My Films 5.1 not displaying comments and description on some movies (1 Viewer)

[MPnut]

Thx Guzzi, but not sure what to do or how to install the patch from silentexception. Just reinstalled Avalon Hd and all fields are displaying as with Default Wide and Black Glass. What I dont understand is if the problem is within MP then why are other skins working fine?

Well basically I couldnt grab the comments with AMC using any of the built in scripts.Even uninstalling and reinstalling wouldnt solve the issue. The way I solved it was to search the registry for 'myfilms' This displayed two folders named myfilms.grabber??? I just deleted them and reinstalled my films and everythiong was ok. As i said I had tried previously to uninstall and reinstall 2 or 3 times with no difference. Will do a little more searching and report back if I come across the folders again.

If I understand it correctly, it depends on which font the skin uses (many skins install different fonts with the skin), and also if the comments (or other data) contain characters outside the fonts basic character set.

I tested some more options, including the suggestions to rise fontcache, etc. - all didn't help.
Finally I noticed, that a difference between working skins and problematic ones was fontSIZE - so posted a suggestion you could try - it worked for me here.

Strange, the entries I have seen in registry should not affect grabbing at all.

Yes, but the problem does not always occur. I finally found it happens when the above is combined with fontsize 11.
Important is the parameter in fonts.xml
<height>11</height>
Changing this to 12 on problematic fonts/skins solved the problem for me.
Maybe, some fonts have problems rendering in that size - or it's an issue with the skinengine. There is still bugs in the boundaries, when textboxscrollup is scrolling, but I think that is a known issue - not sure, if this is maybe related?
