[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1239375, member: 109222"] The "air date" (means the date that is listed on TVDB as "first aired") also is not available in your example (nor is it in mine). EPG-Grabber needs to know something that is comparable with TVDB and can be searched by the TVDB API. The series name, the episodes name and the used language (the configured metadata language in EPG-Buddy) is needed to get a positive result. Without knowing the EPG data is in German it's hard to find "Die Simpsons" on TVDB... Indeed this is definitely used by MediaPortal. The "sub-title" tag is read into the TV database as the episode name and will be displayed in the Guide. An example from MP2 (I know similar is available in MP1 too): [ATTACH=full]196150[/ATTACH] You can see the episode from "Torchwood" is from season 1 and is episode 13 with the German episode title "Das Ende aller Tage" (original title is End of Days). Also this is MP2 the same is possible in MP1 for sure... The episode title "Das Ende aller Tage" is stored in this sub-title tag in the xml file and is read by the xmltv plugin.. [/QUOTE]
