That would just make a bit of extra work.  There is no <series> field in 
the metadata, and there is no need for one.  The series number is the 
only thing of interest re: series.  Also, the "Series XXX" needs to stay 
in <name> so that "Add Series" in the Web PVR will work.  I would also 
bet a number of people rely on the "Series XXX" string in <name> to sort 
their output files.  Presumably <nameshort> exists to accommodate those 
who don't.

Given the way split_title works, I'm not sure why the <nameshort> regex 
is what it is. I can't see how there would ever be a colon following the 
"Series XXX" string.  No current tv/radio programmes produce one, 
anyway.  That would make the fix simple.
