Local news XML

Is it possible to improve the guide info for local news?

Currently, I'm using the service with Telly and Plex and plex detects this as a movie:


<programme start="20200917020000 +0200" stop="20200917030000 +0200" channel="CityTVCalgary.ca">
    <title lang="en">CityNews at 6 Calgary</title>
    <category lang="en">News</category>
    <premiere/>
  </programme>


But detects this as a TV show:

<programme start="20200917050000 +0200" stop="20200917054500 +0200" channel="ComedyCentral.us">
    <title lang="en">The Daily Show with Trevor Noah</title>
    <sub-title lang="en">The Daily Social Distancing Show - September 16, 2020</sub-title>
    <credits>

    <premiere/>
    <rating system="MPAA">
      <value>TV-14</value>
    </rating>
  </programme>


Presumably because it has the episode-num tag.

According to this
 
https://forums.plex.tv/t/howto-receive-c...ups/299330

it may work just to have the air date as something like this:  <episode-num system="original-air-date">2018-07-27 09:30:00</episode-num>
Considering news isn't generally re-run it seems like the air date could get calculated and stuck in for Category=News
