hi KAD79, the issue i have isn’t with displaying on screen - it is with the filter working off the db values rather than the xml values (the db values in this case not being updated with the xml values due to an existing bug). i thought i would try here first as the first instance of this being reported was also on the WD Community board by an honored contributor back in 2011 (need to find that link again as I have forgotten the name!). no worries though - i do have something working, i was just trying to be opportunistic 
hi tonyph12345, i thought i was forcing it to use tvdb by choosing that specifically from the window that comes up when you do a rescan and it cannot find anything due to the file name being non-standard (you get two manual options, to type in the title and to choose the meta source)?
