[mythtv-users] Season/Episode: guide listing grabber vs. metadata grabber

[Angela]

In my experience the metadata grabber is often inaccurate with regards
to SE info. I see a few issues there:
 - it assumes an episode has a sutitle and that title is assumed to be
   in either English or the language set, I do not know precisely. I
   have the frontend language set to English and not to Dutch.
 - If the subtitle is in another (original) language the metadata
   grabber can not find any SE info.
 - If the Series has no episode subtitles, as often is the case in
   European series where stories span a season the metadata grabber
   can not find any SE info.
 - In all those cases listing grabber info is ignored! And I have to
   fill SE info from the listing info by hand!

 

>Yes, that is my experience as well.

 

For 20 years, I have set MythTV’s language to German and deleted the German translation file, frontend language defaults to English. I think the grabbers are working fine for me.

 

I never checked back, if MythTV has an option to set the frontend language and grabber language separately.

 

mythtv/Makefile:

install: $(addsuffix _install,$(SUBDIRS))

+       rm /usr/share/mythtv/i18n/mythfrontend_de.qm
