Quick question. The folks over at thetvdb.com have decided that Masterpiece shows are a violation of their duplicate rule, as most of the shows air earlier in the UK.
The issue for us here being, they air in the US under the Masterpiece series title, and of course with a different original air date if you're using MythTV and getting your data from the EPG.
Their belief is we should be naming our shows off the BBC/ITV series title (IE Downton Abby), instead of the PBS (which would be Masterpiece Classic, with an Episode title of Downton Abby). Would it be possible to setup the script to parse the series title out of the Episode name if it can't find the series information on thetvdb.com?
Or maybe it would be possible to use tvrage.com or imdb.com for information if a lookup to thetvdb.com doesn't yield results? Both of those sources still list Masterpiece as its own series.
Thanks for your great work on this outleradam.
