[mythtv-users] How do you handle double episode metadata in mythvideo?

TIA,
     The meta data is a reflection of how the source (TVDB in this case) 
structures their meta data. Almost all back to back episodes are 
represented as two separate episodes so you have limited options.
1) With a video editor split your recording into two videos and name the 
video files appropriately.
2) Rename the video file as if it was only the first episode e.g. 
"Touching Evil.S01E01.Pilot.720p.mkv". After you have scanned it into 
MythVideo and updated the meta data for episode 1, manually edit the 
episode data to note that it is really episode 1 and 2.
3) Scan the current file MythVideo and edit the meta data season and 
episode to 1 (one), update the metadata then edit the meta data title 
and/or description to reflect two episodes. The only advantage of this 
option is that you video file name remains accurate to its content.

Not much else you can do.
