I'd guess so--since until we actually start up a player, we don't have
stream information.
> Also, transcoding strips the subtitles from the DVB-S stream. Although I'd rather keep them, I can live without them. However, the 'subtitles available' icon is still shown. Is there any way of some how re-parsing the file to update the database with the new contents?
Subtitles available comes from program listings, not from the actual
recording/streams available.
