TVRename crashes when doing a scan

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Hit the scan button
2. or scan a few particular shows

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Scanning completes and it suggests renames. The app gets killed by Windows, 
saying "TVRename has stopped working." It looks like it chokes on long file 
names.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.2.0b5 on Win7 x64

Please provide any additional information below.
I see mentions of this problem in the forum from 2008, but no solution and 
just a vague "I'll do this later" response. Any headway on this? :)

Ok, my fellow users with windows 7 x64 here is what I did to get rid of the 
crash:
1. Forced refresh on all my shows, Futurama crashed it when i did this
2. Skipped Futurama and forced refresh on all the other shows
3. Did a save
4. Forced refresh on Futurama
5. Saved
6. Did a scan and it worked fine

Running Windows 7 x64.  I attempted to follow the recommendations in Comment 6 
but can't even do a refresh.  It crashes (TVRename has stopped working) while 
trying to get the mirror list.  I've also seen it crash as a result of several 
other actions that others have already posted here.

One thing I will submit - if it makes any difference - is that I was accessing 
files on a remote (samba) share.  Windows itself had no issues reading/writing 
to the remote share.

I uninstalled it.

I'll check back in a couple months to see if the issue is resolved.  It is 
completely useless to me at this point.  Might try it on my Vista machine.

I too am having an issue. Windows 7 x64 here also.  The error I get is as 
follows when it is pulling down the scan.

ERROR: Error processing data from TheTVDB (top level).'', hexadecimal value 
0x1F, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 1.

I run Windows 7 x64, and I randomly get the "invalid character" error every now 
and again.  But I'm not sure that it's a TVRename problem, or a problem with 
TheTVDB website.  Either way I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be crashing.  But I 
open the program, save, close, reopen, and scan again.  Sometimes I have to 
wait for a bit and try again.  But the issue doesn't happen very often.

Flushing the cache (Tools->Flush cache) worked for me

I have the same issue using the new release 2.2.0b7 win 7 x64 and win 7 x86

I think the issue is related to the download of the jpg's and then the rename 
too .tbn
when a scan is done the application wants download the jpg's every time even 
when the .tbn file is already there, thus it wants to overwrite the existing 
.tbn files causing the application to stop responding.

Check if your scanning for the active downloads (e.g. incomplete torrents) 
folder. This was causing my TV Rename to crash

Traced it back on debug to an Exception:
BadReadException:
ZipEntry::Read(): Bad signature (0xB4B1F1A2) at position  0x00002AB3
on the function GetPageZip()

it is thrown from the zip library the program is using.
can any one from the dev team help me out figuring out what it does?

#17, you're my hero. I had a massively long file name downloading in utorrent 
that was causing my crashes.
