Following up from another thread, I have made the following updates to
the handling of the "Strictly Come Dancing" and "The X Factor" titles.
I realise they are close to finishing their current runs, but with
identical programme numbering being given for the regular and results
shows for both shows causing issues with duplicate detection in some
PVR software, the situation could be improved.

Strictly Come Dancing
=====================

Going forwards the intention is for the regular and results show to
have different titles, to permit the handling of identical episode
numbering when provided. The Radio Times feed identifies the different
titles as such, so rather than moving the "Results" text to an
edition's subtitle field (as used to happen), the titles will be kept
separate from now on where possible:

Strictly Come Dancing
Strictly Come Dancing: The Results


The X Factor
============

The Radio Times feed does not normally discriminate between the
regular and results shows, so the single standard programme title will
be kept. However, for the upcoming final and results show, the feed
includes different programme titles which have the same numbering
(XMLTV does not use numbering of the format 21a/22). To handle this
scenario I have added a specific override that will update the
programme number for the final results show from 21 to 22, which
should cause duplicate detection schemes that are using episode
numbering to determine this showing as a new episode and not a repeat
of the final.

The X Factor



These have been tested with the current stable release (0.5.61) of
XMLTV. Any problems, please reply.

Cheers,
Nick
