ImageGrabLite and The First 48: Killer Confessions

[BrettB]

I just noticed that the nightly ImageGrabLite run after the EPG update is failing. It looks like the problem is that it is getting confused by the show called The First 48: Killer Confessions. Notice the line:

Code:

Changing The First 48: Killer Confessions to The First 48

in the attached log file.

I've also deleted the SearchLite/Series and the Media/Shows .xml files for both The First 48: Killer Confessions and The First 48: Deadly Sexual Encounters. The files included in the attached .zip file are the ones that just got downloaded.

Upon further investigation, it appears that A&E is producing "updated" episodes that originally aired as the series "The First 48" with series names of "The First 48: Killer Confessions" and "The First 48: Deadly Sexual Encounters". And these new series names are not yet in TheTVDB.com, so ImageGrabLite is finding the original series "The First 48" instead. Argh!

Let me know if this helps. Yes those are quite messed up. It even changes the unique_id for shows that are the same. Another gotcha is they have repaired old episodes, so they don't match correctly as old episodes.

This version keeps going past these shows and finishes up. So that satisfies my problem. It is still matching up to "The First 48" since the others aren't (yet?) on TheTVDB. At some point if/when they get added, I'm guessing that I'd need to remove the .xml files already downloaded. But I'm not really worried about that.

Thanks, Martin!
