Problem

Jellyfin’s Schedule/Programme tabs look empty because the XMLTV has almost no metadata:

<programme start="..." stop="..." channel="C2.146.ersatztv.org">
  <title lang="en">Late Night</title>
  <episode-num system="onscreen">S02E22</episode-num>
  <rating><value>TV-MA</value></rating>
  <previously-shown/>
</programme>

Missing: - Description/plot - Year - Genre - Actors/directors - Poster/image - Original title

Why It Matters

Without rich metadata: - Jellyfin shows empty programme cards - No “Up Next” previews - No actor info, no genre tags - Guide looks like a bare list instead of a rich TV experience
