Comment:
The problem I have with fuzzy matching is the potential for false
positives which would be much more serious than false negatives here. The
user would probably not notice the error until they started watching
recordings and found the wrong channel was recorded. At least when
requiring manual intervention this is unlikely to occur.
The threshold of 0.9 is high but I'd still like to see some stats on the
number of false positives in testing given the size of the sample (DVB-S
in Europe would be a decent and varied sample set). This has the potential
to be more useful than the patch attached to #9417 but only if it achieves
an extremely low or zero error rate.
Our preferred fix for this has always been for work to be done on
'lineups' at the xmltv end but this appears to have stalled. If xmltv was
responsible for matching up channel names, frequencies or service ids to
the xmltvid then the results would be much more reliable. Therefore this
patch would only be an interim solution at best.
