How is the "year" scraped in tv series?? - KoTiX - 2009-10-21

Hi all, I'm writing an italian scraper for tv series and looking at all the existing tv scrapers it seems to me that there is not a RegExp that searches the year.
Even if I make a specific RegExp for it, it's not considered by xbmc, so I'd like to know how xbmc find out the year.
Tnx in advance Smile

shows and episodes do not have any 'year' attribute. shows have <premiered> and episodes have <aired>

This means that the premiered and aired date format dd/mm/yyyy need to be yyyy/mm/dd or something like that?

we should support both schemes, if not i'll fix that.

I managed to retrieve the date in the yyyy/mm/dd and now the year is displayed correctly, so it's surely an xbmc bug.
Here is my log now:

so just feed some xml with

<premiered>10.01.2006</premiered> and it fails?

i'm stupid i need it simple to reproduce Smile

Yes, it fails showing 2009 instead of 2006.

Maybe it's easyer if you try out my scraper with Italian (european??) date format dd/mm/yyy:

and then this is the same but with (US??) yyyy/mm/dd date format:
