Filebot saying "invalid http response"

When I goto the "episodes" section of filebot, and type in Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood and scrape using TheTVDB, Filebot reports back an error that says "invalid http response".

Did TheTVDB site change something that breaks the scraping function in Filebot? I have confirmed that my internet is functioning properly, so I don't understand why Filebot is behaving like this.

Works for me. Can anybody else confirm this issue?

Hmm weird. It still doesn't work for me. But other scrapers, like the ones with Kodi work fine for me. I'm using Windows Vista with a NAT router. I've never had any issues with scrapers before.

What do the logs say?

Where does Filebot save its logs? I don't see any logs in the filebot directory. Do I need to enable logging within the app or enter a parameter when launching filebot to enable logging?

I appreciate the help, and I will be donating once filebot is functioning for me because this app looks amazing and I am eager to be able to use it.

Edit: I actually decided to donate since you're already trying to help. Confirmation number: 51M827078G230025S

I'll send a follow up donation once we get this app running.

Run sysinfo and see where the data folder is:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:sysinfo
FileBot stores it's user data in the typical location, which depends on your OS. It's in $HOME/.filebot on Unix, and %APPDATA% on Windows.

On Windows, there's also a executable called FileBot (console) which will start FileBot with a visible console that'll display all the output.

Thanks for the instructions. I found the log file.

Since the log is too large to paste here, I uploaded it here:

Alright, no new clues in the logs I'm afraid.

But it's definitely a network protocol issue, so nothing filebot can do about it. Either TheTVDB API (v1) is broken, or the cache, or a proxy, or something is screwing things up. Try with a different computer, from a different network or with VPN.

You could try using the latest revision. That one's using a newer TheTVDB API (v2) which might work better.

Where do I grab the latest revision? Just off the filebot.net site?
