Hey all - I'm new to XBMC but am familiar with boxee, where I first heard about XBMC. I am trying to tag my movies using the Set Content, but once I initiate the scan, it freezes on the first film. I have the directory built as such:

Movies
--Poltergiest
----Poltergiest_1.avi
----Poltergiest_2.avi
--A Beautiful Mind (year).mp4
--Another Move (year).mp4

This structure worked for my TV shows, but for some reason the movies are freezing. They worked correctly w/ boxee.

Any ideas?

I have the same problem when scanning either automatically or individually on a new installation.
I've been playing about with the settings, and have found that I can get XBMC not to hang, if I uncheck "Enable Fanart" in the IMDB scraper settings. I'm hoping it's just a temporary issue, but maybe that will help you out for a little bit.

Wonderful! That fixed the issue for now, thanks Arkade ;)

What about if you delete the fanart for the movie it hangs on, or the one it would scan next. Does is then continue scanning to the next movie?

I have the same problem, but it stopped after scanning around 100 odd films.

So I removed the fil it got stuck on and it just go stuck on the next.

When I removed the "Fan Art" option, all works again.
