Add support for 'release date'-feature for internal (local) importers (for example XBMC) #1152

Open macxsm opened 8 years ago

macxsm commented 8 years ago

When using the internal importer "XBMC (local)" the 'release date'-feature is not supported. Instead 'release date' is filled with the date of the import. Check it, by unzipping and importing this nfo-file using the XBMC (local) scraper. 8.Mile.(2002).(1080p).(tt0298203).(ger).(eng).nfo.zip

The other option would be to add an option to use the 'year' instead of 'release date' in the Moving Pictures GUI.

Plz let me know if you need more info.

Thanks! Marco

Thanks for reporting, it's probably best just adding a seperate field to support release-date. If not provided then use the year as you say.

It is the case that it's a separate field. But if the importer (local) does not support this feature, it is filled with 'date of import' ( now() ) . And this is what's shown in MP. The year is actually imported correctly but there is no chance to show it in MP (except when getting movie info during play, usually 'y' button).
