Hi is it possible to exclude this somehow. Looks like about 5 movies I have have \N in their Genre tag and even when manually updating the genre and locking it these end up getting updated and re-appearing.

That would stop the collection being created

#

Why some items have that as a genre I don't know

#

Can you give me the name of one of the movies that has that genre @dusk dust ?

If you remove the genre from those movies and re-run PMM, if it comes back can you provide that log

#

They have the \N Genre because imdb does not have a genre specified for the movies. If you go to imdb and create an account you can suggest a genre for them and the problem should go away. I ran into this with a different movie.

I manually matched a movie to Kiklee (1960) and ran mass_genre_update: imdb and did not get \N as a genre:

#

I just updated this on imdb the other day that maybe why?

#

Lambardarni 1980 but having said that, I have checked today and genre is blank rather than \n maybe a refesh of meta data fixed it?

#

I was able to reproduce this, thanks

#

Tagging for @narrow arch to review - if mass_genre_update: imdb is used and the item has no genres, it instead applies \N as a genre. Seen with the movie Lambhardarni in this log

So today I noticed this is back, even though i though added the exclude correctly. I have just manually updates the genres on IMDB so that will fix this issue for me anyway. I have not updated the genre for Lambardarni just incase you want to use it as a test movie

@dusk dust a PR has been submitted to fix this
