[mythtv-users] Python Bindings and mythvidexport

[Doug Vaughan]

Dave,
    This issue is entirely with matching your input with what is in the 
source TTVDB. In all cases the source TTVDB is king. The link you 
referenced has the episode name defined as 'Faith, Hope & Trick' while 
the episode name in TVDB is 'Faith, Hope and Trick'. You simply will not 
get a match.
   
See below:
 > ./ttvdb -N 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' 'Faith, Hope & Trick'
== Nothing is returned ==

 > ./ttvdb -N 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' 'Faith, Hope and Trick'
S03E03

As Raymond mentioned earlier there is not fuzzy matching logic in 
ttvdb.py or the ttvdb_api library it uses. This is one reason MythVideo 
and other scripts lean more on season and episode number than episode text.

Unless someone supplies a patch this is not going to change soon.
