Multiple increase in output file size about jtv2xmltv HOT 2 CLOSED

I checked 1115.ndx/1115.pdt files from the problematic JTV file. According to the JTV format definition that I have, some of the references from 1115.ndx file have incorrect offset to 1115.pdt file.

Example is record 1361 in 1115.ndx file (offset 0x3fce):

0003fc0 ff9a 0000 4a00 9789 38ea 01d9 ffdc 0000
0003fd0 9200 44b0 38ec 01d9 0018 0000 6600 395e

12 bytes from the record (the last two are offset to PDT file in LE byte order): 00 00 00 92 B0 44 EC 38 D9 01 18 00

At 0x0018 offset in 1115.pdt file should be the length of title but it's pointing to the end of JTV header

As a workaround you can try to use jtv2xmltv 0.2.1 which is not strictly following JTV format and can help in this case.

Thank you, yes indeed there are no problems on version 0.2.1. It would be convenient if an additional cli key appeared, when enabled, the code block responsible for non-strict file processing was called. I'd rather see this feature in the next release.
