    I can figure out if there is anyway to set parental controls on series. I would like to lock out a couple of series from my kids.

    You do that on 'view' level. PIN-code protect the 'All' view, and create a view for your kids that you add the shows to they are allowed to watch. With MePo v1.2+ you can make shortcuts via buttons (such as on basicHome) that will open MP-TVSeries with a preconfigured view. This way you can add a seperate icon/button for your kids. Or you can make the 'kids' view standard, and you simply take the extra steps to switch to 'All' view and enter PIN code.

    That's how I use it myself. You can use the PIN-expiration timer to prevent kids from taking over your view when you forget to lock it again.

    fixed the episode naming above ^. There was no error in the naming of the file itself. Every time I enter TV Series, it tries to re-scan the episodes. The series appears for just a few seconds and disappears again.

When the list on the right is a list of episodes, the area in the middle contains the programme information for the episode that has the focus. In your screen shot, the list on the right is a list of folders. You could fill the area in the...

    I made some updates to the Wiki page describing the <import> and <include> tags, including adding a couple of new xml examples. For the first example, I highlighted the example text and eventually found the location in the menus where I could select the CODE macro to have the example text formatted as a code example. So far, so good...
