[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1177280, member: 109222"] Hi. This is one of the main goals of E2T as most EPG sources did not have proper (or any) episodes numbering... As example here is an entry from the output of WebGrab++: [CODE=XML] <programme start="20160304013000 +0100" stop="20160304030000 +0100" channel="DE ZDF HD"> <title lang="de">Camilla Läckberg: Mord in Fjällbacka</title> <sub-title lang="de">Die Kunst des Todes</sub-title> <desc lang="de">Erica und ihr Mann Patrik erhalten Besuch von Ericas jüngerer Schwester Anna. Beide ermitteln, als Anna ihre Freundin Linda Hamrin tot in ihrem Auto auffindet.</desc> <date>2013</date> <category lang="de">Thriller</category> <category lang="de">Krimi</category> <category lang="de">TV-Serien</category> <icon src="http://static.timefor.tv/imgs/print_img.php?sti=imgs/epg/channel/2016-03-03/527780b2c2aa6.jpg&height=230&width=300" /> </programme> [/CODE] There is no episodes numbering and not even the name of the series is correct (had to be "The Fjällbacka Murders" or in German "Mord in Fjällbacka", original title is "Fjallbackamorden" as it is a Swedish series). That's why I had to add this series manually to the Episodes2TVGuide.ID.xml... And that is, what E2T is making out of it: [CODE=XML] <programme start="20160304013000 +0100" stop="20160304030000 +0100" channel="DE ZDF HD"> <title lang="de">Camilla Läckberg: Mord in Fjällbacka</title> <sub-title lang="de">Die Kunst des Todes</sub-title> <desc lang="de">Erica und ihr Mann Patrik erhalten Besuch von Ericas jüngerer Schwester Anna. Sie ist gerade als Maklerin unterwegs und will das Elternhaus von Hasse Wennerman und seiner Schwester Anita an den Mann bringen. Die beiden verkaufen zudem alte Möbel und Kunstobjekte ihrer Eltern und bitten deshalb die Kunstexpertin Britta Bergmark, den Wert eines alten Gemäldes zu bestimmen. Britta bezeichnet das Bild allerdings als wertlos. Anna findet unterdessen ihre Freundin Linda Hamrin bewusstlos hinter dem Lenkrad ihres Autos.

This is something MP did not understand also it is xmltv compliant too. That's why it is not displayed in EPG. The only properly recognized format for episodes numbering is: (NS stands for "Numbering System"). That's why E2T is using this numbering scheme. To be honest, I never have seen a xmltv file with dd_progid before... The numbers from xmltv_ns are zero based so 3.16 is for Season 4 Episode 17 (Midas Mork) and that is how it will be displayed in MP's EPG "Mork & Mindy (4.17 - Midas Mork)" and used for naming of recurring recordings. And this also is used to grab metadata from TVDB... If you want to replace the descriptions (plot) of the episodes with the descriptions from TVDB too, you must set the corresponding option in Episodes2TVGuide.xml from "false" to "true".... This is useful if your EPG source did not deliver good quality of description data. Here in Germany the description often is one sentence only, but on TVDB there is lot more to find. That's why I have the option TVDB_OverwritePlot set to "true"... [/QUOTE]
