Thanks for the workaround.
I have artist folders that contain special characters, e.g. <Cæcilie Norby> and <BLØF>, maybe that's causing the script to crash?

It shouldn't. Seriously it shouldn't. I have tested and re-coded, and re-tested, and used about every scenario I can think of. Extended characters in everything from song names to album names to artist names to folder name of all types work fine on my setup and, I think, for most people. But every once in awhile some don't work, and I don't know why. I remember another developer posting here that there are bugs in the python Unicode support and provided a non-trivially sized set of code to work around it, but I didn't really understand what it was doing, so I opted not to go that route.

If you do get crashes, please continue to post debug logs (see my signature for instructions). I'll look at it and at least try and be upfront about what I will try and fix.

Ok, Thanks a lot for the good work. Meanwhile I have tried to use AS (after applying the workaround, thanks for that!) with artists like <Cæcilie Norby> and AS 1.5.4. works as opposed to 1.5.2. that stopped working correctly with special characters. Major improvement!

Seems annoying that Python behaves kind of randomly and you can't get hold of what's causing the bug. Luckily the workaround you provided worked!

One other question: I deleted my .nfo files since migration did not work (script error) and have chosen to let AS re-download the .nfo files. However AEON NOX skin expects those files to be in the extrafanart folder and not in the local cache! This means I cannot get the similar artists etc, information anymore in AEON NOX. Is there a solution to this?

UPDATE
Tried again today, And now seems to work with AEON NOX. Sorry for the hassle.
