Comment(by gigem):

 Replying to [comment:5 jppoet at gmail.com]:
 > I have attached a patch to this ticket which causes the programid to be
 fudged to include the mini-series "part".  This is necessary for some
 mini-series such as "The Last Templar", which use the same programid for
 all the episodes.  Without this patch, myth would only record the first
 episode of the series.

 While I don't see this hack as ideal, I've yet to think of any better
 solution.  I'd certainly rather have this than add part number into the
 mix everywhere duplicate checking is done.

 John, do you think you should encode the total number of parts in the
 programid as well?

 > Bruce rejected this approach a few years ago, but never came up with a
 better solution, So I am throwing out there again.

 If Bruce still doesn't like it, he can come out of hiding and restate his
 case.
