Sorry for off topic, but I just remembered that I also saw one bug in
MythArchive yesterday. I am using maybe 5 weeks old SVN version and
this bug is maybe already repaired.

When you try to burn files (not recordings or videos from mythvideo),
it will fail when the files have "space" in it the name (two or more
words). I think that mkisofs gives an error. There are probably quotes
missing somewhere, because it is not able to find a file.

I can test it today again if you want and if this is not repaired.

Sorry for off topic one more time.
