I run XBMC on a Raspberry Pi (raspbmc). I have added some favourites to the favourites list, but now every time the home screen loads i get the following error:"Error - Error in script: Favourites script"

The debug log shows the following:

Code:

I assume this is related to a specific favourites item that I have added, but I'm unsure what item that would have been. Any suggestions for resolving this error?

Never mind - I had a look in the favourites.xml file, and there was an entry with loads of special characters (#,',...). I removed the entry - and things are working again!
