htbackdrops down... forever? (3 Viewers)

[wouter1971]

I see the site still isn't up. Is htbackdrops.org completely the same and is it wise to update the url in the plugin to the .org url to fix it easily for everyone?

Requiem,
Reference your setup for htbackdrops.com Host IP. I was able get to the "Notepad" and I found a setup description and some sample files. I deleted this and typed in the parameters for htbackdrops as shown in my attachment Please tell me if my setup is correct and if not, tell me what is correct. I tried scraping and didn't get anything. Also what browser does fanart use to get to htbackdrops, if this means anything.

Thanks

Hi,

A new version of FH will come in a day or so. I have been advised by Tobias from htbackdrops to use the .org address permanently, so the new version will do just that

cheers

Sorry, have been on holiday and did not read. Fortunately, others were faster than I an cul8er has the ultimate solution by just updating the plugin

Hi cul8er,

I appreciate all your hard work with this essential plugin. I've just upgraded to v3.1.0.000 but am still not getting any music fanart - my fanarthandler.log is reporting the following:

03-Aug-2013 08:36:43 Error [ Scraper]: getImages: System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 188.138.90.170:80

A ping test also reveals no response:

Does anyone have any suggestions re. what I might be doing wrong or is anyone aware if the site has gone down again?

Cheers.

These sites are going to be using a lot of bandwidth and perhaps he does not have the hosting to cope with it?

In the meantime you can try https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/music-info-bios-fanart-thumbs-cdart.120546/ which will fill in some music fanart / album thumbs from fanart.tv / theaudiodb.com (still a very early prototype of something I am working on)

Again down? Oh no... I've just upgraded to 1.4.0, and again I've lost my fanart... XD
