Hi Guys,
I am based in Australia, and I have an issue that I think is caused by the EPG (not containing Season/Episode).
TV is able to be recorded, but the Season/Episode information is a problem.
Setup:
Plex (UnRaid Docker) -> Xteve -> TVHeadend -> DVB Tuner
TVHeadend successfully extracts the EPG data from the OTA broadcast:
EG:
<programme start="20200224130000 +1100" stop="20200224144500 +1100" channel="ffe4537733b0d6e700e32c15afc0e267">
<title lang="eng">Australian Survivor: All Stars - Encore</title>
<sub-title lang="eng">
Everyone's favourite Survivor reward is up for grabs - it's the Survivor Auction. However, the rules have changed and instead of using individual cash, each tribe has a communal kitty to pool from.

Xteve grabs the EPG XML data, and manipulates is a bit… Plex is configured to grab the EPG from Xteve:
<programme channel="80" start="20200224193000 +1100" stop="20200224210000 +1100">
<title lang="eng">Australian Survivor: All Stars</title>

After Tribe swap, things are a bit shaky for a few tribe members lost without their alliances. Tribe members scramble to show their loyalty, but will the vote be swayed in their favour?

The problem is that this entry will then be recorded as Season 2020, Episode ?
Looking at thetvdb: https://www.thetvdb.com/series/australian-survivor
This episode should be identified as Season 7, Episode 10 (based on the air date).
Is there something I can do to make Plex/Xteve understand the AirDate… then lookup the value in TheTVDB?
Thanks in advance.
