ScheduleEntry has an isClassroom flag, which I guess corresponds to the cableInTheClassroom flag from SchedulesDirect. Also an integer minumAge field (does this interact with parental controls?). I would have expected that one on a Program rather than a ScheduleEntry..
Programs have a bunch of genre related flags like isComedy, isDocumentary, isDrama, isEducational, isGeneric, isHorror, & isIndy. I'm wondering if these would show up either in the grid categories or in the color scheme?
BTW, the epg123.MXF file is UTF-16. Is this intended? (UTF-8 would be about half the size, noticed it because notepad++ is complaining there are some UTF-8 characters in it, so I guess not *completely* UTF-16).
Found some undocumented flags for Programs and ScheduleEntry

The TV ratings are on the schedule entry. You can surmise the reasoning if you look at the movies ... an R-rated movie (program) will be edited for TV to be a TV-PG rating (schedule entry). You can also have the same movie unedited on a premium channel so use the same program entry with the TV-MA rating on the schedule entry. Not sure if minimumAge field does anything.glugglug wrote:ScheduleEntry has an isClassroom flag, which I guess corresponds to the cableInTheClassroom flag from SchedulesDirect.

If you don't see anything now, then there is no difference. I started populating these in 1.0.0 to see if some Kodi/ServerWMC users would have any benefit from it. As far as I can tell, they are unused by WMC.glugglug wrote:Programs have a bunch of genre related flags like isComedy, isDocumentary, isDrama, isEducational, isGeneric, isHorror, & isIndy.

I am intentionally using UTF-16 for foreign languages/characters. I'm not sure how/why there would be mixed UTF-8 and UTF-16.glugglug wrote:BTW, the epg123.MXF file is UTF-16. Is this intended?
