Mixed XML & URLl video NFO bug?

There is no need for googleing for diff in english, cause its the same in german.

I mean where to i have to set clear="true"? Just one time or in <genre>, <credits>, <studio>...., everywhere.

Also i can't find a VideoInfoTag file on my windows.

then what is the problem? i have already explained how it works AND that it is only a diff on trac at this point.

and VideoInfoTag is (shockingly) a SOURCE file. you know, what we apply those german diffs to ;P

The non programmer version:

This is an issue that has just been discovered.
The fix or workaround is being contemplated and is not part of the program yet.
If you have the skills you can get the diff that spiff graciously made and apply it to the source and compile your own XBMC version.
Otherwise you have to wait patiently until this or another approach will be put into the mainline code and a binary is released.

Ok, thanks sho.

For me a diff is a file comparison utility. And i didn't know that VideoInfoTag.cpp is something in the source. I tought its a file in XBMC. Also i thought "version changed from 9.04 "Babylon" to SVN" means it is in the latest SVN.

Spiff - I'm running svn ver. 21304 compiled today and I'm still getting duplicates in *some* fields when using nfo's with url's. This used to work before, I'm just not sure when it quit working. This is on Jaunty 32-bit.
I've also deleted the video db just to ensure there were no problems there.
Debug log here
Thanks

After some more troubleshooting, here's what I've found -

When the url is removed from the nfo - no duplicate data, but any fields not specifically set in the nfo are not pulled in

Tried changing the scraper for movies - have IMDB set in the nfo and used TMDB, also tried having IMDB set in the nfo and using IMDB as the scraper....made no difference

If you need the debug log of this, let me know. Thanks.

yeah .. with url .. dupes cause of addative mechanism of scraper in certain fields
without url .. no dupes but missing info if not specified in nfo

i understand there is a diff on trac to work around the genre additive .. i'd love to help test and debug it .. but alas i'm not a programer so woulnd't know how/where to start

however .. i had another question .. is it necesary for the current version of the scraper to work properly, that studio be additive like genre & director and not like title, plot, etc? i ask because if not .. could we make it not additive .. that way people can manually set studios so flags work better in the several skins that use them now

many times, imdb doesn't provide a good studio for a movie but rather a small off the wall one and this would prevent this

yes, studios need to be additive of course - you can have more than one!

after being overrun by all the tests results i obtained, i finally had a few spare moments to test it. commited at r21453. sho, please do your thing.

nicezia; you would want to add this to your library as well probably
