[QUOTE="Andrew H, post: 757483, member: 56239"] [b]Making progress...[/b] UPDATE: I played around with the concepts you mentioned and came up with the attached batch file to rename Law & Order: LA in the mptvdb as well as set non-blank episodeNum to blank where I had no corresponding seriesNum. Then I run your episodescanner.exe This seems like it does what I need for now... I have it set up to run as a scheduled task at 4:15 am -- 15 minutes after my daily update of the TV-Guide at 4:00 am. Sure, if I add a show to be recorded it will have no S/E data until the next morning when this runs, but isn't it wasteful to have the run_loop.bat running [I]all[/I] the time? Or is that where the 'sleep' value = 60 (seconds) would come into play? Help me understand how often it's running/looping, and whether this would unnecessarily tie up my system. Also, I'm still a bit unclear on the backup, cleanup, and other "things" you can do based on the config.txt file. As far as the [I]version[/I] of episodescanner, the log still states: "[B]Started version #SVN 23.05.2011[/B]" so maybe you overlooked this when you last released the app on June 01, 2011 And clearly, I am [I]now[/I] able to run episodescanner successfully using "en" in my config.txt [I]as did you[/I]. This does NOT explain the "Line 178" error I was experiencing when I had it set to the [I]default[/I]: "de|en" This is really shaping up for me - :thx: [/QUOTE]
