Duplicate Sub-title fields

[gEd]

Hi Alan

Any idea why I am seeing duplicate sub-title fields in my RT XML file?
I am not using any post_processing (such as I used to use to add episode ot sub-title)

Code: Select all

<programme start="20130311220000 +0000" stop="20130311230000 +0000" channel="UK_RT_47">
    <title lang="en">Mark Lawson Talks To</title>
    <sub-title lang="en">2</sub-title>
    <sub-title lang="en">Mark Lawson Talks to Michael Palin</sub-title>
    <desc lang="en">The journalist interviews the actor, writer and TV presenter, who is best-known for his work with comedy team Monty Python and his travel documentaries. They discuss his childhood and early career, as well as some of the highs an lows of the famous ensemble.</desc>

many thanks in advance

if the grabber doesn't understand the episode number format then it adds it as a subtitle, radio times keep changing their formats so there will often be some episodes that don't get parsed.

Thanks Alan

for sure, RT appear to be providing some screwy data.

Code: Select all

<sub-title lang="en">48, series 11</sub-title>
    <sub-title lang="en">Lincolnshire 48</sub-title>

would it be possible to add an option to disable this behaviour (if a value for sub-title has already been retrieved)?
It seems more useful to have a sub-title of "Mark Lawson Talks to Michael Palin" than just "2"

many thanks as always.
