Comment (by andrew@…):

 Confirming the kodi client uses both the services API (port 6544) and the
 mythv protocol (6543).
 Explains why I couldn't find where the 'event' mechanism was. Sorry this
 should have been tagged as mythprotocol not services API.

 The kodi client is set up to read ProgramInfo fields from the internal
 protocol when it receives an 'UPDATE' event.
 (https://github.com/janbar/pvr.mythtv/blob/doityourself/lib/cppmyth/src/proto/mythprotoevent.cpp#L173
 then
 https://github.com/janbar/pvr.mythtv/blob/doityourself/lib/cppmyth/src/proto/mythprotobase.cpp#L1058)

 I've not trapped the packets myself but based on what @fetzerch posted and
 having reproduced the symptoms he reported myself (and fixed the problem
 with @janbar's updated code), I strongly suspect the internal protocol is
 reporting 'airdate' as 'date of airing' (or QDate()) rather than 'original
 airdate' in the programinfo following an UPDATE event.

 This is an internal protocol so maybe it is intended operation, but it
 feels like a mistake to me.
