Question related to seriesid, but not about artwork. I'm in the UK, currently
using 0.21.
I've noticed that I now have some quite long seriesid appearing when I look at
the recorded page in Mythweb. These seem to concatenate either channel.xmltvid
(varchar(64)) or channel.default_authority (varchar(32)) and a number from
somewhere I haven't figured out yet.
However, program.seriesid is varchar(40). Some xmltvids in the UK can exceed
this size. Can I assume that this field has increased in size for 0.22, or is
there a possibility of truncation for users not in North America?
