[Freevo-devel] FXD file generated is invalid

[Brian J. Murrell]

I was trying out the IMDB search function for video items and the FXD
that was generated after the search was invalid.  I got the following
stack trace:

The FXD file:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<freevo>
  <copyright>
    The information in this file are from the Internet Movie Database (IMDb).
    Please visit http://www.imdb.com for more informations.
    <source url="http://www.imdb.com/Title?0313043"/>
  </copyright>
  <movie title="C.S.I.: Miami">
    <video>
      <file id="f1">CSI: Miami: Freaks & Tweaks.avi</file>
    </video>
    <info>
      <rating></rating>
      <plot>The cases of the Miami, Florida police department's Crime Scene 
Investigations unit.</plot>
      <genre>Crime / Mystery</genre>
      <tagline>A city to die for.</tagline>
      <runtime>60 min</runtime>
      <year>2002</year>
    </info>
  </movie>
</freevo>

As you can see the "&" in the "file id" tag was not escaped into an
"&amp;".

So, given I have an fxd file for a video item, how do I display the
<plot> item in Freevo for a given title?
