[mythtv-theming] Episode info in templates

How do you use episode info in a template?

How come (per the guide), this works

<template>%TITLE% (%YEAR%) - %DESCRIPTION%</template>

but this does not

<template>%TITLE% (%##x##%) - %DESCRIPTION%</template>

It seems like that should work, but it just prints ##x## instead of
the episode and season info. If I just do a field name of ##x## it
works correctly, so I know it has info for that particular item.

This is what I'm trying to use

        <textarea name="title2" from="basetextarea">
            <area>500,970,920,50</area>
            <align>top,hcenter</align>
            <case>capitaliseall</case>
            <multiline>no</multiline>
            <font>baseextralarge</font>
            <template>%TITLE%% - |SUBTITLE%% - |##x##%</template>
        </textarea>


Thanks,

Thomas Mashos
