[QUOTE="fforde, post: 840455, member: 52082"] Some characters are not valid in an XML file, most characters with an umlaut included. A more common example is the less than sign "<". The less than sign is part of the XML syntax so if text that were not a part of the markup included a less than sign, the document would be impossible to parse. The solution is to use "<" in place of less than. Similarly the "ä" character must be replaced with "ä". Without quotes of course. A full list of XML character encodings can be found [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references"]on Wikipedia[/URL]. EDIT: I realize the absurdity of some of this. Please keep in mind I did not design the XBMC NFO format or the XML specification. ;) [/QUOTE]
