Hi all, could someone please help me with this,
I have just installed osmc, never had these issues with raspbmc, I can not find any add-ons or scrape movies it tells me that it can’t download information and is unable to connect to remote server.
I have scanned TV shows with nil issues so am clearly connected to the Internet (wifi) but can’t do the movies or bring up any add-ons.
Oh I have installed all of the updates as well which downloaded over wifi, any help greatly appreciated.
Ok have had a look at the pinned thread, which log should I be looking at if it may be an Internet issue?
Just tried to log it all but then it said it couldn’t find the URL for the upload.
Why would it say my internet is connected in the network section of myomc but then not be able to connect for add-ons or movie scraping or uploading the logs but it can for TV shows and updates?
There is an option to copy selected logs to the sdcard… then shut down, carry sdcard to your desktop/laptop and paste them at http://paste.osmc.io and provide us with the resulting URL here
I got the log, went to that site and pasted it in there and then pressed save but then what is supposed to happen? I didn’t see any URL or anything come up, have I done this wrong? I couldn’t find any instructions on using that page, just information that it was there.
The TV scraper and Movie scraper connect to completely different websites for their information.
An internet connection is not an all or nothing affair, it’s very possible for you not to be able to connect to particular sites, for example if either your router or your ISP implement any kind of traffic filtering/blocking.
(For example at work through a corporate network I can scrape Movies but not TV Shows, as the TV Show scraper website is blocked for some reason by our firewall)
