So never mind (sort of). XMLTV GUI is written in something called Lua (of which I had never heard). But there are two nice things about Lua. First, it appears to be compiled at runtime, so you can edit parts of the program and not have to recompile the entire thing. Second, it's pretty easy to read. So I was able to add some new logic to the Schedules Direct plugin that adds a description of "no description" to the output if no description exists. Now all the automation is running fine. If anyone happens to be using XMLTV GUI, feel free to PM me and I can send you the file you need to update.

I'm seeing something that I'll classify as an undesirable behavior (rather than an outright bug). If I am recording two shows that end at the same time, only one of them shows up in the library. I can see in the file system that both shows are getting moved and renamed properly, and if I manually run another library scan, the other show appears in the library just fine. It seems like somehow having the ArgusTV post processor running twice at the same time is causing the second library update to either abort or not happen at all.

From looking at the code, it looks like the Argus (not xmltv) Category name for the Movie must match "Movies". Perhaps that is not the category name anymore (it was when it was still 4tr).
Edit-- I did a quick test and in the "Upcoming Recordings" screen, my scheduled movie still have a category of "Movies", so perhaps Argus is not properly categorizing your imported xmltv as a movie?
