If I am correct in thinking that this is mapped to ProgramId, then you can
get this information for any episode from the database via the MythTV
services API.

Try this on your back-end:

curl -H 'Accept: application/json' '
http://localhost:6544/Guide/GetProgramDetails?StartTime=2019-02-28T21:00:00&ChanId=1101
'

You should replace StartTime with an appropriate near-future starting time
for which you have EPG data for the show you are interested in and replace
ChanId with an appropriate ChanId on your system on which that show is
aired.

You will probably find ProgramId in the output somewhere between lines 3 to
6.

Cheers, Ian
