[QUOTE="sorrowuk, post: 854587, member: 105590"] Ok I'll explain what series link is. Basically it isn't something you would probably want to implement as its restricted to Sky UK and maybe others buts its implemented differently in each I think. Its just more something I would want to try and edit in. But basically I use the custom data grabber with the Sky UK EPG Plugin which is also on that page in the first link. Now this sky plugin allows it to grab all the EPG data exactly how sky do it. Its different from the standard built in grab epg method. Anyway basically for all programs in the epg sky tag a special id to it. And when you do a series link your basically recording all programs/episodes which have this tag in the epg. So a program can start at different times every week and it will still record. Anyway DJBlu (the coder) has edited the MediaPortal files to add in this series link option into the interface so you can select this option from inside mediaportal in the Guide menu. I'm not sure how it works and it's probably quite complicated to do so it doesnt really matter. I'd have to find out how he adds it in to mediaportal and then what to edit to call it from webmediaportal [/QUOTE]
