I believe the french part of the XML DB file is kinda causing this.

Update:
I tried to update wiitdb with another working install (other PC) and get the same error.
So, I think it's a a wiitdb database problem in xml file.

Hi, I still have the same problem and I'm french to.
Is there another error in wiitb xml ?

Thanks.

Still getting this error.

Im running Wiithon version 1.21 (rev 493) in Maverick, but have also tested 1.1* (current stable) in Lucid and Maverick and still get this error. Apparently it is because of an incorrect character in the wiitdb.xml file. I don't know what character or how to go about getting it fixed. I did however email the creator of wiithon.
Furthermore, there is not much of anything outputted when I run wiithon from shell. Is there a verbose/debugging option? It is not listed in its man pages, but neither is "-v" and that prints out the version you are using so it is possible there are other options.

[ginalfa (ginalfa)]

The bug affects me too.
V. 1.21-493 on maverick.
So wiithon is unable to retrieve games info.
