A change in the analyze behavior took place between version 6250 and 6251 that is a step backwards (in my opinion).
In 6250 you could force analyze a specific episode of a TV show. You cannot in 6251.
Of course individual analysis is important because of 2.0 or 5.1 audio, 5.1 @ 128 or 5.1 @ 384. SD vs HD.
In 6250, click an older (something not current) TV series you have added to your My Stuff screen. It will offer you a download for episode 1 of season 1. Click cancel. Click the series again, click the season you want, then click the episode. When you click the episode, it will analyze that episode.
In 6251, when you click the series, it automatically plays episode 1 while it is analyzing, then gives you a download window for episode 1 season 1. Click cancel. The episode is still playing. Click X to close the player. Try to click the series again. It again offers a download window for episode 1 season 1 while the episode is playing. When you click X this time, you might get the kitty, you might be able click the season and episode you want, and then you are offered a download of the specific episode, but you get an error that says to contact SF because it cannot download it. Click the retry download button and it does appear to work. Sometimes after the 2nd attempt it forever analyzes and you have to cancel and close the PKOK module. The next time you open the module, you might immediately get a download window with nothing in it, or the window will pop up after a few minutes after a successful download.
And the download itself takes much longer to start.
If it's not broke, don't fix it. What tinkering was done between 6250 and 6251 that 'improved' things?
