Fix for mixed category name case sensitivity in program list (+simple workaround)

[anonymous]

Up until recently the radio times list all films (movies ;-) ) with the category 'film', then they changed to 'Film' (with a period in between where they couldn't seem to decide and used both).

I have my program list screen configured to 'Categories only'. When a program of the 'Film' category was recorded the 'film' category was no longer listed due to a case sensitivity mismatch in playbackbox.cpp.

The obvious work around is to change all the programs to have the same category (in mysql) :

update recorded set category="film" where category="Film" ;

However, for the period where to listing provider vacillated between the two the list of 'films' would be unreliable.

Attached patch removes the case insensitivity from sortedList, this means that if there are categories 'Film' and 'film' both will get listed, although this isn't very pretty I think its better to have a user ask 'Lawks, why do I have two film categories?' rather than 'Crivens! Where's all my films gone?!'.

It looks like this problem shouldn't occur anymore at least if you are using trunk. The categories are fixed in mythfilldatabase now. ​http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/13774

13374 didn't address problems with EIT. But the problem was fixed properly with [14670], I just didn't notice this ticket at the time.
