Hi all,
I notice that quite often EPG data contains events with null or empty
titles. These tend to be 'gaps' between programs (especially on movie
channels.) Would it be sensible to skip over these when showing the "Whats
on Next?" screen?
Looking at the code, the place that needs changed is
cSchedule::GetFollowingEvent in epg.c.
Apart from cMenuWhatsOn::cMenuWhatsOn in menu.c, the only other place place
this is called from is cSchedule::Dump - would the following patch (attached
and included below) cause any problems? I've been running it for a few days
and it seems ok.
Or would it be better to make the change to cMenuWhatsOn::cMenuWhatsOn?
Chris
