Sorry if this is a dumb question...
If I do an "Update Library" scan in Ember for new TV shows, it will rename any new ".nfo" files it encounters to the ".info" extension. (Only for nfo files it does not have it its library). This plays havoc with my XBMC player.
Is there a way to stop it doing this?
I'm using the latest version (from Sept 24, 2013).
Thanks!

there is a setting during setup ( or in the GUI) where you can tick this off, unfortunately am not at home so will inform you of this later, but if you go to edit ---> settings --- and trawl through from the beginning you should see it

The problem is the entries without value, this for example:
<displayseason />
<displayepisode />
<credits />
<thumb />
Mostly Visual Basic raises an error here.
I do not know if this is a bug of VB, because the XML parser is not self-programming.
I check whether these entries can be removed beforehand.

Latest version of Ember has started renaming .nfo's generated by Sickbeard to .info for some reason. Changed Ember to overwrite instead of rename for now but would like to know the cause.

Fair enough but if there's an .info in the folder with the media file XBMC doesn't pick anything up. No matter how often I update the library, it finds nothing. As soon as I remove the .info or add a valid .nfo it suddenly finds the file.
Overwriting seems the easier option? Or no scaping at all and let XBMC figure it out.
