Thanks for that! Yeah, I noticed you merged some patches, but didn't notice
that you replaced the static tabled by a read at iso-codes XML file.

It is a very nice idea! Good catch! I guess I'll use the same approach also
for iso 3166 codes, with are also used on MPEG EIT tables, for
parental control.

One notice about that, though: The iso-codes xml file that it is
shipped with Fedora(iso-codes-3.74-2.fc26.noarch) comes with a notice
at /usr/share/xml/iso-codes/iso_639-2.xml:

	<!--

	WARNING: THIS FILE IS DEPRECATED.

	PLEASE USE THE JSON DATA INSTEAD.

	Usually, this data can be found in /usr/share/iso-codes/json.

With sounds a little scary, as they may eventually get rid of this
file on some future.

Thanks,
Mauro
