some 500 movies, and the error occured something like 15 times. The batch rescraper freezez when this error occures, but continues when the popup is closed...

It is probably because themoviedb.org is down. MC cant get fanart right now.

Below is from the home page of xbmc and is in their rss feed.

"Our friends at themoviedb.org have experienced a major hard drive failure (the database is fine) and they are hard at work rebuilding. This obviously means that XBMC will not be able to scrape movie information from TMDB at this time. There is no need to report the issue, please be patient as they recover. You can watch the status on their twitter page. Good luck guys, and thanks for all you do!"

The error reported is a multi-threading issue and is not releated to TMDB being down,

I've located a call that may be responsible for the issue so this will hopefully fix the problem for the next build.
