The unique ID for an EPG entry used to be optional. This was handy for MythTV since there isn't a unique ID for EPG entries (or likely any other backend that surfaces an XMLTV type interface).
Can EPG_TAG.iUniqueBroadcastId either be made optional or converted to a string?
I can make a synthetic unique ID as a string by concatenating the channel ID and a text representation of the start time. Turning that into an integer is much, much harder.
What data are other add-ons using to populate this field?
