I don't follow the development of MythTV, and I'm not even sure that IMDbPY will be used in future releases (they were rewriting a lot of their code to retrieve movies' information, the last time I checked, and they were thinking about changing the source for the information they need). > 3.6 used to report the plot of a movie as: Author::Content [...] > 3.9 plot is formed as: Content::Author A deliberate choice: I know it's backward incompatible, but there were really no other ways to fix it, and it was required to have every string in the same format: "TEXT_INFORMATION::OPTIONAL_NOTE". Another change of 3.9 is that movie['year'] is now an integer, an not a string like it was for historical reasons (btw, this should not be a big deal, most of the times). You have to fix the code in the MythTV script, sorry. > Also, some bugs introduced... I didn't investigate this one too > much yet.
