[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1229851, member: 82144"] Hello Please read the posts here: [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/uk-atlas-shutting-down-radio-times-feed-from-june-16-also-stopping-free-access-to-metabroadcast.134380/page-2#post-1185755"]UK: Atlas shutting down Radio Times feed from June 16 & also stopping free access to MetaBroadcast[/URL] [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/xmltv-idiots-guide-please-hoping-there-is-one.134618/page-2#post-1188410"]XMLTV Idiot's guide please....hoping there is one!![/URL] Technically no. Unfortunately TV Server's XMLTV plugin is not that smart. Facts are: [LIST] [*]TV Server's XMLTV plugin only takes the first episode-num element. [*]TV Server's XMLTV plugin doesn't support the dd_progid episode number system for reasons explained in the second link above. [/LIST] Therefore the season/episode numbers for the program that you gave as an example will [B]not [/B]be imported, as you've noticed. Potential solutions: [LIST] [*]remove all dd_progid lines; TV Server can't use them so there's no harm in getting rid of 'em [*]switch the order of the dd_progid and xmltv_ns lines [/LIST] ...which brings me to: That should have worked! (y) Therefore I suspect you may have missed something else. Make sure you: [LIST] [*]switched the order of a program that: [LIST] [*]shows in the future (the XMLTV plugin doesn't import past program details) [*]is associated with a mapped channel (ie. a guide channel which is associated with a TV Server tunable/visible-in-guide channel) [/LIST] [*]after making the change: [LIST] [*]saved and re-imported the XMLTV file [*]waited for the import to complete (can take several minutes; the more channels you have, the longer it takes) [/LIST] [/LIST] Also, [B]very important: [/B]how are you determining whether season/episode numbers are imported successfully?
