MediaBrowser

use a proxy server to access the site. That should get around your isp blocking it.

Yeah I thought about that, but that won't help MCM pull metadata.

Does anyone know how to implement proxy server settings into MB or MCM? I know there is a way to add proxy server settings to dotnet framework, but it is complicated. I thought someone might have a clear cut method, other than the one outlined here Take the Burden Off Users with Automatic Configuration in .NET I thought that autoconfig tool offered would automatically apply the settings, it did not. It was a folder with some java script codes etc. I don't know why I am blocked from themoviedb.org. if I use a proxy site, I can access it, outside of that, no dice. So MCM, and MB are not pulling any metadata.

Zay I passed this along to my gurus and one of them had this to say.

"for media center you either have to setup a proxy in WMP or Internet Explorer. by default WMP points to the IE proxy settings. In MB itself there are no options but I assume it would just follow IE proxy settings"

I'm going to assume you know what he's talking about and know what to do. If not, he would like you to go to the CT and post your problem there so it might help others.

Thanks DS, yes I know what he means, but in order to do that I have to know a proxy server and it settings. I tried using the IP of one of the free proxy sites, but that did not work. I will contine to seek a solution.

Ok.... good luck!

Well I tried and tried, but no luck. I edit my IE settings to use a proxy server, MCM connects to themoviedb.org, but then an error is generated, (I think it times out). I even built my own proxy web server Zay's Proxy Server but that did not help. I will keep trying.

Simplicity is a incomplete theme and looks like it may be that way for some time.
