Can we have some details?<br>
<br>
Where does the data end up in the "good" case?<br>
Where does the data end up in the "bad" case?<br>
<br>
We (MythTV and XMLTV) have no concept of series/season regulars vs.<br>
guest stars vs. uncredited extras / cameo (etc).<br>
Does the data end up in the "guest" role? I understood that as guests<br>
in talk shows etc.<br>
<br>
If it is like that, then we can fix it either way, once we agree on a<br>
preferred way :-)<br>
<br>
