Hello All. I have a large collection of DVDs that I am ripping to my HTPC and I am using XBMC to play them back.
Using the library function in XBMC I was able to collect poster and bio information up until this week.
I am not sure if this is coincedental but I had a couple avis on an external drive that I decided to add to the HTPC. After I tried to scan the new movies into the library some of them came up with poster and bio info, other did not. Now when I attempt to either scan a folder individually or scan the entire directory it appears to hang forever.
I left it scanning a single movie folder for an hour without success .

Any Ideas?

IMDB support has been removed for quite a while. Try using http://www.themoviedb.org/
which should now be the default scraper

Your way out of date im afraid. IMDB has been back for quite a while now.

Please confirm your are using latest version of XBMC and see sticky in this forum on how to report a problem properly

I tried entering that address into the alternate lookup in XBMC and does't work?
I am using XBMC 8.1 for windows

imdb's site has changed since 8.10 so your scraper is out dated. Grab the latest beta or wait 'til 9.04 is released to scan your content.
