It always used to work for me too... seems that this entire episode of
bizarre behavior started as a regression from an update I did at some
point in the last year... I just never had time to look into it until
now.

Some episode numbers of my original format worked fine for me too.
But other episode numbers wouldn't - and it appeared that what
happened on those is that it identified the show properly, got an ID
number from one metadata service, and then, for whatever reason, did
the metadata download from another metadata service, where it grabbed
info about a completely different show because they use a different ID
numbering system.

Assuming it doesn't confuse itself again today, I'll probably quit
bugging everyone about it now.

But there is definitely a subtle bug causing unexpected behavior in
there somewhere.  And I have yet to track down the exact trigger for
it going wrong.

Thanks,

Dan
