[QUOTE="MJGraf, post: 1143596, member: 17886"] Just to add some additional Information: You can find [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/2_MEDIAPORTAL_2/9_Reference/Importing_MediaItems/MetadataExtractors/NfoMetadataExtractors/NfoSeriesMetadataExtractor']here [/URL](at the bottom of the page) a detailed explanation which nfo-file elements are imported in which MediaItemAspect attributes for series. As you can see, the <displayepisode> element IS actually imported into our MediaLibrary - but I don't know off the top of my head whether we use it at all. As to the issue with the doubled episodes, I could imagine (without having verified) that it is caused by the way the Nfo-MDE and the Series-MDE currently play together. First we collect all the information from the nfo-files. But after that, the Series-MDE kicks in and tries to get information from the internet; if it succeeds, it overwrites the values from the nfo-files. We know that this is not an ideal behavior and we have plans to introduce a "priority system" for MDEs so that you are able to define exactly, which information is taken from which source (nfo-files, online databases, etc.). If you are interested in what exactly the nfo-MDE has read from your nfo-files, please follow the instructions [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/2_MEDIAPORTAL_2/9_Reference/Importing_MediaItems/MetadataExtractors/NfoMetadataExtractors']here [/URL]under "Troubleshooting". The DebugLog file should give you quite some insight in what happened when reading your nfo-files. What you can try to circumvent your problem is (after having stopped MP2-Server) move the SeriesMetadataExtractor directory out of the plugin directory (but keep a copy so that you can restore it). Restart MP2-Server and try an import. Now MP2-Server will not lookup any online content for Series anymore so that you should only see information from your nfo-files. There is, however, a side effect. It will then also not download any fanart for your series. If you have local fanart in your series-directories, you might be fine with that - but you need to try...
