Description

I noticed that in the EPG list, for shows where there was no <subtitle> element in XMLTV the grabber would incorrectly substitute with the previous <subtitle> value from a different show. I'm currently using the "file" (XMLTV) grabber.

Proof of this is that examining the XMLTV file, only one instance of the subtitle being displayed repeatedly appeared, and associated the correct show. However, it was being displayed for multiple shows.

Attached is an XMLTV file that causes the problem. One instance of the subtitle in question is "The Bitter End" (from Blue Bloods). Another is "Unfinished Business" (from Vegas), and yet a third is "Signals" (from Veep), or "Kissed by Fire" (from Game of Thrones). There are many other examples as well.

Correction - it appears that a non-empty <subtitle> element is required, as adding an empty one does not fix the problem. This smells like a "stale variable" or "missing variable re-initialization" between records parsed.

I can't see anything that would specifically account for this but I've tested the hypothesis and couldn't reproduce the problem.
