When I want to process Desperate Housewifes (73800), I'll get the following error:

Fixed in next release...  Desparate Housewives has more than 99 "episodes" in Season 0.

The tool is somehow remembering the last set of banners.  If you close it down and open again it only loads the banners in for the new episodes you searched

Forgot to say great tool this will save me hours of work, thank you Tony

I think this is also fixed in the next release; I wasn't able to reproduce the issue, but I think I know why it could occur;   the memory wasn't being properly cleared when going from one series to the next.

In the meantime, all, just close the program and restart it between different TV shows.

great app thonyph easy and simple! but is it normal that the genre is on 3 lines because only 1 make it on screen and it's not possible to edit in the app it's grey

it's the same way with official xml with themoviedb

But only the first is used

But my secret hope is the exploitation of the lid parameter for non english metadata (I think you're interested too )

the WD live hub is not very grateful for non english people for the moment

You're right, but I think this is a bug in the Hub.

If I put everything in ONE TAG, then the SORT / FILTER by GENRE view will NOT WORK if there's multiple genres in one tag.

I'm going to leave it like it is right now, and hopefully WD will address this in a future firmware.

By the way, this brings up a separate issue...  the DIRECTOR tag should be formatted the same way, but I had previously been doing them as a SINGLE tag.  But I'm going to have to change that to do MULTIPLE tags, just like GENRE, which, until WD fixes this same issue, the Hub will only show a single director.

That'll be changed in the next release, too.

Language support:    I know I'm slighting non-English speakers, but for now it's the best I can do.

The TVDB does have support for additional languages, and I do plan on adding support for it.

But right now, I'm really writing this for myself, and I'm sharing it for those that want it.  

I'll give the same party line as the host of this forum:   "I'm looking into it, but I can't promise when, or if, it will be implemented. "

happily, I prefer Original version for tv show So not difficulty to wait for a moment

My wife a little bit less

I have loads of Russian TV shows, Music and films (my Wife is Russian), that I'd like to have metadata for, but think it's going to be a long haul manually creating them, ho hum.

1.0.2.11 has been uploaded;  check the top post for details.

Wow.  Over 500 downloads.  

Release 1.0.2.11 1/29/2011
  -- Corrected Abnormal Termination if user selects a Show ID that has XML but no valid episodes inside it.
  -- Corrected several issues where data from previous series remained in memory when user selected a new series
  -- Removed spurious "|" symbols flanking the Genre and Director fields.
  -- Fixed "Array out of bounds" error for series with more than 99 "episodes" in a season.
  -- Added an option to include the EPISODE name in the OVERVIEW text, since hub is presently IGNORING
     the TITLE tag.   This option is ENABLED by DEFAULT, but when this bug on the hub is fixed, I'll 
     change the default to DISABLED.
  -- Now the ORDER of BACKDROP presentation varies with the episode number.  That way, as you scroll through the 
     episodes on the Hub, the different episodes' backdrops will initialize with a different backdrop.
     Example:   Episode 1 will show backdrops 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ... 20 in that order.
                Episode 5 will show backdrops 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 .. 20, then 1, 2, 3.. and so on.
  -- Substantial performance improvement when saving SEASON or SERIES at a time by not continually updating the
     displayed image until the save is completed.
