Orbit TV 0.99.1: the library's exact names for listed titles

This is the second isolated editorial correction (catalogue name matching), from the proposal of 4 November 2026. The change is to channel lists only.

What's in it

Each title below was checked by hand against a read-only copy of the catalogue. The library holds the same work under a different exact name. That name is added beside the original, and the original stays in case the library gains it. Matching stays exact, with no fuzzy or partial matching and nothing standing in for a missing title.

Each added name is placed exactly as its original:

• in the same blocks and events
• in the same tier (Cosmos (2014) is core on Odyssey)
• with the same shuffled or in-order setting

Channel	Listed	Added (library's exact name)
Odyssey	Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey	Cosmos (2014)
Odyssey	Civilizations	Civilisations (2018)
Odyssey	The Vietnam War	The Vietnam War (2017)
Odyssey	Parts Unknown	Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown
Odyssey	Michael Palin's Himalaya	Himalaya with Michael Palin
Odyssey	Pole to Pole	Pole to Pole with Michael Palin
Odyssey	Ancient Apocalypse	Ancient Apocalypse (2022)
Dark Files	The Staircase	The Staircase (2004)
Dark Files	Homicide Hunter	Homicide Hunter: Lt. Joe Kenda
Dark Files	My Ghost Story	My Ghost Story: Caught on Camera
Dark Files	Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel	Crime Scene (the Netflix anthology; its first season is the Cecil Hotel)
Vortex	Tenchi Universe	Tenchi Muyo! Tenchi Universe
Orbit Junior	Bluey	Bluey (2018)
Orbit Junior	Noddy	Noddy's Toyland Adventures (also on Tots; clash avoidance keeps them apart)
Sci-Fi	Alien 3	Alien³ (1992)
Wonder	The Secret World of Arrietty	Arrietty (2010)
Wonder	The Tale of Princess Kaguya	The Tale of The Princess Kaguya

Several names from the proposal's table needed nothing, because the channel already reads the library's name: Rambo: First Blood (First Blood is on Action), Voltron, Tenchi Muyo, Cardcaptors, Thomas & Friends, and Zoids (Vortex already reads Zoids: Chaotic Century, so that question is answered).

Not changed, and why

• No substitution: South Pacific (only the musicals exist), Air Crash Investigation (only its Special Report spin-off), Gundam Wing (only the Endless Waltz film), and Great Barrier Reef, which is waiting for Paul to say which series.
• Names already exact but not in the pool:
  • Junior: The Clangers, Rainbow.
  • Action: Bloodsport, Crank (Crank is also listed twice).
  • The likely causes are the English-audio filter or the box's decoders, but that isn't confirmed. The pool reader logs a note for each at the next pool refresh, which is the place to read the cause. No change until then.
• Not in the library at all: these keep their names in case it gains them, as listed in the proposal.

Checks before install

• 402 unit tests pass. Lint has no errors.
• New CatalogueNamesTest: every added name sits beside its original, in the same blocks, tier and order setting. Matching stays exact.
• Fingerprints: a four-week replay of all 30 channels on the box's current pools is identical to 0.99.0. That's expected, because the new titles only enter a pool when the channel next reads the library.

Known limits

• When a pool next refreshes, these shows and films join it. On Odyssey, Dark Files, Junior and Vortex they then take their turn in their blocks; on Sci-Fi and Wonder they join the film rotation. They don't appear on air until new bookings reach them, which fits the coordinated cutover plan.
• Their episode counts aren't known until the box reads them, so their effect on shares isn't replayed here. The final network audit before the cutover will include them.

Rollback

Install 0.99.0. Shows already read into a pool stay there until the next refresh.
