[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 998998, member: 11220"] Yep just to confirm I have [code=xml] <programme start="20130526102000 +0100" stop="20130526112000 +0100" channel="3"> <title>Murder, She Wrote</title> <sub-title>Prediction: Murder</sub-title> <desc>Murder mystery series about a sleuthing writer. On a visit to a friend's Arizona ranch, Jessica is perturbed when the predictions of a psychic threaten to disrupt the peaceful surroundings.</desc> <credits> <director>Walter Graumann</director> <actor>Angela Lansbury</actor> <actor>Melody Anderson</actor> <actor>David Birney</actor> <actor>Michael Parks</actor> <actor>Lisa Pelikan</actor> <actor>Geoffrey Scott</actor> </credits> <date>1989</date> <category>Drama</category> <episode-num system="xmltv_ns">4.7.</episode-num>[/code] and episode details are picked up fine from the xmltv.dtd [spoiler]<!-- Episode number Not the title of the episode, its number or ID. There are several ways of numbering episodes, so the 'system' attribute lets you specify which you mean. There are two predefined numbering systems, 'xmltv_ns' and 'onscreen'. xmltv_ns: This is intended to be a general way to number episodes and parts of multi-part episodes. It is three numbers separated by dots, the first is the series or season, the second the episode number within that series, and the third the part number, if the programme is part of a two-parter. All these numbers are indexed from zero, and they can be given in the form 'X/Y' to show series X out of Y series made, or episode X out of Y episodes in this series, or part X of a Y-part episode. If any of these aren't known they can be omitted. You can put spaces whereever you like to make things easier to read. (NB 'part number' is not used when a whole programme is split in two for purely scheduling reasons; it's intended for cases where there really is a 'Part One' and 'Part Two'. The format doesn't currently have a way to represent a whole programme that happens to be split across two or more timeslots.) Some examples will make things clearer. The first episode of the second series is '1.0.0/1' . If it were a two-part episode, then the first half would be '1.0.0/2' and the second half '1.0.1/2'. If you know that an episode is from the first season, but you don't know which episode it is or whether it is part of a multiparter, you could give the episode-num as '0..'. Here the second and third numbers have been omitted. If you know that this is the first part of a three-part episode, which is the last episode of the first series of thirteen, its number would be '0 . 12/13 . 0/3'. The series number is just '0' because you don't know how many series there are in total - perhaps the show is still being made! The other predefined system, onscreen, is to simply copy what the programme makers write in the credits - 'Episode #FFEE' would translate to '#FFEE'. You are encouraged to use one of these two if possible; if xmltv_ns is not general enough for your needs, let me know. But if you want, you can use your own system and give the 'system' attribute as a URL describing the system you use. -->[/spoiler] So obviously looking at your data this is not series 2733555718 or episode 2064009902 so it is this source of data that is wrong. I am sure I have seen someone else report the same issue with EPG Grabber a long time ago but can't find it now.
