Live TV Guide not grabbing episode number - 306bobby - 2023-11-12

Hello all

I am having an issue where I am unable to properly record a series to my DVR due to jellyfin not grabbing season/episode number data from the guidexml file. Therefore, the DVR is unable to determine whether an episode is new or not, and instead records all of them. Details of my setup:

Guide data: using WebGrab++ to scrape guide data and create xml file
Jellyfin: 10.8.12 on Raspbian Bullseye 32bit
IPTV service: free IPTV list from github


Here is an example of a series listing from the xml file:
Code:
<programme start="20231111043000 +0000" stop="20231111050000 +0000" channel="TOON">
    <title lang="en">Rick and Morty</title>
    <sub-title lang="en">That's Amorte. That's Amorte</sub-title>
    <desc lang="en">Morty uncovers the truth about a spaghetti recipe, leading to a horrifying discovery and the collapse of a society.(n)</desc>
    <credits>
      <actor role="Morty/Rick - Voice">Justin Roiland</actor>
      <actor role="Beth - Voice">Sarah Chalke</actor>
      <actor role="Summer - Voice">Spencer Grammer</actor>
    </credits>
    <date>2023</date>

    <icon src="https://tvtv.us/gn/pi/assets/p10376284_b_v12_aa.jpg" />
    <episode-num system="onscreen">S7 E4</episode-num>
    <rating system="US">
      <value>TV14</value>
    </rating>
  </programme>

Here is the error from jellyfin:
Code:
[2023-11-10 03:01:03.812 -05:00] [ERR] Episode nullxnull not found for series "275274":"Rick and Morty"


Here is an example of shows being recorded multiple times:
   

Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

Bump as I still can't figure this out for the life of me

Looking at the code, I'm not sure that episode number format in your example was test, so its possible it isn't supported? I'm not an expert on this. Does it ever record?
