The problem with the movie-xml escape characters \" and \' (there may be others) stems from the way the data is being returned by the site as the script funtion propertyNode.InnerText should deal with real escape characters and replace them.

I have put in a simple work around in the attached script that will solve the problem until the site is fixed.

However, there also seems to be an inconsitancy in the way the MP config prog and the GUI deal with the \' in a title; resulting in two ' appearing in the title if you do an IBDM refresh from within MP GUI. This causes the creation of an additional set of thumbs to mach the new name; but all is returned to normal then you go back to layout view and this weird title is never actual written to the db, so we can live with it for now.

I have included two scripts here, moviexml and moviexml-1st; I have both these loaded in my search order then s7oneyuk IMDB+xml as the third option. The difference between the 2 scripts is that the return different cover arts when available. A longer term solution would be to fix up or enhance the coverart 'search for images' in the core............but thats a job for another day!
