#12649 closed Bug Report - General (fixed)

Program.pm from the perl bindings, Mythlink, and season specials

Reported by: mythtv@… Owned by: Karl Dietz <dekarl@…>
Priority: minor Milestone: 0.27.7
Component: Bindings - Perl Version: 0.27.5
Severity: low Keywords: Program.pm

Description

I am using mythlink with MythTV 0.27.5 on Fedora 23 x86_64 using packages from rpmfusion.

With the recent updates to mythlink, it has the ability to create output including season and episode. This is most useful if you also consume mythtv content in xbmc, plex, etc. It is a great addition.

One gap that I have noticed though is the handling of special episodes.

I usually use this format: "%T/%T - S%ssE%ep - %S" to give output like:

The X- Files/The? X- Files - S10E01 - My Struggle.mpg

In the case of special episodes, those are usually season 0, but with an episode number. This yields:

American Ninja Warrior/American? Ninja Warrior - SE03 - USA vs. the World.mpg

The issue is in the format_name function in Program.pm from the perl bindings. If the season is 0, then it doesn't print anything.

The attached patch resolves the issue for specials. If the season is 0, but the episode > 0, it will set the season to '00'
