IMDB ID lost when importing XBMC .nfo file

[riconster]

Hi,

When I import a folder that contains a video file and an XBMC .nfo file, the IMDB field is not imported.

My .nfo file contains this entry:

Code: Select all

     <id moviedb = "IMDb"> tt0252117 </id>

And only if it is modified recognizes it:

Code: Select all

     <id> tt0252117 </id>

Obviously I cannot modify all my .nfo files so I am writing to ask for a solution to be able to import the IMDB ID without modifying the text structure of my .nfo file (which is created with the ViMediaManager program on Mac).

Code: Select all

I would also like to know how I could import the information from an .nfo file even if there is no video file. When I try it only imports the name of the .nfo file and not its content. There must be a video file next to the .nfo file in order to import the information, but I would like to import the data even if there is no video file.

Hopefully it can be resolved. Thank you!
