Hi,

I found the following code in epg.c lines 633-636:

// VDR can't usefully handle newline characters in the title and shortText of EPG // data, so let's always convert them to blanks (independent of the setting of EPGBugfixLevel): strreplace(title, '\n', ' '); strreplace(shortText, '\n', ' ');

AFAIK, VDR _can_ handle newlines in the title and shortText, as long as they are represented as '|'. So I wonder if it would not be an improvement to change the above code into

// Change newline characters into '|', which will be displayed as newline. strreplace(title, '\n', '|'); strreplace(shortText, '\n', '|');

By "VDR can't usefully handle newline characters in the title and shortText" I meant that the title and short text are always used in a "single line" context. There's no point in having newlines in there.
