Comment (by brian@…):

 Replying to [comment:9 dekarl]:
 > I don't understand. What is broken that you are fixing by renaming
 recording files?

 Does it really matter?

 The bottom line here is that there is an identified bug and patch has been
 supplied to fix it.

 And seemingly a strange reluctance to fix a clearly identified bug.

 > By manually fiddling with the recording file names you are leaving the
 tested and supported scenarios,  thus finding little issues all over the
 place.

 Except that I don't find any, other than this one.  Other than this issue,
 renaming the files and updating the DB accordingly works fine.

 > My short term suggestion is to just avoid the colon and some other
 special characters that are known to have issues on some operating
 systems. Or move the cleaned up recordings over to the video library and
 thus stay on the suggested and supported path that is known working.

 Sure.  I could do either of those or any number of other things.

 None of that will change the fact that there is a bug lurking, waiting to
 surface for  somebody else some day.

 I'm honestly quite puzzled why there is so much resistance to fix a bug
 when all of the hard work of finding the bug and create a fix for it has
 been done.  I'm puzzled why I am preached at that the MythTV project
 "accepts patches" and when I take the time to write one up and submit it,
 there is no desire to land it.
