Yan,
    I'm not an expert, but my guess is that it's not.
    The code thats generating the response is in:

       programs/mythbackend/mainserver.cpp

    By my reading of 'HandleQueryRecordings', the logic is basically:

        // query 'recorded' table
        outputlist << QString::number(query.size());
        while (query.next()) {
            ProgramInfo *proginfo = query2pginfo(query);
            proginfo->ToStringList(outputlist);
        }
         SendResponse(pbssock, outputlist)

    I don't see how this code could produce the results you're seeing.
    You might want to double check your end?
