> [@](#): > > Just wanted to let you know that James has fixed the bug around the name, so as soon as we push a new framework update you'll be able to get the name in the search() function. So is the fix designed to show the results.append(blahblahblah) in the "Fix incorrect match" search results? I still have the issue of xbmcnfo not running until after I choose a name. This means that the agent would not have the ability to run before the list is populated. Or will it allow for the filepath to be exposed in search()? I think running a scanner as a one off when you first import data might also fix the problem. Working on learning git now, but I think I can whip this up tonight. ---

> [@](#): > > updated genres. and once I figure out how to upload to git, I'll put it in. Isaac was telling me how to do it last night for one of my plugins. I just tried the plugin and it now finds genres for my movies. Unfortunately as Chris3452 already said only one genre is accepted. (separated by , ; / or space) It is still not possible to get info from the .nfo if the movie isn't found by clicking "fix incorrect match". But I think this is fixed by James as elan wrote a few hours ago. - I hope so. :) Thanks a lot. I will test more tomorrow. ---

> [@](#): > > @dawiinci: Your log shows every genre was added (Added genre: xxx) but only one genre is available in the movie info? The problem is that it handles "Action, Adventure" as one genre instead of two. But maybe I just have to write it different. ```auto 2010-09-17 11:48:26,893 (-4faed000) : INFO ( __init__ ) - Added genre: Comedy, Action
``` ---

Harley, I get this ```auto CRITICAL (core) - Exception in the update function of agent named 'XBMC .nfo Importer', called with guid ``` and this ```auto ~/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/XBMCnfo.bundle/Contents/Code/ __init__.py", line 39, in update
(id, metadata)=self.scrapeNfo(metadata, media, lang) ``` ```auto ~/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/XBMCnfo.bundle/Contents/Code/ __init__.py", line 125, in scrapeNfo
data = HTTP.Request(nfoXML.xpath('./thumb')[0].text) ``` This is in the part of the code that deals with actor thumbs. In my limited testing, it seems that the code causes an exception when it meets the first actor entry that does not contain a element. Can you fix that? :) Also, it doesn't seem that the Plex client displays the actor info (in the extended movie info ("i")/ the Cast tab). ---

I now change all to Action/Comedy (without spaces). I think with spaces there would be probably duplicates like \_Action and Action. ---

MTI: i've started using github for tracking of my apps and agents. go to this link, http://github.com/HooliganHarls/XBMCnfo.bundle and look in the top right for the "download source" link. I have updated so it should not crash on no thumbs present. ---
