<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Is there anyone on this list that can offer advice on xmltv season and episode numbering and standards?</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Calibri">The Shepherd grabber (in Australia) appears to use the xmltv_ns standard</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-au"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">(</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Calibri"><A HREF="http://xml.coverpages.org/XMLTV-DTD-20021210.html">http://xml.coverpages.org/XMLTV-DTD-20021210.html</A></FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-au"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">). In particular season and episode numbering is indexed from zero (Season 3 Episode 7 is represented as “<episode-num system="xmltv_ns">2 . 6 . </episode-num>”). So how are Season 0 episodes (which are specials on The TVDB) handled (my conclusion at this time is that they are not, at least not with the xmltv_ns standard)?</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Context: I am looking to bash together a script to improve the xml data with information from The TVDB before mythfilldatabase pulls it into MythTV.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Does mythfilldatabase support different xmltv season/episode numbering standards (if alternatives exist)?</FONT></SPAN></P>
