IIRC the area that's changed most is the reliability or otherwise over
several versions of G_iP of seeing episode numbers in one or other of the
'full episode name' metadata fields.  

It's worth using --info to explore which fields are set to what values for
the programmes you commonly download, to get a better feel (if setting your
own template) for which fields are likely to be of most use to you. 

Also, eyeballing the contents of the cache files will show that the values
there are not always consistent in format (I mean I think the BBC do not
always describe successive episodes of the same show in the same way).  

I also see changes in the episode-related fields for some shows as a day
passes; it kind-of looks as if in some cases a junior person sets up a
programme's entry and someone else refines it later on.  Sometimes it's just
typos being fixed, but in particular descriptive text quite often changes a
lot.

Maybe when you see black rectangles you should 'view source' (or whatever NS
calls it).  Or use Firefox (on linux).
