A quality tag in the middle of a channel name no longer glues its neighbours
Stripping a quality tag such as FHD or [HD] also removed the spaces around it, so a tag in the middle of a name joined two words that were never one:
| Before | After |
|---|---|
SKY NEWS FHD rec became SKY NEWSrec |
now SKY NEWS rec |
CNN [HD] USA became CNNUSA |
now CNN USA |
A glued name matches nothing. It also could not be reached by a custom ignore tag, which is applied with a word boundary and finds none inside NEWSrec, so that setting appeared to do nothing on exactly the names the gluing had damaged. A tag at the start or end of a name was never affected.
This is the change that 1.26.2241113 said it made and did not. It was made in a component shared with the sibling plugins, but EPG Janitor keeps its own copy of the function in question, so the shared version never ran here.
Measured against the shipped channel databases: 134 of 43,469 names normalise differently, every one of them a name that had been glued.
