I think this may be a bug....

When I create an .nfo with only the following information:

Code:

<movie>
    <thumb>http://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/mr4b5Wuy9KPjz6DHMENX51fDu2L.jpg</thumb>
</movie>

The movie doesn't get named at all an appears as a blank entry in the movie list.

If I code it like this:

Code:

<movie>
    <thumb>http://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/mr4b5Wuy9KPjz6DHMENX51fDu2L.jpg</thumb>
</movie>
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041429/

Then the movie appears as it did before I added the .nfo file still using the old artwork and not the artwork specified.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Sure, you're missing all the other tags that contain title and such. The second example contains a URL, which tells Kodi to "fill in the blanks" using that imdb entry. Normally, Kodi won't look up data online at all if there is an NFO file.

Yes, I realize everything else is missing in the first example. I just wasn't sure if the result is as expected. I think that result it.

Right, and I expected it to fill in all the blanks, which it does, but it ignores my over-ride on the artwork that I specified. That's the glitch. I want to use a specific cover art.

Anyone able to confirm this is a bug or needs to be a feature request?

Here's an actual example of why I really need this to work....

I have a move called "The Immortal Battalion", which is an edited down version of the original movie titled "The Way Ahead". By default, Kodi correctly identifies the movie and uses the original title/artwork. However, I want it to use the alternate title (which does work) and the alternate art (which doesn't work). See the code I'm using below.

Code:

<movie>
    <title>The Immortal Battalion</title>
