The tools works really good, but i have problem with Ember in the parsing of nfo file! PS I have the option in settings of Ember to fix the unconform nfo files.

If my NFO file original is this

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<episodedetails>

  <title>Brownie Tiramisu</title>

  <aired>2016-06-11</aired>

  <season>1</season>

  <plot>Brownie Tiramisu</plot>

  <dateadded>2016-06-11 09:30:00</dateadded>

</episodedetails>

after the parse of Ember result in:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<episodedetails>

  <title>Brownie Tiramisu</title>

  <aired>2016-06-11</aired>

  <season>1</season>

  <plot>Brownie Tiramisu</plot>

  <dateadded>2016-06-11 09:30:00</dateadded>

</episodedetails>

so basically is the same! Blush

infact the video in database is correct, with all field correct!

BUT if my original NFO is this:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<episodedetails>

  <title>Baked Ham & Cheese Ring</title>

  <aired>2016-06-11</aired>

  <season>1</season>

  <plot>Baked Ham & Cheese Ring</plot>

  <dateadded>2016-06-11 09:30:00</dateadded>

</episodedetails>

after the parse of Ember result in:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<episodedetails>

  <title>Baked Ham &amp; Cheese Ring</title>

  <season>1</season>

  <episode>262</episode>

  <fileinfo>

    <streamdetails>

      <audio>

        <channels>2</channels>

        <codec>aac</codec>

      </audio>

      <video>

        <aspect>1.779</aspect>

        <codec>h264</codec>

        <durationinseconds>53</durationinseconds>

        <height>480</height>

        <scantype>Progressive</scantype>

        <width>854</width>

        <filesize>4610964</filesize>

      </video>

    </streamdetails>

  </fileinfo>

  <dateadded>2016-06-11 09:30:00</dateadded>

</episodedetails>

you can notice that the aired and plot tag was removed and the video detail was added! In the database there are plot and aired date empty!

I think the problem is the "&" character.
How can i resolve this situation? I find for a solution to write directly the nfo file with the & but i can't fine much.

Thanks in advance for help!

You have to replace all special characters from column "Character Reference" with the value in column "Entity Reference": Link

Dan you think is possible to do this in the batch file? or i need another script (in other program language) to edit the string?

DOS - String Manipulation

I solved in a better way. For downloading videos i use youtube-dl, and in the documentation i found the switch "--restrict-filenames". So when i download i generate file without any special character, only alphanumerical and "_" in place of spaces.
With a very simple batch file i replace all underscore with spaces, and keep going to use other batch file to generate nfo file!

Thanks Dan for support!
