Can we change Episode numbers and descriptions?

[tvmaster2]

I have recorded a series, which has five seasons with several episodes per season, as per normal.

The channel that aired the series (it's from a few years back, and is being repeated), aired several episodes with incorrect episode numbers and descriptions (they mixed up four or five episodes).

The station actually aired ALL the episodes, but supplied incorrect TV Guide data for a few of them, which is now burned into the recorded info displayed by SageTV.

Can we change that data somehow so that the correct episode number and description is displayed?

Is there an "app" for that?

thanks

The web UI plugin can do it. Click an episode to load its details, at the bottom click "Edit Show Info", then edit away. There is also the "Edit Metadata" link if you're running the latest version of the web UI. This gives you direct access to the raw properties, not as pretty, but lets you edit everything.

Also Complementary Metadata Tool (CMT)
Do it right from within Sage.

I second Gerry's recommendation of CMT. BMT is another option if you prefer working from your web browser and you can figure out which ep is which without having to resort to playing back the file.

You could also just change the Ep numbers in BMT and then have it redownload all of the other metadata such as the description.

great, thanks for all suggestions. 48 episodes, but for some reason there are four episodes that ran in order, but the ep. number and descriptions have been swapped between the same four, so that they are all incorrect, but at least one of them relates to one of the other three.
Luckily it won't be too much data entry.

If I install this plugin, and then uninstall it at a later date, do the original plugins, "Read, Write and Edit Metadata" and "IMDB Search" reinstall automatically? Does this make sense (just reading the CMT description)

No, I don't think there's actually any way that you could actually do that within the plugin system. If you're using those other plugins then the only reason to not use CMT instead is if you're not running SageTV 7.1, but then again, why wouldn't you be using that.
