[mythtv-users] Is SeriesID field of program used for anything?

[Xander]

I'm messing with a custom made XMLTV grabber, and was wondering if the seriesid column in the program table is used for anything?

Currently I've patched my mythfilldatabase to use the seriesid when present in the xml (set to a CRID from the data source).

I want to know if I can play with the seriesid field so that it would be different for all titles, even of the same series - e.g. seriesid="crid://something/series_crid/program_crid"

The reason I want to do this is so that duplicate matching using the generated programid works across networks (sometimes different crids are used by the same network, for series with season/episode info I let mythfilldatabase generate an EPxxxxx id for duplicate matching).
I currently use a slightly modified version of http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/10101 and fall back to title matching for season/episode info programs, which doesnt work well with double showings; hence wanting to be able to match a crid regardless.


Hope that made sense.
