I was hoping someone with more skinning experience may be able to help shed some light.

The stripwords item is telling it to strip the appended episode count, otherwise when you have it configured to group the shows it would search for "NCIS (9)" rather than "NCIS". I edited the xml directly once I tested and found it did what I had hoped. As long as I don't go over 99 episodes of one show, the artwork lookup should use the correct show title. The ® is for re-runs (because I have the option set in server wmc to append ® to re-runs), however the actual episode artwork is hit or miss, I haven't played with it enough, and haven't figured out how to get it consistent.

For the second point, if serverwmc is passing all dates to Kodi pvr-plugin, then it'd be a great addition to send original air dates instead of recording dates, again based on a setting selection. This way we'll be able to sort the recordings based on original air date, without needing any additional changes from Kodi. In such cases, we can then have the recording date added somewhere in file-name, or description.
Thanks for the response!
