Thanks.
But I think I'm doing that. Or rather: I'm not exactly doing that, in
that I'm not stripping the episode-num lines from the xmltv files before
feeding them to mythfilldatabase, but rather I'm squashing the programid
from the program table just after importing:
update program set programid="";
I have done the same in the recorded and oldrecorded tables, but I'm
still seeing duplicate upcoming recordings under a recording rule whose
duplicate check method is set to subtitle. (These are movies, so they
don't have a subtitle).
Should I instead replace the programid by my own hash, perhaps based on
the concatenation of title and subtitle?
