[QUOTE="Andrew H, post: 754102, member: 56239"] [b]Has anyone got 100% reliable Series/Episode data?[/b] How well is your TV-Series working with the SchedulesDirect info? What I mean is these providers seem to have issue presenting the correct Season/Episode numbers and sometimes simply do not. I know the dude managing the SD Plug-in has created a tab to go and poll the myTVDB and obtain them [I]when they're not present[/I] - do you find that's working or are there enough "bad" S/E entries already inside the SD data to cause you grief? I mention this because, as you said, what's $20/year if it works right out o' the box. On the other hand, I'm currently using mc2xml and the microsoft.com data (which is hit & miss on S/E population and accuracy) and am now dabbling with this new [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/electronic-program-guide-67/new-tool-episodescanner-adds-series-episodenumbers-your-mediaportal-4tr-epg-76220/"]episodescanner utility[/URL] to do the same as the SD's "tab." If it works out I may expand a small C++ app (a buddy o' mine wrote) to clear all of the SeriesEpisode values which would force this episodescanner utility to grab the S/E data for [I]every[/I] show I have scheduled since there would be none left in the MP database to query. As I say, how's the quality of the SD data and the SD plug-in for you? Thanks [/QUOTE]
