Re: ukrt - stereo

Thanks Nick,

I got an API key and tried it, but no "stereo" tag in the Atlas feed
either - at least not in what I retrieved.
Going through the data, I noticed a few subtle differences in the
grabber outputs also - these were the key ones:

XMLTV element         attr                 uk_rt                       Atlas
======================================================================
video                        quality             HDTV/SDTV          
<present> flag only
credits                      actor               name                   
  name and actor's role in show. Also producer, presenter etc
category                                          genre                 
  may contain EN 300468 -like content descriptor or Genre, or several (!)
episode                                           xmltv_ns (0.13/18.)  
xmltv_ns and/or brand.series.episode, depending on channel

Obviously the additional credits fields are useful, but the lack of
SDTV/HDTV, and differing category/episode presentation means I can't
easily use the Atlas feed without some work to the xmltv2vdr script

Would it be possible to add the additional credit info to uk_rt, e.g ?

      <actor role="Host">Jimmy Carr</actor>
      <actor role="Contributor">Rachel Riley</actor>
      <actor role="Contributor">Susie Dent</actor>
      <actor role="Contributor">Joe Lycett</actor>
      <actor role="Team Captain">Sean Lock</actor>
      <actor role="Team Captain">Joe Wilkinson</actor>
      <actor role="Contestant">Bill Bailey</actor>
      <actor role="Contestant">Isy Suttie</actor>
