[QUOTE="Andrew H, post: 619693, member: 56239"] [b]Re: Schedules Direct US/Canadian/Mexico EPG Plugin (Updated April 2010)[/b] Here's a copy of a typical file I see. The Episode Name is there in the description before the colon if it were stripped. But then again, don't know whether it is in another field the plug-in isn't making available to us MP users. I wonder how the xmltv grabbers are doing in comparison - I liked how simple this was but... UPDATE: I was able to locate the identical show recorded on separate HTPCs last week - one is MP 1.1.0.0 RC2 (before last week's update) and the other is what was being generated under MP 1.0.2 for so many years. I think the SD folks are supplying a good many fields and when the filenaming was broken under MP 1.0.2 it was fine to just have the program guide! All of this is not so significant to me because MP keeps my recorded TV programs in a database so I never really need to know where they're stored or the exact filename, but I could see how those using plug-ins (like TV-Series and those that do much more) might need additional fields to properly characterize each file by series, season, episode name/number, etc. [/QUOTE]
