Hi there,  
  
  
  
I’m using XBMC NFO Importer plugin for metadata since I’m also using MyMovies for Mediacenter as a metadata backend. MyMovies generates XBMC compatible NFO files and plugin imports those to Plex library. The problem is MyMovies uses multiple genres for movies. Here is the to partial nfo file example for 2 separate movies:

```auto

Movie 1:<br />
<genre>Animation / Adventure / Family / Children</genre><br />
Movie 2:<br />
<genre>Fantasy / Action / Animation / Family</genre>

```

  
  
As a result both movies listed in to separate "Animation" genre filter as seen in screen shot. Should I report this to here or to XBMC.nfo.importer plugin author?
