Anyway to change Season # to something else? (1 Viewer)

[jpichie]

Hey All:
I have been using MP for over a week now, and I absolutely love it.
I was wondering if it is possible to have the my series view not be
series -> season # -> episodes

For the anime Avatar - Last Air bender for example
Would I be able to have it be
Avatar -> Chapter 1 - Book Of Water -> episodes

or will MP only handle the first view I explained...

Thanks

Sorry, we currently have no support for custom Season names. It does sound like a neat suggestion though to get more information about the seasons you have available.

So far it looks like it would really only apply to cartoon/animes, such as Dragonball, Bleach, Avatar, etc.

Would also help for a lot of other shows like Kamen Rider, Ultraman and Super Sentai where the series title changes every year but tvdb gives them season numbers. It's absolutely useless at present trying to work out which of 25 series I actually want to watch when they are only numbered.

I know the benefits of having it all in same plugin, and perhaps down the road changes can be made to MP-TVSeries to make it more adaptable, but do not forget just like we have MovingPictures for Movies, MP-TVSeries for TV shows; there is MyAnime for Anime.

The shows I listed aren't anime. They are live-action tv shows. There are plenty more tv series that would benefit from series names instead of numbers. The last two Torchwood series for starters. Programmes that are year specific so would be better off having the seasons listed as years instead of the tvdb's start at 1 listing style.
