you shouldn't be casting stuff to str like that or you will run into all sorts of unicode problems as you are finding out. you need to make sure all your text is properly encoded unicode in order to cope with all the accents and other 'odd' characters. as i said earlier, if you use t0mm0.common.net to grab the page the unicode stuff should all be sorted out for you.

also wouldn't it be better to make it so that the dict returned by the meta stuff was ready to be used as an infolabel rather than having to mess with it in the addon?

Hi t0mm0
I have used html = net.http_GET(url).content to get the page
is this what you mean or is there something else that i need to do.?

ie

Code:

html = net.http_GET(url).content
        match=re.compile('<li class="searchList"><a href="(.+?)">(.+?)</a> <span>(.+?)</span>').findall(html)
    
        metaget=metahandlers.MetaData()
        
        for url,name,sYear in match:
            sYear = sYear.replace('(','')
            sYear = sYear.replace(')','')
            name = name.replace(':','')
            
            meta = metaget.get_meta('', 'movie', name, sYear)
            infoLabels = create_infolabels(meta, name)
            addon.add_directory({'mode' : 'GetMovieSource', 'url' : url}, name , total_items=len(match))

not too sure what you mean with 'dict returned by the meta stuff was ready to be used as an infolabel' as i am just using eldorado's example

would really appreciate an example , if time permits.

tks
