By default the additional info is excluded since the programme guide already returns a lot of information and many users of the API need to keep the bandwidth usage down (mobile data, low bit rate connections etc). Looking up some of the additional data also requires additional database queries so it's marginally slower.

If you're writing an app for use with a mobile data connection (instead of wifi) then you're users may appreciate the difference between looking up all data even when it's not required and only fetching that data on-demand. For example only fetching the programme description if the user selects/highlights the programme.

Not really related, but while I have you… I was going to try and start a recording, then stream the created recording for viewing Live TV in the iOS app.. Then it occurred to me, that Mythtranscode tries to go as fast as it can when transcoding the HLS stream… Is there a mechanism in place to prevent that? So it won’t reach the end of the live recording and then stop?

Thanks!

Greg
