[mythtv-users] mythvideo: Problems with filenames including square brackets [] --retransmission--

[Steven McClintoc]

Hello @ all,


First of all a big SORRY -- my initial post was tagged as SPAM by my ISP
and then forwarded to the list. Please accept my apologies on that.

Next, in general I don't like to repost questions -- but since I can
safely assume that the former post was disposed by a lot of client-side
SPAM-filters I hope you don't mind if I ask my question again?



----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 A few days ago I updated my mythtv (KnopMyth to be precise). When I open
 mythvideo now I find the videos "unsorted" in the list view.

 Well, actually they're not unsorted. They are just not sorted the way
 I'd expect them to be. I've quite a lot of series I recorded from TV and
 I got used to the following syntax for naming them:

 <SERIES_NAME> - [<Season>x<Episode>] - <Name of Episode>.avi


 For some reason everything in between the square brackets is removed.
 Google advised me that this behaviour was intentional in order to be
 able to cut out comments in filenames. Despite the fact that this
 doesn't make much sense to me --- I had the same trouble with an earlier
 release of mythtv (I believe it was 0.19, but I'm not sure).
 But somehow I managed it to disable this
 "filter-out-comments-in-square-bracket" feature in the older release in
 order to get the files displayed and sorted the way I prefer.

 Does anyone know exactly how to disable this or if this isn't possible
 anymore in the recent releases?

 Thanks a lot in advance,


 best regards

   ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us
   and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude	matter. You must
   feel the Force around you; between you, me, the tree, the rock,
   everywhere. Yes, even between the land and the ship.
