[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 949723, member: 18896"] That is because there is only one episode reference at TheTVdB. It gets linked twice via the local media file info table, but it is still only a single episode reference for the metadata table. When you delete an episode from database, you are thereby removing the summary/etc metadata for every episode linked. What you want to do is to use the "Delete From Disk" option. This then only removes the entry in the local media table that you want to remove and the episode metadata is retained for any other episode still using it. So this is not a bug, but expected behaviour. If you by mistake did a "Delete From Disk+Database" on one file and it therefore made the other filename that used the same info 'dissapear', then simply run a new import. The same series IDs should be used, so it will re-link the episode, but it can sometimes fail. Then you need to run manual SQL commands to clean up the database. You can search the forum for help on that, however MP-TVSeries has been improved to deal with this setup, so more then likely you will not have an issue with just running a new import and check for hidden entries.
