No problem - glad I could help with some info. Seems liek they have been having issues for some time. On another note, I am scrapign movies today and notice that it's taking a unrealisticaly long time to scrape. The come in, but about 20 minutes for 3 movies so far.

The issue with movies is usually caused by TMdb. It helps a lot if you disable the downloading of fanart, and of posters from TMdb.

They have moved over to a new API now and I think that it has priority over the old. The next release of MC will incorporate this, and it does appear to be faster.
