Thanks for being willing to take a look at this issue.
When you say "file name" are you talking about the name of the show, or are you talking about the file created in the tvdblib_cache folder? The show that's causing me problems is "The Mysteries of Laura". As far as a tvdblib_cache folder goes, one is never created for that show, presumably because of the above referenced error. The primary issue in my mind is not that season and episode data isn't added for that show, it's that no show added after "The Mysteries of Laura" is enriched. Once I delete that show, the shows that are being skipped because of the error, are processed properly. So, if there's a way to keep the enrichment process going despite the "valid DateTime" problem that would be great. If you can figure out why this one particular show is erroring out that would be a bonus!
You're right that MP-TVSeries allows you to match shows that don't have the correct TVDB name manually -- so do Plex and XBMC. I guess my point is that it would be nice to not have to do that, particularly for people that use more than one "media center" and more than one computer. I'm avoiding that by manually renaming my recordings, Comskip files and parent folders once the recording is complete. It's easier than going to multiple computers to fix the scraping mis-matches. I'm just hoping to find a way, since the SD EPG to TVDB mapping data is being provided to your plugin, to have MP use that same TVDB name when recording folders and filenames are created. I wonder if another variable name could be created in the "Custom Paths and Filenames" tab of the "Recording" section of the TV Server Configuration. So instead of choosing %title%, one could choose %tvdb-title% (for example)? I know your interests are off in other directions, I'm just curious if you think something like that would be difficult to implement through the plugin?
Let me know if there's any other data that would be helpful...
Best,
Scott

OK, I can probably fix the error if you can help narrow down the file name that is causing the error:
When you say "file name" are you talking about the name of the show, or are you talking about the file created in the tvdblib_cache folder?

However, I don't think I can help with the MP-TVSeries import problems... I don't recall having those types of problems at all... once I match the series the first time, it remembers the "The Bridge" is the one I want, not the old one.
