MediaPortal has just announced that TV Episodes organization is back and ready for action. An outstanding bug that may cause recordings to be deleted was finally fixed and they were able to implement episode management back into the server. What is episode management? It is a basic feature that allows you to specify how many episodes to keep prior to deleting the oldest show.

Example scenario: let’s say you want to record "The Simpsons" which airs every weekday in the evening. You first set up an appropriate schedule (type "weekdays") and set the number of episodes to keep to "3". The first episode is recorded on Monday, the 2nd on Tuesday and the 3rd on Wednesday. This means you have 3 files on your hdd on Thursday morning. In the evening the 4th spisode airs and as you selected to keep 3 episodes, Monday’s episode will get deleted before the recording starts. On Thursday evening you still have 3 files on your disk (Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s and Thursday’s episodes).

As well, a new version of Spinsafe optimized for 1080p screens was released.
