That doesn't seem to happen in all cases. I had a similar problem when
I upgraded to r7600 in that recorded.basename was empty for all of my
recent recordings. Older recordings were fine. I thought it must have
been something in my setup as I've done a couple of svn upgrades in a
row and maybe I caught parts of different changes but not all of any.
Anyway, to the original poster, if you're handy with sql you can fix
this programmatically using something like:
update recorded
set basename = chanid _ starttime _ endtime .nuv
where basename = '';
I don't have the syntax for the time formatting function handy right
now. Also, as I recall basename was empty but not null for the problem
recordings.
