Hi,
I have a hebrew translation for the XML file but I have two problems:

1. When I change the language through the plugin interface nothing happens (tried
with other languages too...)
2. The XML is in 'iso-8859-1' which doesn't include hebrew characters. Should the
header be change to 'UTF-8 (or maybe 'windows-1255' for hebrew)'?

Thanks,
Erez.

<Episode.VideoBitrate> doesn't work for my x264 re-encoded mkv shows. I want it to show the video bitrate left of the episode name (Where original airdate is by default). It gives a good idea what quality I re-encoded it in. File size in GB would be great too but seems there's no such thing?

Anyway is there anything I can do about this?
Thanks guys!


Edit:
And btw, I am renaming episodes that were aired in the wrong order to the right order. Will there be any problems with this?
Example: Futurama season 1 aired 9 episodes as season 1. Production codes say that there are 13 episodes in season 1. So I take the missing eps from season 2 and put them in season 1 and fix the names.

Will the plugin use the episode name or the episode number to get all the info?

Naming: Futurama - 1x01 - Space Pilot 3000.avi


Edit2:
And another thing.. is it possible to make line breaks? I'd like to display some video info above the episode summary. This doesn't look good on one row as you can imagine. :D

    x264 doesnt get the bitrate is true, its a limitation of mediainfo as far as i can tell and theres not much I can do about it. I suggest you request this over at their forum.

    It looks by the episode numbers, but if futureama has an alternate episode ordering in the online db you can choose to use that (I think it does). If it doesn't please fill it in. Its the same for firefly.

    You can do line breaks by entering "\n" or "\n\n" for a new paragraph.

    Hope this helps.

    Well my mediainfo shows the total bitrate (video+audio) at least. :p
    But a way to show filesize would be just as good. I'd be very happy. :D

    How can I add an alternative episode order? Anyone? Have no idea how the database works I can edit everything that's about all i know. :p

    Yeah thanks that helps.

    great stuff...love it

    awesome work, just discovered mediaportal after finishing my htpc-rig and ...damn...its exactly what i was looking for.
    your plugin just makes it perfect.
    being a sysadmin and c#-hobby-coder (well actually, since my employer discovered this...you can imagine) myself i'm sure i can contribute something and iam eager to do so.
    since you already did a great job on that one, i was wondering if there is any tool out there that would do the same with movies. i get theres this ant catalog, but that requires input initially. i wanna check a folder for subfolders or optionally files to get the string needed to do movie search, not that big of a problem.
    your plugin got the perk of a open database, so its handy to get the infos needed. but is there anything similar to that for movies? imdb or ofdb(in my german case) wont be that cooperative i guess. sure i could mask imdbs output, but im not sure how theyd feel about it ;)
    hope you guys can enlight me on that one.

    not finished yet... :D

    i just testet MP+mytvseries yesterday for some hours, now that im @work i cant check if it has an option id be looking for: renaming given files by the info in the database. all my series got the "name+S##E##" format, bout half of them got "name+ - +S##E##+ - +episodename". itd be nice to have mytvseries append the missing ones. again, i dont know if thats already implemented, might have seen something like that, but my memory wont let me know for sure right now :p .

    thatd be it for now.
    thanks in advance,
