Patch for Finnish EIT weirdness

[dag@…]

Finnish EIT info for most channels will have an added (<age limit>) at the end of the title. Additionally this can change between different episodes. This is very bad for scheduling and I created a patch for eitfixup to remove this.

The patch also removes the disturbing Film: or Elokuva: that is used in the title of some movies and makes it really hard to find them later in the listings.

Patch for eitfixup fixing Finnish EIT

[dag@…]

Fixed patch

[dag@…]

Fxed the patch not to react to a year in parenthesis at the end of the title

[dag@…]

Still modified the regexp not even to accept (1T) nor (1S).

This is as good as we can get.

[dag@…]

FIx for too loose regexp

Sorry, wrong file uploaded disregard previous one. This is the real one

Just check out 0.30-fixes and had to reapply this patch. Could someone commit it please?

I think "Elokuva:" (or "Film:", which I did not find examples of) can help in finding films in listings by Mythtv frontend and by Kodi (which has more advanced program search). BTW Yle channels use "Kino:", "Kino Suomi:" and "Uusi Kino:" How would you distinguish movies from series and other programs without such prefixes? I think duplicate matching could be improved to be more flexible by allowing some editing of fields by user defined regular expressions before comparing them.

1. Film or Elokuva depends on your language settings as we have two official languages in Finland

2. A title is a title in my opinion and should not be messed with by the broadcaster. There is a category in the EIT (and in Mythtv) that should be used for telling if it is a series or a movie - And a lot of other things, but the broadcasters in Finland doesn't seem aware of it. There is also a unique ID in there, but that also to have been overlooked as it is empty in Finland.What we might be able to do is to force the category to Movie when we see these weird additions to the title. Feel free to expand the patch! And I might also expand it with the Kino-stuff when it starts irritating me enough ;-)

Now how do you search for upcoming films in those Finnish channels? Many series are listed as films in parenthesis in guide. Can you still see the age limit on guide, for example?
