Sorting broken & RSS incompatibility
- Sorting by Episode Number when editing a subscription, the sorting only looks at the first number. For example, if episodes 1-13 are listed, they would be listed like:
1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
- I'm using my own custom feeds to download from trusted / VIP users from The Pirate Bay. It's a locally generated RSS feed actually, (link to download the php file yourself: https://forum.suprbay.org/showthread.php?tid=78064&page=3).
Each search result gets listed as an article in the RSS feed. The problem seems to be that TVShows doesn't see the year of each 'article' in the RSS feed - it just assumes that all articles are from 2012. This creates problems with automatic downloading. If required I can provide (in private, to the developers) a sample feed which produces problems.

I've also noticed that something is wrong in the "only download items matching the following rules" section. With no rules, for example, my Family Guy feed shows pretty much every episode of Season 10 from E01 to E14.
As a workaround to the date bug above, I've been setting them to only download episodes that were released this year. In the Family Guy example, the first episode aired this year is Episode 10. However, when I tell it to only download if episodeNumber is greater than or equal to 10, it still lists every single episode, except for episode 1.
If I set the number to, say, 8, it will only show me episodes 8 and 9. It's like it's only looking at a single digit or something.

Hi skootles,
The sorting bug is a known issue, but it is difficult to solve since it uses some system framework. I'll try to fix it in the next version.
About the date issue... well, it looks like your feed has a problem with the pubDate field. For example, here is the feed we use for The Big Bang Theory (it even has episodes from 2009):
http://tvshowsapp.com/feed/?filter=The%20Big%20Bang%20Theory%20eztv...
I recommend you to use RSS instead of ATOM, you can look at that feed to generate one that will surely work :)
Cheers!

Looking forward to the bug fix!
And hmmm, I feel bad now. I took a closer look and it appears to be a bug with the RSS generator.
Thanks.
