Hi All

I have this really really starnge problem (XBMC related not personal !)

For some reason XBMC will not download any movie thumbs for my movies folder. I have tried cleaning the database, removing all .nfo files and starting from scratch, but still I have the same problem.

It's weird because for some strange reason the first 30 films have a thumb in "File" view but it won't download past there.

The weird thing is though the other day I added two more films and they seemed to work fine.

The other weird thing is that I get the SAME problem on both my windows pc and my old school xbox.

If I right click and go to movie info the movie info seems to be there all present and correct but no thumbs or fanart which is really really a pain.

Am I doing something wrong. My current file stucture is this

D:\-=FILMS=-\[Name Of Movie]\[Name of movie].avi

Has anyone got any ideas because it's driving me insane at the moment :S especially the fact that it does the same thing on both xbox and windows

Sorry if im not explaining myself that well I have the flu and am struggling to type :(

do a fresh install, (removing all databases etc) turn on the debug log, add your film source, and it if still happens, look in the debug log to see whats going on and/or post it here so people can have a look

Hi

Sorry for the delay in getting back

Thanks for the quick reply and advice , i did as you said and a look at the log and a search threw back an error, i typed that code in and hey presto i had the proxy server turned on, turned that off and we're away :)

Still one ever so slight problem though :(

Now it won't do any of the tv shows. :S

Once again thanks for your help :)
