Season and Episode values sometimes incorrect

[Bobins]

The majority of UK EPG doesn't include the Series data and often uses the format of 5/100 .i.e. Episode 5 of 100 (e.g. BBC TWO: Richard Osman's House of Games).
For a long time NPVR has translated it to S00E05.
I know we've looked at this several times previously and given there is no universal EPG standard requiring inclusion of Series and Episode data, getting logic that works for all EPG sources/Countries is a challenge. We don't even have consistency over the Terrestrial channels in the UK.

I was able to figure out what was going on. Sometime the guide data has this show title split with ellipses as shown in post #1 and sometime it is not split. When shows are split those leading episode/count variables aren't ever parsed to S00E.. Sometimes like those North Surrey episodes the data isn't there at all.

The main issue I wanted to look at was the redundant season/episode string was supposed to get removed and that leading info kept. Looking at how it is working is that is reversed.
