In short:

All news show episodes of “Het Journaal” show “10/31/53” as episode number. After checking wikipedia, I found this: " The first edition of Het Journaal was broadcast on 31 October 1953". So I guess that’s why…

The show airs at 13h and 19h and 23h CET. I can limit the recordings so it only takes the 19h one so that’s ok. But it does not record new episodes as it always detects the episode is already there and it’s HD so it won’t replace it…

So 2 things are wrong with the parsing here:

  • The show shows as “Het” instead of “Het Journaal”. But that’s a minor thing
  • The episode numbers are off. It would work if it would show the date but then it has to show the correct date

I haven’t found a good xmltv source either so I’m a bit stuck on this one.

It’s really the show number that is wrong. Does anyone know where plex gets this info from and if there is something I can do to help in the parsing of this?

This seems to be fixed for the show I was watching. Thanks to whoever did that :smiley:
