@Tim:

Thanks for pointing this issue out - I don't record either of these
shows so would not have been aware of the issue if you had not raised
it.

Please see my recent message regarding changes to the handling of
these titles which should hopefully improve things.


@nospam312:

Thanks for the details - I have tried to incorporate them into the updates


Cheers,
Nick
