In 0.18.1:

In the program_detail page, is there an easy way of also displaying
the episode number, for cases in which that data is available?  Some
channels often don't have real titles for their shows, or don't make
it clear that there are two parts with identical titles but different
episode numbers; having this info in mythweb would make it much easier
to discover this.  (Also, I have a database of previous recordings
made outside of Myth and it would be handy for knowing what's already
been recorded; that database will eventually be integrated into my
version of Myth so such shows won't be rerecorded anyway, but for the
moment being able to at least do this manually in mythweb would help a
lot.)  Note that I really am talking about the episode number, not the
ID; yes, I know that it's often not present, but that's the most
convenient number for me (it's short, it's human-meaningful, and my
other database already uses it).

I know that this info is displayed in the Program Details page in the
actual frontend UI, but using the frontend's UI is fairly painful
compared to mythweb with a real keyboard and a real high-resolution
display at reading distance, instead of a remote control and the TV's
output at viewing distance.

If this isn't some option I'm missing, I'd be willing to patch my
local copy of mythweb if someone could give me a pointer or two on
where in it to look---and is this info in (or being considered for)
the current SVN version?

Thanks...
