My XML TV imports are not setting the originalAirDate in the programs table. Here a sample of the xml that's being imported seemingly correctly except for this. I've attached logs etc.

AFAIK, this never worked (as it has never been implemented). Also IIRC this field is not visible anywhere in MP UI, so even if it were imported it would be useless.

Thank you for the reply. It's too bad. I'm in the US and getting series and episode information for the tv series plugin is a challenge. Since the TV series plugin can also use the original air date and MC2XML can provide this information, getting it into this field seems like it would be useful.
