Some bug fixes and modifications have been made to the data set - these are
outlined below.
1. The character set being used is now correctly identified as
ISO-8859-9. This was always the case but the ISO-8859-1 ident was
incorrectly displayed.
2. When audio description is being provided for a programme, this is
indicated with an extra AudioAtrributes entry with an AudioLanguage purpose
of type 1 (Audio description for the visually impaired):
<AudioAttributes>
<NumOfChannels>1</NumOfChannels>
<AudioLanguage purpose='urn:tva:metadata:cs:AudioPurposeCS:2004:1'>E
N-UK</AudioLanguage>
</AudioAttributes>
3. The missing ServiceGenre items in the ServiceInformationTable have now
been added.
4. CBeebies' identifier was misspelt as "CeeBeebies" in the
ServiceInformationTable (and everywhere else!) This has now been
corrected. Note that this has also affected the filename used to represent
the channel's data.
-----
Some forthcoming changes/issues.
1. It has been pointed out that the format of the DVB locator used in the
ContentReferencing Tables and the ProgramLocation tables don't conform to
the DVB standard! Essentially the divider between the date and time should
use "--" rather than "/" to be DVB compliant.
e.g. dvb://233a.4000.4740;[EMAIL PROTECTED]:00:00Z--PT01H00M
While this is dead easy to fix, it may cause some software already written
to use the current method to fail so this is forewarning that this bug will
be fixed soon.
2. More channels have been requested. I'm currently testing the inclusion
of almost all BBC regional radio stations in the schedules. The main
issue is that at present they don't represent occasions when more than one
regional station is broadcasting the same programme.
3. Currently, the 2002 genre classification is being used instead of the
more recent 2004. While again something very easy to change since they're
very similar, this again could have issues for software expecting the 2002.
