 Replying to [comment:7 robertm]:
 > We don't support the modification of the DB tables any more, and
 mythrename doesn't even exist any more-- there's no reason for this ticket
 to be reopened.  If you'd like coding answers please take your requests to
 the mailing lists.

 Sorry to have upset you.  I do not want to use mythrename at all.  I am
 using mythlink.pl, and am having the same problem as the original post
 because the filename that is attempted to write is too long.  I understand
 that the program should not attempt to anticipate the limitations of
 whatever filesystem I am using, but I would like to have the option to
 pass an argument to restrict or truncate the symbolic link name to the
 number of characters passed. If this was an inappropriate place for that
 post I apologize.

 Should this be a new ticket on mythlink, or should I take this to the
 mailing lists to figure out how to do it myself?
