[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1175635, member: 82144"] Hi gibber During the <programme/> read phase, TV Server only picks up the first <episode-num/> for each <programme/>. Any other <episode-num/> is ignored. So, in your example the dd_progid episode number would be selected and the xmltv_ns one would be ignored. During the <programme/> handling/parsing phase, TV Server only handles xmltv_ns and onscreen episode number systems. So, in your example the dd_progid episode number would also be ignored. Cumulative result: no season or episode numbers in the TV Server database. TV Server only handles xmltv_ns and onscreen because they're the only systems specified in the [URL='http://xmltv.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xmltv/xmltv/xmltv.dtd']XMLTV format standard, [/URL]and also the only systems I'm currently aware of which supply actual season and episode numbers. The dd_progid "EP00..." thing is an identifier for the private/proprietary Gracenote (formerly Tribune Media Services) database. It is not possible to extract season and/or episode numbers from it. If you want TV Server to pick up season and episode numbers from your XMLTV file, you would need to find a way to remove all the dd_progid <episode-num/> entries before handing it over to TV Server.
