XBMC NFO importer for movies - poster images issue

[sfnetwork]

After a lot of troubleshooting to find out why the NFO importer for movie never used my posters I finally found why...

It seems to be ONLY looking for "(moviefilename)-poster.jpg" (and completely ignore my "poster.jpg".)

 

It should be also looking for "poster.jpg" as this is the XBMC naming convention standard in Frodo for movies in dedicated folders.

The convention  "(moviefilename)-poster.jpg" is more for movies all in one folder.

part of the logs confirming this:

I tested creating a  "(moviefilename)-poster.jpg" and it works which proves my point....

 

***To work around this, I have to use the "local media asset" agent first so it takes the folder.jpg or poster.jpg.

I really think this should be fixed as I'm not going to change my naming convention for this and I would prefer only use this agent (without the "local media asset")

I prefer isolating specific issues in separate tread to avoid different conversations mixed up in the main tread. (also easier to search after for other user)

Sorry if I shouldn't...

***I also submitted this to GitHub and it's already fixed!!!
