    Previously it seemed that the bug is solved by fixing the skin, as described here:
    https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/not_possible_set_recordings_any_tv_series-t24786.html
    But this was only a part of the problem. Indeed there was a problem with the skin that did not show episodes at all. But the main problem is still there.

    Description:
    When pressing any episode on the EPG, MP identifies only re-runs of the same episode as belonging to the series. Other episodes are not identified as belonging to the series.

    Using svn--07-21-2007--00-59-Rev15280
    (Using TVengine 0.2)

    Workflow:
    1. Go to EPG in MP.
    2. Navigate to an episode of some series (which is not currently playing).
    3. Press Enter. The program info screen is shown, but the list of episodes shows only re-runs of the same spisode.

    Pictures are attached as an example.
    In picture 1, I selected episode 4282 of a show. MP shows only episode 4282 and its re-run.
    In picture 2, I selected episode 4283 of the same show, which is on the next day. MP shows only episode 4283 and its re-run.

    Remark:
    This is Hebrew, a right-to-left language. So you might think the episode number is at the begining of the name, but it is not. It is at the end of the name, as it should be. If MP follows the standard, this means the number is truely at the end of the string, and it is only displayed from right to left.

    So... if to judge from the responses I get here, I guess I will just have to face the bitter truth:

    Media Portal does not know how to record TV series.

    (Unless I am going to migrate to another country, use WebEPG which will have the programs for my new country, change my language and heaven knows what else).
