[QUOTE="Andrew H, post: 620754, member: 56239"] I think I've got this working using the mc2xml via Legacy Microsoft. Now I realize the folks maintaining the SD plugin were manipulating the description just a tad to add the Episode name to the beginning (followed by a colon ":") and appending "(New: mm/dd/yyyy) and others... see a typical string that MP uses when you are playing back a show: [INDENT][COLOR="RoyalBlue"]- <SimpleTag> <name>COMMENT</name> <value>Doctor Who: A former colleague accuses Langston of being part of the Dr. Jekyll murders.

I suppose I've gotten spoiled seeing the first aired, or new field in the description - it makes it easy to identify when a show is not new and when it was first shown - I delete the ones that are not new after reading the description and confirming I've already seen it!
