I noticed a few pages ago the inclusion of "/" as a separator for collaborations. Seems to work well, nice inclusion. I do however have an issue with AC/DC. Can't find a way around it, some dude called AC keeps showing up in the fanart. Smile

any hints on how to bypass this appreciated.

So, oops. That's a bug. Actually, it's a design flaw, and there isn't a work around right now. I'll need to look at it this weekend, but I think what I'll have to do is set it up to separate based on " / " (note the spaces) instead of just the slash. The thing is, that wont quite match what the DBMS scraper does. So another option is not to separate on the slash at all. The last one is to allow for a local override file where you could put names that should not be split. That's e most flexible, but also the biggest pain for the user.

Anyone have thoughts or suggestions before I dive into this?

I think Artist Slideshow needs to continue to recognize the " / " divider (including spaces) as that is how the XBMC library recognizes[/quote] multiple entries in one field by default:

'[ Wrote:XBMC wikiI[/i]']For many categories, such as genres and artists, XBMC supports multiple values in the one field. By default it uses the character sequence " / " to divide the entry into multiple values. This divider may be changed via advancedsettings.xml.[/i]
