Sadly something didn't work outside my environment and I wasn't able to see why.But, and I completely understand this, I encountered a lot of resistance regarding functionality as well. What I was doing was a major change. It's worked really well for me but I would need someone to really go for it to identify what the problem was at their end. I suspect it has something to do with entity framework being installed properly. In the end I decided to put my head back in the shell (tortoise-like). Not brave, but most practical for me. Being able to do my own thing has other advantages. For example, I have been able to change the scanning process, which currently retrieves up to 25 items per database (TI_MDB/TMDB), to only retrieve a configurable number of items in total (for all chosen databases in the order you have set them to), overrideable at run-time. This change has massively shortened scan times while also getting rid of lots of extraneous films with tenuous matches. The difference with the server component is that I won't be having to be nearly so radical. Having said that, my code, that populates the seriesNum and episodeNum fields uses Linq and Lambda so there may need to be some configuration changes.I am happy to share but will need some feedback about what absolutely has to be kept and what I can ditch. It's easy for me if I just do my own thing but making my setup available to all will, I suspect, cause a greater level of complexity. If you do want me to share my code, then I really want to get it right and make the resulting options fully functional and unbeatable (i.e. cover the most commonly wanted recording options). This component of the MP1 system is, to me, vital and has to be bulletproof.What do you think?</blockquote>
