[QUOTE="TheTramp, post: 46640, member: 19680"] First of all i would like to thank you for developing such an excellent plugin. The import seems to be working very well. although i am having problems with trying to import my episodes of doctor who. There are two problems with this series: 1. TV.com lists the episodes by season/episode number, whereas most episode guides list by story number (each story is split into a number of episodes). I imported the first few series by episode titles, but unfortunately in later later series the episodes do not have individual titles. 2. TV.com's titles are very inconsistent, using 3 different forms of episode title, e.g. "Spearhead From Space, Episode 1", "Day of the Daleks, Episode One" and "The Leisure Hive, Part One". The easiest way I can think of to solve problems like this is to provide a list of files (either by selecting a block of files and keeping them in alphabetical order, or from a text file) and then being able to import the season as a block, ignoring the filenames, and just assigning the episodes consecutively. Alternatively it might be good to have a "reverse import" feature such that rather than looking at each file and assinging an episode in the database you could give it a folder and for each episode it looks for a file with the closest name. To solve the second problem (tv.com being inconsistent) maybe a search and replace function for the tv.com results could be good. Oh, and one other feature request: It would be quite nice to be able to have the epsiode numbers displayed like 1x01 rather than 1x1, as that is what I am used to seeing. However this is a low priority request. Keep up the good work, I'd hate to see this plugin die an early death. [/QUOTE]
