hello!
Can xmltv grab movies info, like actors,genre...
tks

It's really up to whatever your network provides, I understand. I haven't looked into the fields available for a while, but I don't think I've seen that sort of information in there. you could probably open the TVGuide database and see if there are blank tables with that information present.
