[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1268428, member: 141969"] As I understand it, "TV Server" supports very few properties of a TV recording. In particular it supports only the following: [LIST] [*]Title [*]Description [*]Genre [*]Start time [*]End time [*]Channel [/LIST] The EPG that you use may contain additional properties such as the release date for a movie, or star rating, or age rating, and so on, but "TV Server" ignores this additional information. However... If your EPG is in the form of an xml file, it would be possible to write a tool that would scan the xml file, identify the additional properties that you want to see, and place that information in the programme decription. You would run this tool before importing the xml file into "TV Server". The above is [b]for information derived from the EPG[/b]. I think that you can alternatively download information from the internet for files located in the "Videos" section, and this information could contain the additional properties that you want. MP1 may already be able to do this, or one of the MP1 plugins may be able to do it for you. I have never bothered to do this myself, so I cannot provide any further details, but look in the Wiki and at the plugins to see what they offer. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
