[QUOTE="mrceolla, post: 964632, member: 109048"] Let me start by saying I've uploaded many images to htbackdrops.com and had the Fanart Handler pull them in just fine. But I'm having a problem with this one particular artist. I found one thread talking about this but had no real resolution. [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/backdrops-from-artist-with-and-or-in-the-name.91696/#post-698896[/url] Plus I'm not 100% sure this is an ampersand issue anyway. I have an artist called "DJ T-Rock & Squashy Nice" in the ID3 tags. MP displays this as such. I uploaded some images for this artist to htbackdrops.com with the same string for the images 'Title'. These images do not show up when playing these tracks in MP. I checked the Managed Fanart tab and there no entries for this artist at all. I made sure the images were being returned in the htbackdrops.com query by using this URL: [url]http://htbackdrops.com/api/TESTKEY/searchXML?keywords=dj[/url] t-rock %26 squashy nice&inc=rating,keywords,caption,mb_name,mb_aliases,mb_tags It returns a HUGE list but my images are in there. However, the "title" node of the XML shows "&" in place of the "&". Could this be an issue? Here is some XML of my images. Again, this is within a huge list returned by the URL above.: [CODE=XML]-<image> <id>34184</id> <aid>1</aid> <album>1</album> -<title> <![CDATA[DJ T-Rock & Squashy Nice]]> </title> -<filename> <![CDATA[DJ_T-Rock___Squashy_Nice_1-1280x720.jpg]]> </filename> -<keywords> <![CDATA[DJ T-Rock Squashy Nice]]> </keywords> -<caption> <![CDATA[DJ T-Rock & Squashy Nice Art]]> </caption> <filesize>567229</filesize> <dimensions>1280x720</dimensions> <rating>0</rating> <votes>0</votes> </image> -<image> <id>34185</id> <aid>1</aid> <album>1</album> -<title> <![CDATA[DJ T-Rock & Squashy Nice]]> </title> -<filename> <![CDATA[DJ_T-Rock___Squashy_Nice_2-1280x720.jpg]]> </filename> -<keywords> <![CDATA[DJ T-Rock Squashy Nice]]> </keywords> -<caption> <![CDATA[DJ T-Rock & Squashy Nice Portraits]]> </caption> <filesize>491537</filesize> <dimensions>1280x720</dimensions> <rating>0</rating> <votes>0</votes> </image> -<image> <id>34186</id> <aid>1</aid> <album>1</album> -<title> <![CDATA[DJ T-Rock & Squashy Nice]]> </title> -<filename> <![CDATA[DJ_T-Rock___Squashy_Nice_Getting_Through-1280x720.jpg]]> </filename> -<keywords> <![CDATA[DJ T-Rock Squashy Nice]]> </keywords> -<caption> <![CDATA[DJ T-Rock & Squashy Nice - Getting Through Cover Art]]> </caption> <filesize>803507</filesize> <dimensions>1280x720</dimensions> <rating>0</rating> <votes>0</votes> </image> -<image> <id>34187</id> <aid>1</aid> <album>1</album> -<title> <![CDATA[DJ T-Rock & Squashy Nice]]> </title> -<filename> <![CDATA[DJ_T-Rock___Squashy_Nice_3-1280x720.jpg]]> </filename> -<keywords> <![CDATA[DJ T-Rock Squashy Nice Digging]]> </keywords> -<caption> <![CDATA[DJ T-Rock Digging]]> </caption> <filesize>661670</filesize> <dimensions>1280x720</dimensions> <rating>0</rating> <votes>0</votes> </image>[/code] What exactly does the Fanart Handler do with this XML response? What nodes does it try to match on? Is there a problem with the Fanart Handler, htbackdrops.com, or do I just need to edit my image properties in a particular way to get these pulled in? Thanks for any input. [/QUOTE]
