Mixed XML & URLl video NFO bug?
#16
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

to enable it .. do i need to add lines like that to my advancedsettings.xml as outlined by jmarshall in a previous post ?

<genre append="false">
<director append="false">
<studios append="false">

i'm NOT explaining it again.

Pletopia - you need to edit your actual movie.nfo files and add the tags there.
Like this
<genre clear="true">Horror / Mystery</genre>
<director clear="true">someone / someone2</director>


Spiff - I have about 500 movies and use nfo's with mixed xml/url for all of them, is there a way to universally set these options so I don't have to manually edit all of my nfo's? Shocked

aenima99x; no.
it's simple to do with some scripting though, something along

for i in find . -name *nfo; do cat $i | sed -e 's/<genre/<genre clear="true"/g' > foo && mv foo $i; done

Sorry to bother Spiff, but what are all the fields that can use the "clear" tag?
Is it just genre, directors and studio? Thanks.
