[mythtv-users] "The file for this recording cannot be found"

Oops, my bad, the file is there though, checked again:

/media/mythtv # ls | grep -i beyonc

I have been running mythrename this way since I setup my Mythbox with no
problems. I preferred no symlinks as I tend to copy around my recordings to
various boxes/laptops all the time and it's a bit easier to just glance the
directory list and see what's what...

Thanks
Bob
