Change date format for tv episodes? - Grinsekatze - 2014-04-24

Hi there,

I'm using EMM for quite some time now and I like it!
But I started to organize my tv series with it now and came across a problem: Seems as if I can't change the date format within the tv series section. Not like the movies area the date seems to be fixed in the format YEAR-MONTH-DAY. But I need to Format it in DAY.MONTH.YEAR.

Can someone help me doing it?

Thanks but I figured out a Workaround until it is implemented in EMM.

Use Notepad++ in combination with a Regular Expression.

Just press Ctrl + h after you opened the nfo-file in Notepad++. then fill out the Dialog as follows:
Find what: ([0-9]{4})-+([0-9]{2})-+([0-9]{2})
Replace with: \3.\2.\1
Regula Exression: aktivate.

Then the <aired>-Tag is formated in a European / German way.
