I have a problem when using the extended info script to get artist details when artist names have a "," in them. I was told that this may be a general problem that
effects all addons and could be a core problem therefore i'm posting here also.

More detail can be found in this thread... http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid1825512

If running a script using...

PHP Code:

RunScript(script.extendedinfo,info=artistdetails,artistname=$INFO[Container(50).ListItem.Property(Headliner)],silent=False) 


And the artist names have a "," included like "Crosby, Stills, & Nash" for instance. It seems to ignore anything in the $INFO tag after the ",".
When I run the script it will only return data for "Crosby".

Running the script with "Crosby, Stills, & Nash" you can see that it found "Crosby" and it ignored anything after the "," to get the mbid. It then
shows "Stills & Nash" under that as just extra text or something. But it discards anything after "," to get the mbid.

I'm running Helix nightlies but this has been happening when running Gotham also. It seems as though $ESCINFO doesn't seem to work anymore, if I
use $ESCINFO it acts as though you just ran the script with an empty call.

Not too many artists have a "," in their names so it's not too big of a deal but I thought maybe you all should be aware of this and can maybe check into it. Thanks.

Thx for opening a thread for this. I´d be really grateful if some of the experienced coders here could look into it since it probably affects a lot more scripts.
In Frodo I could use ESCINFO[] to pass arguments with special chars to the script. In Gotham and Helix ESCINFO[] just returns an empty string, no matter which infolabel I use. Anyone havin an idea what could cause this? (I think something like $NUMBER[] was added to prevent auto label translation in the nearer past, not sure if that is connected to this bug)

EDIT: seems as if it works when using '$ESCINFO[]' (including quotation marks)
