Description

EPG from german DVB does not show any subtitle or episode. For no channel.
Other EPG interpreters like vdr do provide that kind of information

I confirm that OTA EPG info (in the popup box) shows the show name, a description of the show, but no episode name or episode number. This applies to Canal Digitaal and Freesat EPG info, I have internal grabber disabled, UK: Freesat and EIT: DVB grabber enabled.

EIT doesn't provide those fields in a standard manner, therefore they will not be present for EIT.

Some providers do make the information available using non-standard (i.e. broadcaster specific) mechanisms. Often using the key/value structures in the EIT extended event descriptor. But I'd need to get hold of some sample data, or someone would need to do a bit of hacking to see what's in the feed.

Either way this is not a bug.

Hello Adam,

the german providers send the subtitle in the summary field in most cases. When there is a description, Tvheadend ignores the summary. You can see my quick'n'dirty hack in https://github.com/polini/tvheadend/commit/7c38872ab7086852faa654ec04a9834d2646d729 (lines 342-344). Some channels send the title also in the summary, so perhaps you could check if summary != title to avoid redundance.
