</div>In other words, the season and episode information belong in other<br>
fields--specifically the <episode-num> element--and the year of<br>
broadcast belongs in the "start" attribute of the <previously-shown><br>
element. See<br>
<a href="http://xmltv.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xmltv/xmltv/xmltv.dtd" target="_blank">http://xmltv.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xmltv/xmltv/xmltv.dtd</a> .<br>

If you're getting your data from EIT, and it really contains such broken<br>
data, you need to create an EIT fixup for your provider. (Search here<br>
for more information on them/examples of previous commits with EIT fixups.)<br></blockquote><div><br>Now, i'm using xmltv, <a href="http://tv.swedb.se">tv.swedb.se</a>. Maybe i should look at EIT data if that looks better?<br>

</div>Though it might(?) break metadata lookup for anyone using Swedish with<br>
valid listings data (i.e. from some other source).<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>As it is now, no one independent of what data they use, can identify specific episodes of House in Swedish since the episode name is empty in <a href="http://thetvdb.org">thetvdb.org</a>. If i understand everything right i cant break anything for anyone else.<br>
