I have roughly 600 movies with .nfo files and I store actor thumbs locally to speed things up, especially with my Apple TV.

The actor portion of .nfo files looks like this:

Code:

<actor>
            <name>Mel Gibson</name>
            <role>Lt. Col. Hal Moore</role>
            <thumb>\\WORKGROUP\Actor Thumbs\nm0000154.jpg</thumb>
        </actor>
        <actor>
            <name>Madeleine Stowe</name>
            <role>Julie Moore</role>
            <thumb>\\WORKGROUP\Actor Thumbs\nm0000656.jpg</thumb>
        </actor>
        <actor>
            <name>Greg Kinnear</name>
            <role>Maj. Bruce &apos;Snake&apos; Crandall</role>
            <thumb>\\WORKGROUP\Actor Thumbs\nm0001427.jpg</thumb>
        </actor>

If I scan for content on my Apple TV and then export the library, the same movie ends up like this:

Code:

<actor>
            <name>Mel Gibson</name>
            <role>Lt. Col. Hal Moore</role>
            <thumb>http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BNzA1MDkyMTM0NV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNjQxNjQxMQ@@._V1._SX512_SY512_.jpg</thumb>
        </actor>
        <actor>
            <name>Madeleine Stowe</name>
            <role>Julie Moore</role>
            <thumb>\\WORKGROUP\Actor Thumbs\nm0000656.jpg</thumb>
        </actor>
        <actor>
            <name>Greg Kinnear</name>
            <role>Maj. Bruce &apos;Snake&apos; Crandall</role>
            <thumb>\\WORKGROUP\Actor Thumbs\nm0001427.jpg</thumb>
        </actor>

And if I scan for content on my windows XBMC and then export the library, the same movie ends up like this:

Code:

<actor>
            <name>Mel Gibson</name>
            <role>Lt. Col. Hal Moore</role>
            <thumb></thumb>
        </actor>
        <actor>
            <name>Madeleine Stowe</name>
            <role>Julie Moore</role>
            <thumb>\\WORKGROUP\Actor Thumbs\nm0000656.jpg</thumb>
        </actor>
        <actor>
            <name>Greg Kinnear</name>
            <role>Maj. Bruce &apos;Snake&apos; Crandall</role>
            <thumb>\\WORKGROUP\Actor Thumbs\nm0001427.jpg</thumb>
        </actor>

In all the movies, the first actor thumb somehow gets lost.

Any idea what is going on and how to behave?

Nobody has any ideas??

[wsmeyer]

Since no one seems to have any ideas am I to understand that it is perfectly normal for it to act in a unpredictable haphazard way of reading .nfo files??

[jmarshall]

Probably noone else has noticed it is all.

Post a ticket on trac, including everything to reproduce (full steps, any nfo files needed etc.) and someone will take a look when they have a few spare minutes.

Cheers,
Jonathan
