[QUOTE="Leviathon, post: 254426, member: 72232"] DVDFreak, I've tried a few things at this point and nothing has changed. Perhaps I have misunderstood the purpose of the "Skip Repeats" checkbox. I'll get to that in a second. First, I've tried exactly what you suggested. I've dropped my XML file into the XMLTV folder and let TV Scheduler import the data. Same results: no shows are checked as "Repeats." Second, I've tried I-XMLTV which grabs data from Schedules Direct and inserts additional information. There is another tool that does even more called [url=http://UltraXMLTV]ISPCP - Virtual Hosting Control System[/url] but before I try using it, I want to make sure I understand how TV Scheduler is working. In post [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/223055-post557.html"]557[/URL] of this thread you mention that Does this mean that TV Scheduler isn't really looking at the XML file to see if a show is a repeat and instead looking at the TV Scheduler history to determine repeats? If, in fact, TV Scheduler is looking at the XML to determine repeats, can you tell me what flags it is looking for? Here is a snippet of my XML file for Cash Cab for example.
