Mixed XML & URLl video NFO bug?

spiff Wrote: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

Cool thanks Spiff!
Even though I just finished compiling 21452 about 2 hours ago

thanks for the update .. i'll give it a test in a bit .. need to grab the latest svn

jmarshall Wrote:Perhaps a <genre append="true"> might be a solution?

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">

spiff Wrote:hmm, i think the solution would be a <genre clear="true">. the specified xml information is applied after we have scraped. pletopia, you haven't quite grasped the problem yet if you think an advancedsetting will help

i'm NOT explaining it again.

i guess i have to wait for sho to update the wiki with instructions on how to get this feature to work .. thx for the new feature though

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?

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

Thanks Spiff.

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

genre, director, studio, actor, credits, artist (for mvids)
