Update existing programs in EPG

i don't agree. manual recordings do not depend on the guide and therefore won't be touched by an update. from update to update the title won't change, the only thing which would change is the time. if the gap is to great, the schedule will be deleted, otherwise it will be updated. where is the problem?

you say title+subtitle will be enough. but in my case, there is no subtitle, it's empty for future shows (4-5 days ahead).

the idea is to have something like a timeslot: if title or time of a scheduled show don't fit the new title or timeslot, the schedule will be lost (and that's ok, for the show you wanted to record won't be broadcasted). maybe gbpvr could display a message...

in the other case (title ok, timeslot ok) the schedule will be updated.

the old myhtpc did that this way and i never had problems with the guide.
and there will be an always up-to-date tv-guide...

What if you had unique-identifier(s) for them?

P.S. My XMLTV parser and "Uniquer" is close to being ready. I have a couple of minor bugs, but basically it's already showing promise.

For this particular feature I'm not going to rely on data that is not always present. If I implement something in the future its going to have to work for zap2it, XMLTV, bleb etc. I'm not going to rely on a XMLTV field that not one XMLTV grabber has today.

Must warn you all, that title alone is not enough.
And title + time is also ambiguous.
Title + Subtitle are good, but not perfect.

Subtitle is not available for many XMLTV grabbers.
