That should allow episodes without unique ID's per episode to not get re-scheduled at each EPG update. (Though, if the same episode comes back on a different time and date, well, you will have to cancel that one too, no way around it when you don't have something unique to link too).If there series and episode number are available, then the application already uses these for the unique id if another unique id is not available. (ie xmltv, dvb epg etc)
If its reliable, another possible unique identifier for a series episode might be its series episode designation (e.g. S02E03).
Sorry if I am not under standing the issue here.
