Might be worthing checking your mythmetadatalookup script to see what it is doing as I think that is where the season and episode are pulled from (along with inetref), not from EIT. It tries to match based on title / subtitle so if your EIT titles / subtitles don't match The TVDB data then this may be where your difficulties are coming from.

Also TV series that have multiple entries (like Doctor Who and Doctor Who (2005)) will often cause match failures - either from trying to match against the wrong series and therefore finding no match or else from finding multiple matches and not being able to differentiate which is the correct one.

Setting a season / episode at the recording rule level makes sure that it uses the correct grabber as can get successful hits in the wrong database (ie a hit in The Movie Database for a tv series). Setting non zero season and episode values will prevent the Movie grabber being used.

Actually, did I read somewhere a while ago that EIT doesn't have subtitle info? Or did I just make that up?
