I just tried SWAT and got a list of 10 movies or so, none of them SWAT.
But at least it gave me a chance to enter the IMDB number. When I
entered: 0257076 it printed "MyhVideo: Error parsing poster filename."
and failed.
Is this what you get?
Same thing happens on Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers...
If I creatw the file name as "S.W.A.T.", it fails completely (i.e., does
not even import the filename into the database correctly. It imports
"S W A".
I think the authors ought to do some work on this algorithm. There
shouldn't be any characters in file names which cause it to fail.
I also noticed that non-ascii characters are converted to html entity
names but then the display fails to convert them back to iso8859-1, so
they print with the &#XXX; characters. I see this mainly in the "plot"
field.
Is there a formal bug reporting procedure or does one simply post these
here?
