SVN: 8306 - Channel icon import fails with ampersands in iconmap.xml

[steve.adeff@…]

the command 'mythfilldatabase --import-icon-map iconmap.xml --update-icon-map'

fails when a channel has an ampersand ('&') in its definition. I tried placing an escape slash in front of it with no luck either.

for instance my iconmap.xml had:

<networktourl>

<network>dni_SKF</network> <url>[dni_zap2it]/starz_kids&family.jpg</url>

</networktourl>

which once I deleted the url caused it to load properly.

[pstehlik@…]

That is broken XML. If you need "&" in XML it has to be encoded as "&amp;"

[adeffs@…]

Patch that will replace ampersand with correct sequence in xml creation

[adeffs@…]

my first patch, so don't ream me =)

this will check to see if an & exists in the URL and if so replace it with &amp;

if no & exists it won't do anything.
