I am using the jgomez Docker for Pluto. Everything looks great, except the original air date isn't displayed. Using Nocords, it was there. Looking at the XML, it appears to be there.
Before I start breaking things, I thought I would see if anyone has a clue.
Thanks,
Jim
Isn't displayed where, specifically?
If you look at the XML code between the two, they are almost identical (I edited the field order of nocords so that it would be the same as jgomez):

The main difference I can see is the formatting for the episode-num system="original-air-date" field. When I looked at the Guide on a client, it didn't seem to show original air date. However, if you check a recording, it certainly is available and takes it from the XML:
This got me curious, so I found something that was showing the original air date in the guide, except it was from the jgomez Plex XML (edited field order to align to above):

Here, that field isn't even being used at all! It seems to be happily taking <date> and using it for "original air date". So here's what I'm thinking:
episode-num system="original-air-date", it moves on to <date>.episode-num system="original-air-date", it is expecting a specific format. Namely YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.sssZ. If the format is incorrect, nothing is displayed.<date>.So, how do we correct this? Whose responsibility is it? Well, there are some options:
My preference is both!
It certainly looks like a format issue....
