It's not on all of the programmes. It only seems to be the case where
the episode has a number and a title.
An example of where there is a problem is "Great British Railway
Journeys". The title field used to be in the format:
19: Place A to place B
Now it's just:
Place A to place B
So where you have a multi-part series it becomes a job putting the
episodes into order. There are quite a few programmes like this. I
notice that when gip seeks the programme it has the full details but
that seems to get lost when the file is downloaded!
But there are other programmes where the episode doesn't have name that
the title field merely shows:
Episode 3.
I'm nearing the end of a two month stay in the Philippines - I've been
accessing my PC back home using TeamViewer to set up recordings on my
home PC for programmes I want to download. It's too onerous trying to
amend the file names manually when I'm working on a painfully slow
internet connection here in the Philippines. So it will mean going back
over the archives to try to put episodes into order when I get home!
I'll try your suggestions when I get home, many thanks.

I've noticed that in the last few weeks where a TV episode used to have
an episode number and name in the title field, now just the name
appears.
All TV series or just some? Filename on disc or that presented by a front
end?
I use "fileprefix <senum>.<episodeshort>.<pid>" in my options file and most
of the time it works but the BBC is inconsistent in where it places
series/episode numbers.
Of the series I routinely collect Horizon is the worst. What series/season
info there is is in GIP's name field, episode info might be totally abscent.
And what info is provided doesn't match that used by thetvdb.com, the latter
is fairly consistent in it's specials/series/episode numbering.
