"Description" field is generic for show, not the specific episode

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The metadata placed in the Video > Description field describes the overall 
show, as opposed to the 
specific episode.  In this instance, either:

1) The specific episode synopsis should be written in to the field.
2) If specific episode information is unavailable, the field should be left 
blank.

"Breakfast" (http://code.google.com/p/videoengine/) seemed to handle this OK, I 
think retrieving 
the information from thetvdb.com.

This is certainly confusing but it is actually correct, the 'Long Description' 
tag is the series summary the episode 
description is being set in the short description field which is what is used 
by apple tv for the episode info it is 
also what itunes uses if you right click and select 'Show description'.

I guess there could be some discussion about the appropriate way to use these 
tags but this particular 
configuration was chosen to work best with apple TVs.

Perhaps it is something that could be added as an option later on

The long description and summary fields both carry episode specific information 
now in RC4 since their is no 
equivalent to an episode summary in the thetvdb.com data. This is more 
consistent with how iTunes uses the 
tags.
