Same issue here

This indicates an issue with one of the formatting variables inside the NFO Template. Though may also happen in your Description Template. The exact issue cannot be inferred from the log.

However, you can see it's having an error doing obj[i] where obj is a string and i is ALSO a string. E.g. foo = "Hello World"; foo["Hello"]. This is a Runtime error. It is not immediately clear as to why this occurred. In the example templates only the imdb is accessed via indexing ([...]), specifically to get the title and year. The Cinemageor project is used to talk with IMDb and has been having issues with IMDb's updates. Even the latest release is fairly broken. What's possible is the imdb variable exposed to templates is not as expected and is now a string or some other crap variable.

Therefore, this would be an upstream issue that I cannot fix here. A temporary solution is to install the latest code from the Cinemagoer GitHub repository, which is never really recommended for various reasons, but I have done this before and it worked fine.

It's a stock example template movie.nfo from this repo.

Then yeah it's likely the Cinemagoer project. I'll look further into it and see if I can find a solution.
