I was using it in 1.3 for a scraper I developed myself, although it was never working 100% for me in version 1.3. Specifically, the <genre> tags would work in XBMC but wouldn't work get created in EMM and also the spoof attribute in <thumb> didn't seem to have any effect in EMM.

Thanks for all the hard work you have done, it's appreciated!

I'm trying to fix the logging a bit since it seems inconsistent at times.

Of course, none of that addresses your actual problem.

Sorry, Ember is still at 1.4 Beta 20131122 and your most recent posting does not say anything about how to resolve the log-problem:

So can you point me to the solution?

Many thanks!

re option to set title = to original - yes, sorry if I'm mistaken but thought this was a feature of previous Ember releases.

Returning to this topic:

How the hell did someone get the idea to destroy the XML structure with an additional line? I could do it without problems but the XML is not valid and then Ember (as well as any other XML program) raises an error or renames the file to *.info (invalid NFO).

I really do not understand how one can get in such a shit idea.

Any comments?
