[QUOTE="Christoph21x, post: 1112771, member: 88026"] In the meantime I extended & adjusted the TVSpielfilm file accordingly. Please read: * @Revision 5 - [30/11/2014] Christoph21x * THIS REVISION IS DUE TO USER REQUEST AND AN ALPHA and ONLY PARTLY TESTED * PLEASE SEE ESPECIALLY README's CONSTRAINTS and RECOMMENDATIONS * switch-over to xmltv_ns for episodesystem/episode_num * altered reading of season/episode scrubbing acc. to divers site layouts * text "(Staffel #s, Folge #e)" is added to description * format: "#S.#E.#P" (S = season, E = episode, P = part) - no leading zeros * numbers zero-based * multi-episodes not supported * part number (of a broadcast) not supported Dear All All of a sudden, TVToday.ini is not working anymore as per 2014-12-02 00:00h This is valid for MOST of the channels - but not all.
