I have just upgraded my freevo install from 1.4 to 1.5rc3 and am noticing a potential problem with the displaying of data from folder.fxd files in the movie tree. Freevo 1.5 skins do not seem to display the <plot> or <tagline> info, nor do they use the <cover-img> defined for the relevant movie file(s).

My basic movie tree...
Videos/
Concerts/
folder.fxd
PinkFloyd_Pulse(LiveAtEarlsCourt_10-20-1994)-Part1.mpg


PinkFloyd_Pulse(LiveAtEarlsCourt_10-20-1994)-Part2.mpg

My folder.fxd in the /Videos/Concerts folder...

<freevo>
<folder>

<content>Live concerts and compilation videos</content>

<movie title="Pink Floyd: Pulse">

<tagline>Live At Earl's Court (October 1994)</tagline>
<plot>A live performance from October 20, 1994, PULSE records the great psychedelic band Pink Floyd rocking out like only they can. Renowned for their hallucinatory special effects and lighting schemes, Pink Floyd goes all out at this spectacular (and very long) concert. Twenty-one of their classics are performed, including classic rock radio staples "Dark Side of The Moon" and "Wish You were Here."


Songs: Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Learning To Fly, High Hopes, Take It Back, Coming Back To Life, Sorrow, Keep Talking, Another Brick In The Wall, One Of These Days, Speak To Me, Breathe, On The Run, Time, The Great Gig In The Sky, Money, Us And Them, Any Colour You Like, Brain Damage, Eclipse, Wish You Were Here, Comfortably Numb, Run Like Hell

With 1.5 I do see the files in the Concerts folder, but with a default image and no plot or tagline info. The space where the skin is supposed to display that info is just blank. All I see in the info area is the filename and the runtime.

I have added print statements in the relevant source .py files and I see that the folder.fxd file is read and parsed and the plot and tagline data is stored in the item.info array, but it would seem the skin handling functions don't agree :(

Has something changed with the handling of movie data in the folder.fxd files?

If I rename folder.fxd to Concerts.fxd then the plot and tagline info are displayed for each <movie> entry in the directory list of the _parent_ folder!! That's not quite what I want :)
