XML <series-id> Tag

Playground
#1

I can't find any documentation on this. How does Channels handle this tag?

I'm working on a xml EPG generator. If my xml has
<series-id system="tms">183893</series-id>

Channels coverts it to
<series-id system="xmltv:">183893</series-id>

Does that mean I can't use TMS values? If not, I'd still at least like to use a Series name. How should my xml be structured to do this? Should I configure my EPG generator to always output
<series-id system="xmltv:">?
or would it be better to generate <series-id> without the system attribute?

Would <series-id system="xmltv:">Cat TV</series-id> group all recordings in a folder called "Cat TV"?

I forget offhand but you could check what the DVR generated xmltv looks like for a HDHR source to compare.

We can probably add support for system="tms"

If I go to Sources > Manage > Copy EPG URL, then view it. <system-id="tms"> is already there for channels using in the built-in EPG. That's why I thought I could use it.

It is read in correctly as a series ID. But when generating xmltv from xmltv the system id gets mangled.

Feeding this to Channels seems to work as long as a TMS value is used.
<series-id system="">183893</series-id>

Channels converts it to <series-id system="xmltv:">183893</series-id>

If my xml contains, <series-id system="tms">183893</series-id>, Channels converts it to <series-id system="xmltv:">tms/183893</series-id>
