Full Version: TMDB scraped info problem

Most of the time I use EMM to get all my movie info but sometimes I forget and a movie gets scraped by XBMC which now uses TMDB by default. This is fine except when it comes to the Genre tag.

Firstly they have 'film' at the end of every Genre, which seems pointless to me seeing as it's a film anyway, and also lengthens the Genre label unnesseceraly (ie Thiller Film / Horror Film / Action Film) but this is probably best addressed over there than on here.

My main problem is the fact that XBMC not only scrapes the Genre but also everything else in the Category section (Audience, Genre, Production and Standing) so you end up with a huge list of stuff in your Genre info tag.

eg Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer -

Thriller Film / Psychological Thriller / Hollywood Film / Guy Movie / Pretty Hard Stuff
This should be resolved when we move to tmdb 2.1 scraper, which should be soon. see here for info.

And here for status
