[QUOTE="RonD, post: 1046748, member: 117536"] gwatkins, glad you were able to get your recordings set up the way you wanted. My previous post was an attempt to explain the options using mc2xml/xmltv. I actually use the -b option so I could continue using my existing scheduled recordings. A few shows like local TV news always show up a "old" so I needed to tweak a few recordings. Another attempt to outline USA specific steps to flag old/new episodes. This assumes you want use mc2xml for EPG data. 1. use the "XMLTV mc2xml" setup guide for initial setup. see the following link for help [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Setup_Guides/2_TV_Setup/4_TV_Guide_Setup_%28EPG%29/XMLTV_mc2xml']http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Setup_Guides/2_TV_Setup/4_TV_Guide_Setup_(EPG)/XMLTV_mc2xml[/URL] 2A. To mark all "new episodes" with a "*" use the following for mc2xml mc2xml.exe -a -o tvguide.xml with this option the show titles will be either of the following and you can select if you record old or new episodes How I Met Your Mother * (New Episodes) How I Met Your Mother (Old Episodes) 2B. To mark all "old episodes" with a "*" use the following for mc2xml mc2xml.exe -b -o tvguide.xml with this option the show titles will be either How I Met Your Mother * (Old Episodes) How I Met Your Mother (New Episodes) MePo "Recorded TV" will show the actual Title used for the recording with or without the "*". The TV Series plugin ignores the "*" and all "old" or "new" episodes will be grouped together. [/QUOTE]
