[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1210480, member: 109222"] I know and understand this right for sure... This affects only the search for episodes and season numbers on TVDB, not the displayed description. I don't know if TVguide.com always has proper season and episodes numbers included. Most other EPG sources don't have. So after downloading the "raw" EPG data we are looking through the programs if there are some that can be identified as a series episode. Then we do an online lookup at TVDB to add proper season and episodes numbers to the final EPG data for this program. If this should be done, can be selected for every channel separately as not all channels are airing series. For those channels w/o series the lookup is useless and only a waste of time. Example... "The Flintstones" are named "Los Picapiedra" in Spanish. So if you have a Series named "Los Picapiedra" and do an online lookup in English at TVDB you won't get any result. You need to do the lookup in Spanish to get a proper result. Up to now you can do this successfully only for English programs, not for Spanish ones, as the online lookup on TVDB always is done in English. This will and has to be changed soon. [/QUOTE]
