Samsung: Show Titles contain both Show and Episode name #36

Closed bgiesing closed 1 year ago

bgiesing commented 1 year ago

I use Channels DVR with the US M3U/XML links and many channels put the show title and episode name together as the show title making for a new show entry for every single episode cluttering my library, any chance you can have your parser split the data?

For example, the Modern Marvels channel has guide entries named like "Modern Marvels: Beans" when it should be show "Modern Marvels" and episode "Beans". Some other channels instead use a dash as the separator like Dance Moms "Dance Moms - A Team On Trial".

What about shows that have : or - in their actual name?

The only thing I can think of is check the channel name as a comparision? Wouldn't cover every single instance but would prevent false positives.

Like if you see a show on a channel called "Modern Marvels" is called "Modern Marvels: Beans" it's a pretty safe assumption that it should actually be "Beans"

Yep that seems to have fixed it in a lot of cases, still shows up occasionally on some channels that aren't just 24/7 of the same show (like #1233 Deal Zone) but it's likely the best that can be done unless Samsung provides better source data image
