I think this could easily be fixed by making MythArchive use the standard
ProgramInfo::GetPlaybackURL() method of finding the file location
instead of using gContext->GetSetting("RecordFilePrefix") and building
the filename itself.

Hopefully Paul will see this and take care of it, if not I'll have to
do so as part of my ongoing Storage Groups project since the
RecordFilePrefix setting will go away with the introduction of
Storage Groups.
