Description
Describe the feature
Currently in some listings (e.g. Most recent, Soon offline or TV guide) we show episodes of multiple TV shows in a single listing. To make this somewhat useful, we prepend the TV show name (or start time) in the label. However as soon as a SortMethod is added to the listing, not the label, but the title (episode name) is being shown.
Because of this bug, we have to add the TV show title (ListItem.TvShowTitle) to the Episode title (ListItem.Title) so that the listing includes the TV show name (as a workaround). However, when we show the Video Info pane, shows the TV show title twice now. (There is no winning here)
Obviously this bug should be fixed in Kodi.
This is implemented in xbmc/xbmc#17200

Research direction
Start by reading the Kodi issue referenced as xbmc/xbmc#17200 and compare it with the listing workaround described here. Trace how SortMethod affects the label and title in the add-on's Kodi listings; done means the TV show name or start time remains the label without duplicating it in the Video Info pane.
