Hi Guys,

I recently visited the t3ch page and downloaded T3CH XBMC 2008-02-24

I've had older versions, but I thought it was time to get a newer copy.

Some of the new features are awesome! I'm currently trying to get some scrapers to work...

I've just resorted my files on my PC into appropriate folders, TV Shows & Movies.

Using my Xbox DVD remote, I select title on a folder, which brings up the context window, I select "Set Content", and then navigate to "Movies"...So far, so good. Currently, the movie scraper is set on Adult Movie Database, or something similar. When I try to navigate and select a new scraper from the list, it won't let me! I push the down button and it skips straight past the scraper list. Nothing I can do with the DVD remote seems to let me access the scraper list....so now i'm stuck using the porn database, but I don't have any porn lol. I want to use IMDB or something similar.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

One method that should work is to delete and rebuild your video database file. This file is "in use" by XBMC if you go into Videos, and it remains in use until you reboot. With this in mind, if you reboot your system and then go into Files (do NOT go into Videos, obviously), navigate to Q:\UserData\Database, then you can safely delete the video database.

Common question: where / what is Q:? Q:\ is a virtual partition that is mapped to where ever the XBMC executable file is running. This means if I have XBMC installed to E:\Apps\XBMC\ then thats where the default.xbe file is, so
Q:\ = E:\Apps\XBMC\.
The devs use Q:\ because we have no way of knowing where your XBMC may have been installed...
