Danish EIT fixups are putting the description in the subtitle

Description

Sometimes my recorded programs contain a newline character in the subtitle.

Example:

INSERT INTO recordedprogram VALUES (1101,'2010-10-02 23:10:00','2010-10-03 01:10:00','Ingen er fuldkommen','Amerikansk komedie fra 1959.\rSugar er sangerinde i et dame-orkester i forbudstidens USA.','Hun ved ikke, at hendes to bedste veninder i orkestret i virkeligheden er mænd i forklædning, på flugt fra nogle gangstere, og Joe og Jerry har meget svært ved at bevare kvindeligheden i samværet med hende. Sugar: Marilyn Monroe. Joe: Tony Curtis. Jerry: Jack Lemmon. Manuskript: Billy Wilder og I.A.L. Diamond. Instruktion: Billy Wilder.',,'tvshow',0000,0,0,,1,0,0,0,0,0,,NULL,,,,,0,0,1,1,1,'STEREO',,'WIDESCREEN');

The \r character is not escaped by addslashes in modules/tv/tmpl/default/recorded.php resulting in a newline in the javascript text string.

If I change line 70 from:

file.subtitle = '<?php echo addslashes($show->subtitle) ?>';

Into:

file.subtitle = '<?php echo addslashes(str_replace(array("\n","\r"), ' ', $show->subtitle)) ?>';

the page work correctly again.

How is your guide data sourced? XMLTV, schedules direct or EIT? It appears the description is being inserted into the wrong field and that should be fixed.

The data comes from DVB-T EIT

Some help on this would be appreciated from Danish users. I can remove the fixup that puts the description in the subtitle, but I don't know whether that would break some other channels.

I'm not going to get this fixed for 0.25, but I will backport to 0.25.1 when I do. Right now it looks like the Danish providers are sticking longer than subtitle length descriptions in the 'short' event descriptors.

Our EIT parser is at fault for treating these short descriptions as subtitles when they are anything but. There are other problems with treating the short even descriptor (max 255 char) as subtitle (max 128 char). The EIT spec makes no stipulation that the short event descriptor should contain an episode name, just a short description of the programme.

Fixing this means possibly breaking it for some networks which just happen to put the episode name in the subtitle field. We'd need to write proper fixups for those locations at the same time.

Karl, maybe you'll have time to look at this for 0.27?

comment:16 Changed 11 years ago by Karl Egly

Can I see the output of "dvbsnoop -n 1 0x12" for such a program? From the EITFixUp::FixDK it is only applicable to the YouSee? DVB-C network (ONID 0xFE00, registered to TeleDenmark?), which does not fit to this sample being sourced from DVB-T. It appears as if the channel in question splits the program description into the short_event_descriptor and the extended_event_descriptor. If that happens on every danish DVB-T channel and they use the proper ONID 0x20D0 for danish DVB-T we can merge both in the description and leave the subtitle empty with a new fixup.

We can't fix it without your support, sorry.
