I'm sorry but i really didnt knew how to copy paste the logs because when i had done the regular ctrl+c it would close the console window =p

Anyways, how can i fix it? any reason why this is happening? i can access tvdb via browser w/o problems.

Look at the URL. It's TheTVDB that's sending back malformed XML. The ID of the show is 82431. Please report the issue in the TheTVDB forums.

Look here => http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=82431&lid=7

You could remove the characters that are not processed correctly on TheTVDB side. I suppose there's some special characters in the series description, and then somebody is generating xml using very bad programming practices outputting malformed xml.

I guess they're not escaping ' so you could remove the ' from the description. :D

It works for me. Looks like it's fixed. You may need to clear the cache to get the new results immediately.

Nope, new problem:
Now it doesnt find anyhow the "Esquadrão especial Winspector" tv show,instead it is finding Inspector show, that one based on pink panther or something... is there a way to make filebot find a show using the tvdb ID of it? like shift clicking and then inputting 258162 or 258162&lid=26 would totally work for me. but seems filebot is not finding the "ã" character somehow.

Works fine if you set Preferences -> Language to Portuguese.

Looks like TheTVDB API is not searching Portuguese names when language is set to English.

After setting Portuguese you still might have to SHIFT-CLICK force "Esquadrão especial Winspector".

My bad, it worked now! Weird thing it still need to get by the entire name and not by winspector only.
