Thanks for today's script... my agent said it was in the mail. > Your point is that the title for the movie and series both matched > even though there is a seriesid.

Is it not possible for the scheduler to make use of the _type_ of the show? From the information Allan gave, one is a Series, the other a Movie, irrespective of the seriesid. I know this information is clearly grabber specific, but if the scheduler picks up a possible hit, is it not worth at least checking to see whether the types match (if present)? Using the uk_rt XMLTV grabber, all of my program entries have a seriesid, even movies. This is where category="film" and category_type="movie". The programid is the seriesid prepended with "MV", and only movies have a programid. The showtype field is unused for all program entries. After the fun of setting up MythTV, I think anyone would take a Type I error over a Type II error any day of the week! The scheduler seems to cope very admirably as it is, so thanks for the hard work.
