Quick question
If i'm processing an invalid xml file (i.e. one with the imdb string at the end) I can't deserialize it or process it as valid xml Using a simple regex <thumb>(.*?)</thumb> will load thumbs from actor elements as well as the ones we want to process I can think of a few ways to clean up the data, the easiest is if the thumb for non actor data must be in the file prior to an <actor> tag. (or strip out all actor info, or attempt to reform the xml, or do a lookaround for actor). is there an order in which thumb must be listed in the .nfo file? ( i.e. thumb listed before actor information) ![[Image: teamumx_logo_small.png]](http://universalmc.sourceforge.net/images/teamumx_logo_small.png){kind=logo} XBMC Flicks - Netflix for XBMC http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=87552 XBMC Guide for adding Movies/Media Universal Media Manager - http://universalmc.sourceforge.net/ Media Info Plus -(old product) http://sourceforge.net/projects/movieinfoplus/

no order requirements - standard xml rules. if you read c++, you can see CVideoDatabase::UpdateOldversion() v29->30 - that's how i did it.
if you do music (haven't checked lately) it's v13->14 Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting. Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules. For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first. |

Note that the (video)database update didn't appear to hit SVN?
