Known Issue! Looking in to fixing it, when i have the time... and can be arsed ;)

For several weeks, we notice missing summary data on certain programs prepended with "New:" when using built-in opentv reader. The summary string appears to be no longer always the first descriptor in the summary data. A descriptor_tag 0xd0 now also sometimes seems to be transmitted before the summary string data, suggesting this descriptor is "a new first showing program flag?"

To fix this bug, the summery code requires an additional loop to cycle through the summary descriptors, as currently it assumed the summary string was always first and so reads first descriptor only and returns. This additional loop could also be used to return other present descriptors that are currently not read, like the series link id for possible future use.

PS. additional infos, tvheadend BUG #5995 (https://tvheadend.org/issues/5995)

Picking up the series link id sounds very useful, must admit I've no idea why it should need an "addition loop" to pick it up. :)
