[QUOTE="rsbrux, post: 1283185, member: 49539"] Thanks for the detailed instructions, which worked as you predicted. The exercise revealed only 5 recording on 3 channels whose names had changed, so there is evidently some other mechanism than simple text matching at work in mapping the channel logos. MP has a hard time distinguishing between series and single movies, sometimes treating movies as series episodes and vice versa. This is probably due to missing or inaccurate information in my cable provider's program guide. The "SERIESNUM" and "EPISODE*" tags are always empty in my XML fields, even for the recordings that MP has filed away as series episodes. Naturally this makes me wonder how MP decides that they are series episodes ;.) IAC, I am just eliminating the different treatment between "Movies" and "Series" on the "[URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/Recording#Recording-Custompathsandfilenames']Custom paths and filenames[/URL]" tab. I also took the opportunity to regenerate the recording thumbs. It makes little sense that the default "[URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/Recording#Recording-TVThumbs']Time Offset[/URL]" for extracting recording thumbs is zero when the default "[URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/Recording#Recording-Pre-andpostrecording']Start recording[/URL]" time is 7 minutes before the scheduled program starts.
