    Is it just me? But since the latest update scraping movies is taking quite some time. And the last six I scraped, using the latest version, wouldn't come up with any fanart?

    Some posters aren't coming in as well. Although I can manually get these from the poster tab. It's like it's timing out. And on the fanart tab it shows some downloading, then nothing.

    Hi Lucas

    I assume TMDB scraping?
    Have checked with two new movies, and both scraped within 10 seconds. All artwork scraped as well.

    It was taking minutes to scrape each movie and still wasn't getting posters/fanart. Two days straight, I'll check again tonight and post again. Internet speed was good though, I did check that.

    Nope Still taking forever. I also notice that when I moved my settings folder out. Did a clean install and moved it back in that it had forgotten my naming convention and scraping folder. Is that normal?

    After it doesn't dowload the fanart, although MC says it did, I choose to manually download. This is the result.

    I have seen this before myself, but was not able to reproduce it.
    I suspect it was an issue with Internet Caching.

    What location is Media Companion extracted to?
    Also, have you tried rebooting your router/modem? Cause I have had that block me from accessing some sites before. (but that is a big guess).

    And, have you tried clearing the cache in Media Companion?
    Tools -> Empty Cache & Series folders -> Clean Cache Only.

    I decided to rescrape again today and all is well. I honestly have no idea why. I tried everything you said before the holiday here and nothing helped. Since then I did a driver update and have played around but couldn't tell you what happened. I'll try to catch this again if it happens.

    Thanks for your time it is appreciated.

    No problem. I figure it may not be anything you did at all, but a Caching or Internet issue on the Internet.
    I've had scraping a movie take 5 minutes a couple of times, but usually its about 10~20 seconds per movie.
