Description

(Tested on 4.1.2328 using UK Freeview DVB-T).

When a Series Link recording is scheduled from an EPG entry, the title of that episode is included in the parameters to be checked against events along with the series CRID and channel. This causes a problem if episodes of the series have different titles. For example this current series on UK Freeview:

Avalanche: Dangerous Earth
Volcano: Dangerous Earth
Lightning: Dangerous Earth

A series link based on one episode will not record the other episodes because their titles are different.

It is possible to manually work around the problem by changing the title in the series link (in this case to "Dangerous Earth"), but it would be preferable for the matching algorithm to ignore the event title if a valid series CRID is present.

Here is a simple patch I'm testing which should fix my issue, though I doubt it will be suitable for all of the environments where TVH is used.
