Can you share the path to this video in your library?
You need to work on the way seasons are displayed all in a line and the order last to first. Beside it nice and a plus I don't need to use Plex for my PlayOn recordings. It wold be nice 1st to last and up and down seaon 1, 2, 3 and so on. Just mi thoughts.
Work has begun to improve this view for larger libraries.

I just hope my wife doesn't find my XXX collection!

It turns out the episode numbers listed on zap2it under season 0 are made up. The underlying data does not have any season or episode numbers at all.
The DVR importer will need to learn to match on episode titles for these cases. I'm looking into this, as well as adding a "fix match" option to the individual episodes so they can be correctly.

Just out of curiosity and maybe this suggestion has already been made, but is there a way to have a backup provider, say pull from the TVDB or themovieDB if the show doesn't match correctly or isn't available from zap2it? Maybe even if it's only used when we do the "Fix incorrect match" option?
Just sort of thinking out loud here but I think I have a few movies and even shows that aren't going to be listed in zap2it.
Imported recordings from PlayOn do not play smooth they have small but noticeable pauses. If I play on the TV with with USB they play fine. I might have something to do with the PlayOn resolution being 720P.
I look forward to the title matching and possibility for fixing matches on episode titles. Really like where Channels is headed.
Same here I even transcoded them in mcebuddy to HDhomerun h264 and HDhomerun uncompressed with no improvement. Same file works fine vcl emby and plex. This is new and I'm sure it will get better as it develops. BTW all shows matched fine but the show 3% I can't find it on zap2it either.
Wierd, that episode only matches against SH02793762, not SH03228420 (which is being used for current airings) or SH03238003
I never understood the logic behind them assigning new TMS series ids to the same series.
What do you get for episode 52 and beyond? The issue isn't with episode 51, it's 52 and beyond.
Boruto also has the same issue after episode 100:

Those are listed as S02E01 and S02E02 under SH02793762
Nobody ever seems to agree on Season and Episode numbers.
Original Air dates are a bit better.
Episode Titles even better.
New build v9.8.2218
- NEW: Fix Incorrect Match UI will now show number of seasons/episodes for each matched show
- IMPROVED: .m2ts files are imported
- FIXED: top-level Specials directory in your tv import location will be imported in as separate shows
- FIXED: metadata for TV specials now imported correctly
- FIXED: changing show via Fix Incorrect Match was not removing old/incorrect episode information in some cases

Ah interesting, I've never tried to base stuff off of zap2it, just thetvdb and themoviedb. Good catch!
The standalone shows now seem to follow the series look. Top is from standard program on DVR from original airing. Second is imported. Third is original + imported copy. Artwork / Metadata is missing on the second screen. I posted an example below. Importing definitely works better now.
Still having problems with the Doctor Who Specials. Seems like zap2it puts them at the start of the next season with no episode number.
For example on the TVDB they are...
Air Date Order = S00E02 Christmas Invasion
DVD Order = S01E14 Christmas Invasion
Zap2It
Christmas Invasion is listed under Season 2 with no Episode Number
This is the same for all the specials that I can see for Doctor Who. I have mine using he DVD Order for Plex.
Thanks for the new build. The series I had where the fix incorrect match feature was not removing incorrect episode info is now fixed.
I am still getting the weird issue where when I use fix incorrect match to replace the US version of a show (MI-5) with the UK version (Spooks) which is shown in the fix match dialog, it still just uses the US show name and artwork even though I selected the UK show name which had the correct UK artwork.
A new issue: I decided to top up my imports for some shows by setting a season pass for them to capture some re-runs that were showing of episodes / seasons I was missing in my imported library. I was expecting the feature that won't record the same episode twice to function across both imports and recordings to kick in, but it didn't. So it's recorded duplicates of a bunch of episodes I already had imported (and had already been correctly matched at the time of the recording). I've only had this come up so far on the Spooks series mentioned above, so it could be related to US/UK show name matching issue?
Also, feature request: could we have the ability in the web UI to edit at least the show info and ideally also the episode info directly (maybe only enabled for shows with no match from the data provider)? There are a handful of shows in my library so old / obscure that they're never going to appear in the data provider's data. If I could art name, description and show artwork for those that would make the library a lot nicer to look at.
