EPG Series Information (1 Viewer)

[Grrrrrrr]

MediaPortal Version: 1.1.3
MediaPortal Skin: Streamed MP
Windows Version: 7

I have been trying to get series information added to the epg from radiotimes tv listings in the UK. I have used an xmltv grabber called XMLTV GUI, and grabbed the data from the radiotimes source and that file has the episode information in it in this format:

<episode-num system="xmltv_ns">7.3/12.</episode-num>

I then enabled the XMLTV plugin, and mapped the channels, which shows as correctly mapped. However, the episode information that is placed alongside the recorded tv file in the recorded tv folder contains no data for seriesnum, episodenum or episodepart.

<SimpleTag>
<name>EPISODENUM</name>
<value>
</value>
</SimpleTag>

Would anyone be able to tell me whether this functionality is supported in mediaportal 1.1.3, and if so, give me any advice on how to get the episodes and series information to work?

Also, I did try using WebEPG initially with similar results.

Thanks

Hi.
TV Server database has such field as seriesNum, episodeNum, episodePart, episodeNumber and eepisodeName so it is possible to get series info in theory.
One of the russian webepg grabbers can fill seriesNum with season number and episodeNum with episode number. i don't know if it is possible to use this data later.
Does you site (radiotime) have season/episode number in xml to put it into mediaportal database?

Thanks for the reply Edalex. The XMLTV data that I get locally using the grabber has this:

<episode-num system="xmltv_ns">7.3/12.</episode-num>

Which I seem to remember reading is some kind of series and episode code, I may be wrong though.
