EIT does not insert program descriptions

Description

mythtv no longer inserts descriptions for from EIT data. i've checked with dvbsnoop that i do have program descriptions, i have also added some extra logging to the guide fixup function to verify that there is a description.

but, when insert_program() in eithelper.cpp is about to insert the data to mysql the description field is empty.

i don't know why this happens, any ideas?

i forgot, some programs do get a descriptions, but most don't.

comment:2 Changed 18 years ago by John.Pullan@…

I'm thinking it's either #538 or #344 (despite my previous comments) could you please revert these changes out and report back.

comment:3 Changed 18 years ago by torbjorn.jansson@…

Reverting changeset [7628] from #538 fixes it.

Can you try with the latest SVN? I just cleaned this code up a bit.

Also did you set the Guide Languages to languages you get OTA? If you run the backend with "-v siparser" do you get any messages like:

Added preferred language eng with priority 3

?

i tried with latest svn and now both title and description is empty :-) so now it's worse than before. mythweb shows just some colored boxes with noting in them.

and no i did not set any guide languages, didn't know i had to and besides shouldn't this just work even if you dont set anything? think about new users or those upgrading, it woud be kind of confusing getting empty descriptions and titles by default.

Could you try the attached patch please. It was resetting the best matches in the wrong place.

comment:9 Changed 18 years ago by janne-mythtv@…

the siparser patch does the trick.

I get now events just like with rev [7718].

(In [7770]) Fixes #579, by applying patch from John Pullan.

It looks like it was just a two line fix in the end that did it, the descriptor caches were being cleared at the start of the parse of each descriptor.

But I'm glad I cleaned up all that language selection stuff in the meantime. After [7758], it now initializes the preferred listings/subtitle/audio languages from the UI language, and it also handles the alternate language strings such as "deu"tch for "ger"man and "isl"enska for "ice"landic.

I think this needs one more adjustment. In searching for the largest priority we have to keep the largest one stored until the end of the descriptor list.

I try to attach my patch (first-time trac user). I have verified it in Finland with two languages in EIT, but with SE only, I think. And with r7770.

comment:12 Changed 18 years ago by janne-mythtv@…

I didn't see other patch before I was done.

Basicly the same solution, but with cleanup of the rather useless bestLanguage?? strings. If (priority <= bestpriority) you can use the current language string. Otherwise I don't see any reason to use the string value of the best matching language.

(In [7798]) Close #579, by applying patch from Janne.

Basically, this just keeps the best priority language seen around longer, and removes the reduntant best language string.

I believe Janne's patch is based on Mikko Suonio's patch, but I've used Janne's because it gets rid of redundant stuff.
