[QUOTE="benicehavefun, post: 1103782, member: 149859"] Geoff - A bit more info for you... Just for giggles I was taking a look at my TVSeriesDatabase4.db3 using the Database Browser for SQLite and I noticed that "The Mysteries of Laura" was the only show out of 69 in the db to have the "AirsTime" shown with periods after the p and m as in "8:00 p.m.". All other shows have the "AirsTime" in the form 8 PM or 8:00 PM. Looking at TheTVDB.com website, sure enough that's the only show out of a number I checked where their field "Airs At" had periods after p and m. Could it be that simple? I can edit TheTVDB.com data (I have an account there), but since it's crowd sourced, would it make sense to add handling for periods in addition to the trap? No doubt some other future show data will be input the same way. I totally understand. I was noticing that there is an unused field in the database called "Alias". Perhaps the TVDB name could be written there and then made available as an optional variable in the "Custom Filenames and Paths" tab in the "Recordings" section of the TVServer. Anyway, I'll see if I can find some help on that one. I probably won't be able to give it a try until tomorrow or Sunday -- I won't have direct access to my MediaPortal setup until then. Thanks again, Scott [/QUOTE]
