    There have been members messaging me about the categories and what they mean so here's the explanation!

    RTHK - Radio Television Hong Kong, a Hong Kong broadcasting network
    TVB - aka. Television Broadcasts Limited, a Hong Kong broadcasting network
    ATV - aka. Asia Television Limited, a Hong Kong broadcasting network
    CN - Shows from China
    TW - Shows from Taiwan

    M - Modern dramas
    PM - Pre-Modern dramas
    A - Ancient dramas

    So for example, TVB-A will list ancient dramas from TVB.

    _________________________________

    You will also notice [C], [M], [ES] & [D]

    These stand for:

    [C] = Cantonese Audio
    [M] = Mandarin Audio
    [D] = Dual Audio (Both Cantonese and Mandarin on one video file)
    [ES] = English Subtitles


    For example, [CN-A] Nirvana in Fire - 琅琊榜 (2015) [55/55][M][ES] [10/55][C]

    [55/55][M][ES] - this means the drama is completed in Mandarin and has English subtitles for the Mandarin version

    [10/55][C] - this means there are 10 episodes out of the 55 released in Cantonese available.


    Hope that explains it!
