This is apparently caused by VDR's EPG "bugfix":
Yep, I know that and the only reason I've been using bugfix level 1 is "No Title" fix. Could we move that to level 0 ?
I'd prefer to have level 0 leave the data (mostly) untouched (except for the newline and control characters). When looking at a provider's EPG data with bugfix level 0 I want to see everything they do wrong. And not providing a title is wrong.
If you like we could introduce a new bugfix level and shift the existing ones up by one, so that the new level '1' would just change a NULL title to "No title".
I do wonder, though, why they write the information between brackets. There's absolutely no reason for that...
It's an old custom to introduce the original name, country, year and duration of the movie inside brackets following the actual description of the event, but ometimes that actual description is missing on channel Nelonen.

Yes, but why do they put this into the _short_ text? This is data that should go into the _description_.
AFAICS this EPG bugfix is the only one that actually removes data from the records, which apparently isn't that good. I'll remove this fix entirely, since fix #6 will move a lengthy short text into an empty description, anyway.
