This specifically is not being parsed correctly. The HDHomeRun XMLTV service also uses the same format.

We don't parse that at all. system=onscreen means it is free-form text with no standardization and is not intended to be parsed.

Okay. That's the format used by Channels and HDHomeRun, so anyone using those XMLTV files will not get season/episode information inside Emby.

I gave the same XML to SUB from NEXTPVR and he had no problem parsing it so that Season and Episode appear correctly on the recording when using that XML.

iceTV XML uses the following:

    <episode-num system="SxxExx">S05E13</episode-num>

Do you support that?

Hi, no, we're currently skipping this one, but I'll add support for this in Emby Server 4.6. Thanks.

Any chance this (the ChannelsDVR xml format) has made it into the 4.6 beta that is currently available?  Am contemplating jumping onto it and if this is included it would make it an easy choice.   

Recording live TV has made my series folders pretty messy since Emby does not know the season or episode numbers, it just puts them in the root of the show folder.

Hi @Luke - I know you mentioned that this would be in the next Beta and I see it listed in the change notes as being included, however, I am still not seeing any season or episode information in the Channels DVR XML file yet. Was this included in the last Beta? (Version 4.6.0.26)

Thanks. That is the first thing I did. Since then I have deleted the lineup and re-added it, restarted the server, refreshed the browser and it still doesn't show for me.

I also tried viewing the guide from my Android device but it doesn't show there either.

Ok yes I think there's something I missed. Please try the next build. Thanks.

Will that be .27 or later build?

I though that was being added to parse guide data from channels DVR ... The Season and Episode are not correct in recordings. Emby is creating files like this see below. See the XML from Channels DVR also below.

Supposedly this was to be included in this last Beta but wasn't and is supposed to be in the next Beta but I haven't seen a new Beta since .29. 

What he means by "not parsing" is the guide doesn't show Season 01, episode 02 using XML for the guide vs. using Emby's.

Ok, sorry, I meant when you select the program in the guide. I know it doesn't show in the guide itself.

Anyway, it doesn't give you that information when you select a program in the guide using XML for guide data. The capability is there but Emby doesn't parse it. Earlier in this thread you said it would be in the next Beta (.29) however, it wasn't included and you said it would then be in the next Beta which hasn't come out yet. I was just answering your question to the poster about what does "not parsing" mean? 

 

Here is a screen shot:

As mentioned above, this is what was added support for: 

<episode-num system="SxxExx">S05E13</episode-num>

That would likely be the wrong format as it needs to parse this: 

<episode-num system="onscreen">S5E1</episode-num>
