Distorted Display of Actors Role in Apple TV


Recommended Posts

Using The Perfect Storm as an example:
On my Windows 10 PC in Chrome browser, under Cast & Crew: Diane Lane shows up as playing role of Christina " Chris " Cotter. (Info apparently retrieved from Trakt.tv ) Note spaces before and after Chris. 

 

On Apple TV, under Cast & Crew: Diane Lane shows up as playing role of Christina " Chris "   Apple TV does not seem to know what to do with a space followed by quotation mark. 

Thoughts?

It would appear the app does not know what to do with html code.  So I would question how is it written in the nfo file if you write nfo metadata?

But would assume it came from TVDB as there are slight differences in spacing on TVDB and TMDB.

I think the text string needs to be ran through this wrapper. Presently it is just showing whatever is inside as pure text.

If you use the metadata editor on the media item and edit the person, can you show a screenshot of that? Thanks.

Here is a screenshot of one of the items:

Is this what you mean?

There is an nfo file. I am an amateur, so I do not know how it was created but I see in it:

<actor>
    <name>Diane Lane</name>
    <role>Christina " Chris " Cotter</role>
    <type>Actor</type>
  </actor>


Does that answer any questions?

Speechles,

Thanks for the suggestion, but I do not know how to run anything through a "wrapper".

What am I missing?

Luke,

I posted a screenshot in response to your post. Does that show what you wanted to see?
