Comment (by dekarl):

 Yes, I wrote that code and it is in master already. I run master in
 production. (although I try to just use xmltv.se as epg provider these
 days :)

 Your subtitle code seems to do almost the same as mine, but it has some
 small issues. The three letter code is a language code, and the subtitle
 does begin directly after the language code. But the text can start with a
 special encoding mark of 1 to 3 bytes. (btw, that is a common setup for
 all kinds of texts in DVB descriptors, length, three letter language, then
 the text maybe including an encoding mark)
 Also there appears to be a off by one when reading the subtitle starting
 at the second byte, but still reading the full length.
 0xA7 is used as a magic value instead of a constant, e.g.
 upc_event_episode_title in master.

 Should a provider start to send multiple subtitles with different
 languages we can start to pick the correct one. The settings are already
 in place.

 The addition of kFixGenericDVB should not be necessary as it is added
 automatically for all DVB-EIT events.

 As always, I'd love to collect some specimen (hexdumps from dvbsnoop
 showing an EIT event in the wild) for the work in progress unit tests.
 (Although they are a bit on the back burner at the moment)
