Episode numbers missing

[Alan Milewczyk]

It's not on all of the programmes. It only seems to be the case where 
the episode has a number and a title.

An example of where there is a problem is "Great British Railway 
Journeys". The title field used to be in the format:
19: Place A to place B
Now it's just:
Place A to place B

So where you have a multi-part series it becomes a job putting the 
episodes into order. There are quite a few programmes like this. I 
notice that when gip seeks the programme it has the full details but 
that seems to get lost when the file is downloaded!

But there are other programmes where the episode doesn't have name that 
the title field merely shows:
Episode 3.

I'm nearing the end of a two month stay in the Philippines - I've been 
accessing my PC back home using TeamViewer to set up recordings on my 
home PC for programmes I want to download. It's too onerous trying to 
amend the file names manually when I'm working on a painfully slow 
internet connection here in the Philippines. So it will mean going back 
over the archives to try to put episodes into order when I get home!

I'll try your suggestions when I get home, many thanks.

Alan
