[pletopia]

this is something i noticed a while back but never got around to reporting it but since its still present in builds (i have r21082 at the moment running)

basically i REALLY like the idea of mixed url and xml nfo's .. it lets me have the abililty to specify certain fields in the db while having xbmc import from imdb.com the latest info for other fields when i upgrade or want to reload

anyway .. what i found is that some (not all tags) get pulled and entered into the db from both the nfo and imdb

i created a nfo file with MIP and added a imdb.com url to the movies page at the end of the file .. after i imported the movie into xbmc i open up the myvideos34.db file in SQLiteSpy and took a look at the movie in the movie table

looking through the columns i noticed some have dupes
genre (Action / Adventure / Thriller / Action / Adventure / Thriller)
director (Lee Tamahori / Lee Tamahori)
studio (Eon Productions / Eon Productions)

the only reason i bring this up is that i want to be able to set studio manually in some movies since some skins now have studio flags and not every default scrape from imdb gives a good studio (like in my example i rather set studio to United Artists

when i manually set studio in the nfo file <studio>United Artists</studio> and i looked into the db i had "Eon Productions / United Artists" in the column

hope this makes sense
