EPG/XML parsing: reading Season and Episode data from title

[markbb1]

Maybe one the already available utilities/plugins already does it, but I couldn't find it through my searches. The closest I could find was in old UltraXMLtv's wiki page, about Series/Episode Lookup, but I'm not sure if that's what I'm looking for exactly.

I grab my epg data (for Portugal) through xmltv's tv_grab_pt, and xmltv's source for Portugal, puts the season and episode number in the programmes' title (ex. "Dexter S1 E02").

Is there any utility that can detect and cut that sort of data when available, and paste it to the proper tag, for the Enhancer to read it?

If it has never been done, it probably could. I could probably do it in PERL, but it would be ugly, and you probably don't have PERL for Windows installed. You could try alternate xmltv generators such as mc2xml (if Portugal is supported) or TVXB. TVXB has an ini file that was working as of March this year. Maybe one of those grabbers would tag season and episode data, although there is no guarantee that the data is reliable. For example, the provider for North America uses an episode number something like "EP00353633.0001". Although there is a hash for deciphering it to season and episode number, the algorithm is not included in grabbers.

My recommendation is to try other grabbers and see if the data from them is more useful to you.
