		<description>Dustin, one more request. Currently the description tag in the NFO file contains special characters which means the NFO cannot be parsed by an XML reader. Can these be parsed out or converted prior to writing to the NFO file? As an example ampersand is found in a lot of the descriptions, this should be &amp;.

Cheers.</description>

I&#039;d like to run this feature because often the trailers are &quot;Not yet rated&quot;. If this does what I think it does then it goes to imdb to get the correct MPAA rating instead of using the one on Apple&#039;s website. Very useful for me as I&#039;m using this with HTE and trying to make a mod to that script so trailers play by rating.

		<description>I (and my kids) love this script however I would like to make a feature request. Is it possible to add a switch/parameter to filter on MPAA rating? Because HTE currently does not support the NFO file and because I use HTE mainly for the kids, it would be nice to only download PG or under rated movies. This prevents the likes of Saw IV trailer being shown before Princess &amp; The Pea starts :) So a switch that supports multiple ratings and filters on them like --rating=PG&#124;12 etc. I think would be great!

Great job!</description>

		<description>Doesn&#039;t seem to matter what options I specify..

I&#039;ve been running it as:

#&gt; python /usr/local/bin/atd-2.2/atd.py --dest=&quot;/media/trailers&quot;

The /media/trailers is world r/w, the trailer_dl.db file is created properly, it appears to want to download but no data ever comes down;

#&gt; ls -lh /media/trailers
total 436K
-rw-r--r-- 1 pat pat 0 2010-01-29 12:38 copout-tlr1_h1080p-trailer.mov
-rw-r--r-- 1 pat pat 432K 2010-01-29 12:38 trailer_dl.db

Stumped :)</description>

		<description>Hi Dustin,

update:
atd.exe --respref &quot;720p&quot; --tdate=2010-03-01 --fake
Fetching trailer list from Apple.
downloading because of trailer date: Karate Kid
downloading because of trailer date: The Runaways
downloading because of trailer date: Killers
downloading because of trailer date: The Good Heart
downloading because of trailer date: A Nightmare On Elm Street
downloading because of trailer date: After.Life
6 trailers to fetch. (Limiting dl to 0 MB)

While there are 14 trailers after 1st of March. If the param should include the trailers from 1st of March too, then there are even more.

To make it clear. This is really not a complaint, thank you for the wonderful script, I am just wondering if you can do anything about this?

Thank you!</description>

		<description>Hi Dustin,

thanks for the feedback. Two comments:
 - I ran again the script in the afternoon and two of the 4 new trailers from yesterday has been downloaded (The Runaway and After.Life), but two is still remaining. Based on this most probably they will be downloaded as well at some future run...

I needed the extra quotemarks, because I found no other way to save the trailers without the &quot;-trailer&quot; string addition.</description>

		<description>@olympia:  I suspect those are trailers it had trouble downloading because of connection issues or some such thing.  I&#039;m running a test with your commandline now (except I removed the extra quote marks you have).</description>
