Global Search broken?

[cgrey000 23]

Not sure when this started - I don't use it very often, but I know it worked in the past month.

 

Trying the global search function results in a script failed error. Relevant section of the XBMC log below:

Yep - that is due to the recent changes - good find.  Need to do a check in data.get("BackdropImageTags")!=None, and if then assign totalbackdrops, otherwise totalbackdrops=0.

Can anyone help?
