Allmusic.com music scraper no longer working?

[PantsOnFire]

I posted this query over at xbox-scene forums but no-one really said much.

Using the Atlantis 8.10 XBMC (plus Jester and LaunchPlayer), not quite sure exact build, hitting album information, I get the dialog "looking for album name", then i always get the message "No review found for this album".


Even if I switch to another music scraper (to retrieve info from another site) this still happens.


Anyone having the same thing?


sidenote- (also getting this on latest T3CH xbmc xbox build).

Debug log?

And try the latest SVN. We've switched everything to now use libcurl.

I'm seeing the same thing as well. The relevant piece of the debug log is here. I'm running XBMC pre-9.04, compiled 12/30/2008 (on xbox hardware)

As in my previous post, try the latest SVN please.

AMG is also notoriously unreliable.
What works today may not work tomorrow... and vice versa.

Guys, it looks like something in the latest SVN release (from 2-18-09) or a fix on allmusic.com has fixed this... my xbox now scans music properly.

thanks all.
