#11715 closed Bug Report - General (fixed)
Incorrect interpretation of "New" as show title in UK Freeview EIT for Channel 5 group

Description
Using off-the air EPG in the UK, the backend picks up lots of showings of a show it thinks is called "New".
However, it seems Channel 5 is labelling various different shows with a "New" prefix to flag new episodes. E.g. the show is called "The Gadget Show", but Channel 5 list it as (I guess) "New: The Gadget Show", and Myth interprets that as a show called "New" with episode title "The Gadget Show".
I appreciate that it's likely that Channel 5 are at fault, but it would be great if Myth could fix up the data.
Note that this affects Channel 5, Channel 5+1, and 5* (and I suppose is likely to affect 5 USA, although I see no examples just now).

Hi,
How has been this fixed from the FE's point of view?
Quite many spanish TV channels use to prefix titles with one certain string which could be "CINE: ", "EL PELICULÓN: ", and so on. Plus, title could be surrounded by (single/double) quotes, as in "CINE: 'The Hulk'".
IMHO, ideally, it would be nice to have some user-defined, prefix-stripping option which could be independently applied either to program search/recording functions or to EPG display (or both simultaneously).
Just some thoughts.
Kind regards, Antonio

Antonio, please open a new ticket for spanish TV. We can create a fixup for spanish TV if you can provide
- samples of the actual EIT data transmitted (output of "dvbsnoop -n 1 0x12" while tuned to the relevant channels, pick some examples of all variants - here is a sample of the data I need https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=898 )
- a list of original_network / transports / services that these should be applied to (see https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/mythtv/libs/libmythtv/eithelper.cpp#L1058 )
Making the EIT fixups configurable and fast is not so easy.
Hi Stuart!
I am assigning it to you since you addressed one of those recently and can, hopefully, replicate the problem on your side.
If it turns out I am mistaken, please feel free to unassign yourself.
Thank you!
Nicolas
