Comment:

 After [23474], mythrename.pl no longer renames recording files (and after
 23475 is called mythlink.pl).  Different file systems have different
 requirements for allowed characters and allowed file name lengths and
 allowed path lengths, making it difficult to safely handle all cases.
 Users should instead use symlink (created with mythlink.pl) or FUSE-based
 (with mythtv/contrib/exports/mythfs.py ) views of recordings files, rather
 than renaming the actual files.

 If you had previously renamed files, you may revert them to default file
 names with: mythlink.pl --rename
