First off, big props to the members of this project.  It is something to be proud of.

Just a minor point.  When you click on a show in the TV Guide in the Windows Desktop App, the popup window includes information like "Originally aired:  5/14/2020" at the bottom, in addition to all the other various information such as channel number, scheduled air time, season/episode info and description of the episode.

If I click on the same show in the TV Guide in the web app, the "Originally aired" information is not included.  Would be a nice addition since it would help create more certainty over whether a particular episode is a new one or not.

Not sure whether you would consider this a suggested improvement or a bug.

It can't really be a bug when the data isn't even in most EPG source.

Fair enough.  Still, though, if the information is in the EPG and is shown in the desktop app's TV guide, does it not make sense that the Web TV guide show it too?

I can't speak to whether the "Originally aired" date is available from most EPG sources.  But it is in the xmltv file that I create with the Zap2Xml tool.

Regardless, NextPVR is by far the best and most reliable DVR software that I have used so far (free or paid).  At this point, the UI might not be as complete in Version 5 yet as it was in Version 4 - particularly for controlling certain settings.  But that is just a matter of time.  The web app is just fabulous - especially the layout for the scrolling TV guide grid -- a very efficient use of the screen space.  So easy and efficient to review what will be on in prime time over the next week or two.

For movies, I added the year in the web app in the last build. I should probably have added the original air date at the same time. I'll try to add this for the next build (which is probably only a few days away).
