The accented character issue is not fixed *yet*. I ended up going away this past weekend so it didn't get fixed. It's about 80% coded up so it will definitely be fixed this week.

I m having similar issues but my movies do not have accent but thumb and fan art fails to come in correctly (the movie info does show so I know it's just the art that isn't working). Is this a known issue as well and I just need to sit tight?

As far as I know everything is working as the XML was changed back to the proper order that XBMC expects.

The only issue I am aware of is the accented character issue.

I just deployed the fix for the accented character issue. Please give it 24 hours (to make sure nothing is cached any longer) and things should start working.

Travis, I'm still not getting fanart for movies with accents or other unusual characters. Here is pastebin from Amelie: http://pastebin.com/3pRQgwyR

after looking at my log it is trying to grab a backdrop from http://i2.themoviedb.org/backdrops/6f5/4...iginal.jpg

(notice the "-" in place of the "e" in amelie) when the real link is: http://i2.themoviedb.org/backdrops/6f5/4...iginal.jpg

Similar issue with Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Audition and several other foreign films

Hey mate,

All of the Movie.search, Movie.getInfo and Movie.getImages method return the proper URL for me (just tested).

Example:

http://i1.themoviedb.org/posters/701/4bc...iginal.jpg

AND

http://i3.themoviedb.org/backdrops/6fd/4...iginal.jpg

So it's either some kind of weird library cache problem (like within your XBMC) OR, can you confirm that they are using explicitly the 2.1 API methods?

pork · 2010-05-18 02:10

how can I confirm which API method is being use?

Thanks for you help

@pork: Make sure you refresh the movie in question.

I just tried refreshing from the Videos section rather than my Movie library and it worked. Not sure what the difference is but refreshing from within Movies didn't work.
