Waiting with baited breath.

Fishy spelling aside, I hope to post something tonight.

I was about to release this but I stumbled on a challenge in my test

I recording a test episode of "Bored to Death" the epg, zap2it and tv.com sub-title was "The Gowanas Canal Has Gonorrhea!" http://tvlistings.zap2it.com/tv/bored-to...1730550016

The problem is thetvdb, tvrage imdb, imdb hbo have "The Gowanus Canal Has Gonorrhea!" http://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=episode&seri...1581&lid=7

I thought zap2it was more accurate I may never be able to match (without scrapping) so I will have to mull this over.

Would the dd_progid number be helpful in those situations?

Code:

If the user stayed with the same epg provider, I would not see a problem.

Switching back and forth on epg providers may cause a problem over an extended period of time.

It's only for personal use anyway.

[mvallevand]

@Northpole that id (the zap2it id) is not going to help for feeds with an API, just for scraping.

@Bluetick, the EPG provider issue in North America isn't going to be a problem. I don't expect this solution is going to work world wide anyway.

I should never test, what do you guys suggest I do with back-to-back episodes in the EPG like this

Code:

<title lang="en">Grey's Anatomy</title>
    <sub-title lang="en">Free Falling; She's Gone</sub-title>
    <duration units="minutes">120</duration>

When numbering these should be "Grey's Anatomy S08E01 Free Falling" & "Grey's Anatomy S08E02 She's Gone" but will end up not being found

I would say to set-up some naming format imagegrablite would default to whenever it can't find a match, such as using the available npvr/epg data like the questionable episode # or air date instead of the SxxExxx value. Hopefully, these will only be a small percentage of cases. I think that would be better then just having it fail because of no match.

[mvallevand]

I am going to try something like this to see how it works

Grey's Anatomy S08E01+ Free Falling & She's Gone

As sub pointed out the zap2it episode number is not really valid, and probably not worth extracting. I did planning on adding this to imageGrab (not Lite) because it already does the heaving lifting. In Media\Show there is a showname.xml and it already has the ids for thetvdb, imdb, tv.com and zap2it making the rename process quite simple.

I would probably not allow a lot of flexibility I'd name the

tvseries.s01e01.episode title

but there would be an option to move series to their own folder

Is there interest in this?

Martin

I am obviously interested. Has there been any updates?
