This is a significant problem. Resolver never updates boxee content database when contents of any .nfo file changes. This means there is no way to update a broken resolution without destroying and recreating the entire media database, which can take hours to rebuild.

>>Fiona 1.1.1

If this isn't going to be included with the initial release of NFO processing, is there a workaround available? Would it be update the NFO, clear out media database, and rescan? Or?

I'll add a vote to this.

Often, fields such as the plot summary are not always available when the .nfo is first scan. As the file ages, this becomes available. Boxee should be able to re-process the .nfo files when this occurs.

At the least, provide an option to force the .nfo to be re-examined somehow. Deleting the entire library and re-adding it is *not* a good solution, considering this can take several hours.

+ 1 from me, especially regarding TV-SHOWS.

i'm afraid resetting my library is going to give me more work organizing than its worth.. when could this be fixed?

(OffT: im new to jira, does "Fix Version/s: Client > Heidi" mean that it will be fixed in a later version called "Heidi"?)
