Utilize Schedules Direct metadata if grabber makes it available
Schedules Direct provides some additional metadata that at least one
upstream XMLTV grabber now optionally makes available. Use that metadata
if it is provided by the grabber (typically the grabber will need to be
told to provide the additional information via a grabber --configure).
In particular, with this patch, the original air date and a new episode
flag is available and can be useful to better schedule recordings.
The (real soon now) next XMLTV release will include the new grabber, and
one can obtain the upstream master code now.
If the additional metadata information is not available (or not configured
in the grabber to be made available) the results are the same as today.
FWIW, I have been using this patch (and the upstream grabber updates) for
a couple of months now.
Patch will be attached.
