#2754: Colon in subtitle confuses mythfrontend, MythWeb
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Reporter: ylee at pobox.com | Owner: ijr
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone: unknown
Component: mythtv | Version: 0.20
Severity: medium |
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
I formerly ran the following script every hour in my crontab to gain
human-readable filenames:
perl /usr/share/doc/mythtv-0.20/contrib/mythrename.pl --format "\%T \%-
\%Y-\%m-\%d, \%g-\%i \%A, ch\%c %- %S" --replacement -
This caused problems with four recordings. The one thing they have in
common is that they all have a colon in their subtitles:
Rick Steves' Europe
Highlights of Paris: Eiffel and Monet to Crème Brulée
Great Museums: Year of the Museum Specials
Boston Children's Museum: Mind Over Matter
Great Museums: Year of the Museum Specials
National Baseball Hall of Fame: Home Base
Great Museums: Year of the Museum Specials
Riches, Rivals and Radicals: 100 Years of Museums in America
Neither mythfrontend nor MythWeb was able to find the recordings after the
renamings, even though the file names matched what MythWeb would tell me
it couldn't find when I clicked on one of these recordings.
When I altered the crontab entry to read
perl /usr/share/doc/mythtv-0.20/contrib/mythrename.pl --format "\%T \%-
\%Y-\%m-\%d, \%g-\%i \%A, ch\%c %- %S" --replacement -
--in other words, no longer include subtitles in the human-readable
filenames--mythfrontend was able to see and play the newly-renamed
recordings (also, of course, showing that mythbackend never lost track of
the files, as the script was able to work through it to rename them
again). Also note that this issue has nothing to do with having a colon or
other punctuation in recordings' titles; I've watched plenty of other
episodes of Rick Steves' Europe, for example.
This issue existed at least as far back as 0.19 and still exists in
0.20-fixes.
