ImageGrabLite Failing to Download Updated Episode File from thetvdb

[pkscout]

For the last week or so anytime IGL has to download an updated episode file from thetvdb, it fails. Here's the latest:

Code:

Probably best to followup here http://forums.thetvdb.com/viewtopic.php?t=21157&p=74439

I'll do that. I'm calling IGL using this:

"C:\Program Files\NPVR\imageGrabLite.exe" --oid %3 --rename --zap2it --season

I kind of thought using --season would mean it doesn't look for anything from thetvdb, or at least that it would use what's in the NPVR database instead of what it found. It looks like IGL is somewhat dependent on a connection to thetvdb, which goes through spurts of being very unreliable. Or do I need to pick one, --rename or --season? Now that I'm reading the wiki page again, it looks like that might be what I have to do and then maybe use --subtitle as the backup option.

Yes because iGL's root's are in d/ling images it uses Internet calls. I think there is a switch in Searchlite.xml to turn it off but it may not work I will check.

I had a look at the code and one of the first things it does from thetvdb d/l is makes sure that the name is right, otherwise shows like Castle, The Flash, and Shameless won't get the proper year or country, so I really think it is best to keep the test in.
