Bug #2070
Missing validation on tag name (can be empty)
0%
Description
Some guy on the XBMC forum has managed to create an empty tag (see http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=182355). This should not be possible since a tag with no name makes no sense.
It could be ignored in the pvr.tvh addon but that seems like an unnecessary hack (XBMC ignores it anyway).

But yeah a simple validation on load would probably not be a bad idea. The only thing I'd say is you start here and you'll end up with needing validation all over the shop! TVH generally takes a pretty light approach to configuration validation, there are various reasons for this (mainly because we're lazy), but also because its intended to be used by people that have a vague idea of what they're doing but checks usually exist at point of entry rather than when loading the config.
