Mythutil --pidprinter --xml output is NOT valid XML

[exegptxg5q@…]

The output from mythutil --pidprinter --xml is not well formed for several reasons: 1) it does not have the leading <?xml> processing instruction. 2) It does not have a proper master node - if you dump several types of PSIP entry it will create each one at the top level, rather than as sub-nodes of the parent. 3) Nodes are not being properly XML escaped, so 3a) attributes are being created containing un-escaped quotes (example: <ProgramMapSection pcr_pid="0x31" program_number="1"

program_info_length="17" stream_count="table_id="0x02" length="124" section="0" last_section="0""%8>

) 3b) Attributes can contain characters that need to be escaped in XML, such as < and & (example: <Decoded>Audio Stream Descriptor full_srv(1) sample_rate(48kbps) bit_rate(<=384kbps, 46)

bsid(8) bs_mode(0) channels(<= 6) Dolby(Not indicated) mainID(0) </Decoded>

Note the unescaped "<=384" in the XML. ) 4) Junk at the end of the ProgramMapSection tag: (example: see above - note the %8> at the end of the tag.).

Note to self: need to look into an issue with PrintOutput::Output when m_out is NULL. The LOG output does not make it to stdout which is confusing when testing. Using --outfile /dev/stdout works though. ​https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/mythtv/programs/mythutil/mpegutils.cpp#L422
