i'm importing some stuff from DVD, where the ordering is different from the aired version, and no matter what i try i cannot get it to import correctly.
specifically, south park, season 1. episodes 2 and 3 are switched around on the DVD order, compared to aired.
aired looks like :
2) weight gain 4000
3) volcano
DVD is:
2) volcano
3) weight gain 4000
this is how my DVD is ordered, and this is also how it is shown on thetvdb.com
however it is not possible to get these episodes, ripped from DVD, to import correctly, with any choice from the importer.
the problem begins, i think, with the fact that if i choose "DVD" from the importer menu, and click "match", the online episode list does not get re-ordered accordingly. they ARE matched up differently with my local files, but no matter what choice i make on the menu, the order of the episodes remains the same - the "aired" order.
if i choose "aired" from the menu, and click "match" the importer matches the episodes up like this :
local file 1x02 - volcano : online 1x02 weight gain 4000
local file 1x03 - weight gain 4000 : online 1x03 volcano
so bizarrely, the episodes play in the correct DVD order and NOT in the aired order. also, they are matched up incorrectly with the online episodes, so they are named incorrectly, and contain the wrong information, thumbnail, etc.
if i choose "DVD" from the menu, the order of the episodes does not change, but this time they get matched up like this :
local file 1x02 - volcano : online 1x03 volcano
local file 1x03 - weight gain 4000 : online 1x02 weight gain 4000
so now, the episodes are matched up correctly, with the correct names etc, but they play in the wrong order. and this is annoying! especially with the south park dvds because each episode begins with an interview with the creators, which starts with them talking about what happened in the previous episode.
so the problem is, neither of these import options is working as it should here. choosing "aired" is in fact giving me the DVD ordering, but the episodes are not matched up correctly. choosing "DVD" is matching correctly, but i'm getting the aired ordering.
further, because the online episode ordering does not change when i choose "DVD" from the menu, i cannot manually import them correctly either, because the online ordering still remains "aired", i.e. wrong.
forgot to say, i'm using v2.6.1.1200 on MP 1.1.0.0 on Win 7
