[QUOTE="smarty12345, post: 1261885, member: 116919"] I have found a bit of an issue with the way TMM writes NFOs for Media portal. At least specifically if using Moving Pictures for their movies. (I don't know if it applies to MPs built in "Videos" as I don't use it. I use local NFOs created by TMM and the Local data scraper. Most fields populate fine. But I am unable to get the Genres field to do so. I believe the issue is that the NFO is created with genres in the following format. <genres> <genre>Action</genre> <genre>Comedy</genre> </genres> It would seem either the scraper or the plugin itself isn't able to read the data in that layout. and needs the data to be as <genres>Action|Comedy</genres> The reason I believe this is a limitation of the plugin itself is that it doesn't have an issue importing data in the same format for Actors, but the same issue is also there for Directors, writers, studios, collections, languages etc. But TMM already writes that data in "plain text" either separated by a " | " or a " , " Would it be at all possible to change TMM so that it can write the genres data in the same way so that Moving Pictures can import the data? If so, it may be an idea to do the same for the collections field, as I could see that also being an issue if you had a film with overlapping collections. eg : Ant-man could be in both "AntMan Collection" and "Marvel Collection".
