[QUOTE="arion_p, post: 734185, member: 45945"] Sorry for the late reply, I was rather busy at work and 1.2.0 Beta needed my attention too. The problem with the episode numbers in the xmltv file you posted is that none of the supplied episode numbering systems is supported by MP. MP only supports the xmltv_ns numbering system, because it is the only one that is fully defined, universal and interpretable. See xmltv.dtd for details. Your xmltv file includes episode numbers in "dd_progid" format, a proprietary format whose definition is not publicly available and not officially a part of the xmltv standard. It also includes episode numbers in "onscreen" format which is non-interpretable. "onscreen" format cannot possibly be supported by MP because it specifies that the episode number is described by a string of unspecified format that uniquely identifies the episode. It is not possible to find out the season # and episode # within the season from the onscreen format. All of the following are valid onscreen format values: [LIST] [*]2 [*]0102 [*]#FFEE [*]EP2 [*]S2E2 [/LIST] Edit: for reference this is what you have in your xmltv file: [CODE] <programme start="20110411210000 -0400" stop="20110411220000 -0400" channel="I2.1.172715273.microsoft.com"> <title lang="en">American Experience *</title> <sub-title lang="en">The Great Famine</sub-title> <desc lang="en">Nearly 300 workers volunteer for Herbert Hoover's relief campaign for Soviet Russia's famine victims in 1921.</desc> <date>20110411</date> <category lang="en">Other</category> <category lang="en">Series</category> <icon src="http://images.windowsmedia.com/tvcards/org/4378_19.jpg" /> [B][COLOR="Red"] <episode-num system="dd_progid">EP00004188.0285</episode-num> <episode-num system="onscreen">285</episode-num> [/COLOR][/B] <video> <aspect>16:9</aspect> <quality>HDTV</quality> </video> <audio> <stereo>stereo</stereo> </audio> <new /> <subtitles type="teletext" /> <rating system="VCHIP"> <value>TV-14</value> </rating> </programme> [/CODE] [/QUOTE]
