The extended event descriptor is not read correctly in event.cpp
It works most of the time, however the dvb spec allows for the extended event descriptor to be segmented into multiple extended event descriptors, which is not handled here.
enigma2 is storing all extended event descriptors it finds but only using 1 of them.

a single extended event descriptor can contain more data than fits on the screen, so perhaps the person that implemented this decided it would not make sense to parse more than one descriptor

But you are right, if this is indeed what happens, it's not correct, strictly speaking.

For the people who need to merge the short and extended descriptions, I think this should be checked because it may be the rest of their description is in another extended descriptor.

Sorry, spoke too soon. I didnt notice the += on the event description, so the only bug would be if the the descriptors came in out of order which I am not sure that they can.
