You are certainly keen, happy to help but I will try and keep my replies a bit snappier 
Asking for help
Running into errors is to be expected. When you do you should obviously try do a little work yourself, double check you have read things correctly, maybe have a little search on the forum. But if you are stuck, you are stuck and it's better to just stop and ask the forum for help to get you unstuck. Then you carry on, and if you get stuck at another point, ask for help again. Chances are it's gonna be easier to spot and fix the problem knowing the steps you have taken etc
Errors saving the interaction model
The saving Skill issue tricky, I know what you mean, there are times when you end up in a loop fixing the same things they tell you again and again. It is usually easier to cut your losses and refresh the browser and start again. If still get problems, just create a new Skill, it's gonna be quicker knowing this time to add the Slots first.
Amount of shows
Just to check, we are talking about 1400 full shows like Friends, Judge Judy or Wheel of Fortune each consisting of multiple seasons of multiple episodes?
That really is a lot of Shows. Though admittedly I do like to keep my Kodi clutter free, especially with tv shows, once the season is done I remove it from the library and delete the files. But even if I kept all the shows from the past few years, that (according to trakt) would still only be 134 shows.
I have to ask, how often do you watch stuff from the archive? It certainly is impressive, how much HDD space is that and I am picturing multiple floor to ceiling server racks. I used to archive everything on to DVD. Big ringbinder folders double stuffed with discs, filling up my shelves and never being watched. Once Netflix etc came along I chucked them all and never burned a DVD again.... well, maybe not never
A library that large might be too large due to the way the Skill and Kodi work. But you say you have it working, so that's good. Nothing to worry about then
Selecting episodes by title
No, you have to use numbers when talking about episodes and seasons. It is quicker and easier to use numbers, but I guess if the demand is great enough it might be added at some point.
resume episode
Resume is currently associated with resuming paused playback, and I think there are features in upcoming 2.5 that might also conflict with it.
But it is not an intent I use, so give it a try and see what happens
Asking for help
Quote:I always start with the readme as I figure it is usually the most updated. But very quickly stuff did not work and i ran into every error I did, and frankly at that time, had I just stuck to the readme, because of the errors I was getting, I would have given up

Quote:Also, I have not played with it but can you say something like watch "The Contest" episode of "Seinfeld" or Play episode "Daybreak" of "Battlestar Galactica" or can it only do numbers for episodes? Is that something you could add?
