some precision :

if you rerun yamj with R2833 without xml overwrite and if the xml has been already generated are with R2819 (perhaps after) ==> no cast,writer,director if you run yamj with R2833 and you have deleted first the (cast, director, writer) xml file (or set xmloverwrite=true) ===> cast, writer, director are indexed and OK

bad news,

• generation for people (cast, writer, director, person) works only for the movie.xml newly created , for all the movie.xml already created (even if previously created with R2833) the people generation is skipped ==> that would say, need to rebuild the all jukebox contents each time

I can confirm this issue (using r2835, mjb.people=true). First scan: XML contains all people data After Rescan: no people data in XMLs anymore

I'm lost here; I couldn't find the reason for the above described problem (r2843) :-( The other thing is: In the past before all this started I got the people block and didn't have the annoyingly long scan of the people database (movie links, pictures, etc.). Now without mjb.people=true I don't get the short people block anymore but with mjb.people=true and xmloverwrite=true it starts to scan "all" people data. How can I get back the people block (it's needed by eversion) without people images/xmls?

Yes I can confirm the same result with R2845. The initial scan worked well and all people data was present in xmls. Second scan removed the people data from the xml files.

Does a rebuild of xml files mean that photos will have to be redownloaded?
