The runtimes should all be fine. Previous to Frodo I had no issues and I scrape all details using XBMC. Data is stored in MYSQL and has been there for over 2 years.
It appears some episodes are showing at 30 minutes in the PTV guide but when I check the library, the actual runtime is only 21 minutes or so. I have no idea how it is getting its info or how it differs from how it use to work.
The runtime value you see on the info dialog in xbmc may not be the <runtime> tag, which is what PTV uses. Try making an episode nfo for one of your episodes with a <runtime> tag with a value of something like 3 hours and then refresh it in your library and select the option to not ignore the local file. Rebuild that channel in PTV and if it takes up 3 hours in the epg then you know its a <runtime> issue. Im not sure exactly what xbmc uses when it shows runtime on the info dialog, but i know ive seen the values for <durationinseconds> and <runtime> which for some reason are different tags.
Im pretty sure, though not positive, that when you scrape from thetvdb the runtime will be whatever its listed as on that site, which could be 30 minutes even though without commercials an episode is 21 minutes. And the newer versions of PTV use the runtime stored by xbmc (which again may not be the value you see on the info dialog) before parsing the file for its runtime, i think its faster this way, im not a developer so i dont know why the change was made.
