[QUOTE="BlueBomber, post: 645663, member: 101816"] Hey everybody. Just wondering if anybody has gotten the XBMC (Local) scraper script to play nice when using VIDEO_TS folders, as I seem to be struggling. The scraper I am running is XBMC (Local), v1.0.3, published 5/30/2010. I used the 'MP Artwork & Info Coppier' app to create XBMC compatible .nfo files for about 5 movies, all named movie.nfo. The .nfo files are placed in the parent movie folder. I then disabled the NFO scanner, and set XBMC (Local) as the ONLY scraper to check for movie details. I then try to run an import, and while all of my movies are detected, I get the little blue circle with an "i" indicating that it can't find any matches. Here's the weird thing. If I rename the movie.nfo file to VIDEO_TS.nfo, it will be detected and then auto approved. Unfortunately, the only data that is imported from the .nfo file is the 'Alternate Title' field and the IMDb ID, like so: [IMG]http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/4928/moviemanager.gif[/IMG] Here is an exact copy of the movie.nfo file for 'A Serious Man', in case anybody notices anything right off the bat: [spoiler]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <movie> <title>A Serious Man</title> <sorttitle>serious man a</sorttitle> <rating>7.2</rating> <year>2009</year> <plot>Bloomington, Minnesota, 1967: Jewish physics lecturer Larry Gopnik is a serious and a very put-upon man. His daughter is stealing from him to save up for a nose job,his pot-head son,who gets stoned at his own bar-mitzvah,only wants him round to fix the T.V. aerial and his useless brother Arthur is an unwelcome house guest. But both Arthur and Larry get turfed out into a motel when Larry's wife Judy,who wants a divorce, moves her lover,Sy, into the house and even after Sy's death in a car crash they are still there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated - I would LOVE to be able to backup my customized movie information and re-import instantaneously if anything were to happen to the database! THANKS! EDIT: [SIZE="6"] WHOOOOAAA WHOA WHOA.[/SIZE] Just found the problem. The 'MP Artwork & Info Coppier' app is adding an extra '</movie>' line at the end of the file, as can be seen in the example above. Removal of this line imports the data flawlessly - all .nfo files still have to be named VIDEO_TS.nfo for the scraper to recognize it as an XBMC NFO file. Surprised that nobody else has brought this up - I wonder if this is a bug with VIDEO_TS structured movies? ANYWAYS. Looks like it was a problem with the actual NFO files I was trying to import.
