There's no break in the logic. mythicalLibrarian is designed to work with or without database access. Without database access there is no SH, MV or EP Identification Types, so episodes are detected by subtitles. EP Identification Types(EPIT) are handled fine without Database. Without DB access both MV and SH are handled as SH Identification Type(SHIT). A show with a subtitle is handled as an EPIT. A movie can only be handled if it is identified as a MVIT by using database entries. Since there is no way to fully identify a movie without a database year entry, MVIT is only available when the database is available.

I think you may need to rename that news show data so it has a EPIT. It should not have a MV identification type.

There is a clear difference between EPIT, MVIT and SHIT. EPIT are files which can, or should, have information in TheTVDB.com. A MVIT can or should have information in IMDB. EPIT or MVIT data should be added to TheTvDb, imdb, or similar databases, and you can add that information. A SHIT either is not a episode or contains no episode information. A SHIT will not be identified. The plan is to assign a NFO file to the SHIT once there is a clear standard on how to identify SHIT. mythicalLibrarian and XBMC will not take SHIT from any source. We've all got SHIT files in our libraries, but until XBMC supports SHIT we have to just throw away our SHIT files. I've just got to wait for XBMC to start taking SHIT and specify how it likes it before I start dishing it out.

BTW. Keep track of your modifications. I'm breaking up database access and processing. That way it can be Database=mythtv, GuideDataType=SchedulesDirect, or Database=mythtv, GuideDataType=GermanMagazine or Database=iTivio, GuideDataType=SchedulesDirect.

This seems like the cleanest way to implement it and add features without changing any working data.
