I just asked the same question myself on a new thread even after searching. Google does a TERRIBLE job at indexing Gossamer Threads forums.<br><br>I did a search on "mythtv record change name" "change name recording mythtv", wasn't till I tried "rename recording" on the gossamer threads itself to get ahold of the correct info. Tried several combinations of "change" "name" and "recording" in the Wiki also to no effect.

<br>> Sent: 24 September 2006 04:15<br>> To: Discussion about mythtv<br>> Subject: [mythtv-users] Can Myth auto-name MPG recordings with show names?<br>><br>> I'm running MythTV 0.20 with a PVR-150 card. All my recordings are put
<br>> in the /video directory, which right now is full of .mpg files with<br>> filenames like 1004_20060923153001.mpg, etc. I can connect to the box<br>> over CIFS from my Windows box and view the mpg files as videos. My
<br>> question is - Is there a way to make Myth rename these files so they<br>> are more descriptive, like with the show title in the filename or<br>> something?<br>><br>> I understand that this is the way Myth organizes all the files on the
<br>> backend, so it would make sense if they can't be renamed. So<br>> alternately, is it possible for myth to create copies of the files<br>> with a different filename? Say via nuvexport or mytharchive or<br>> something? I hope this isn't too much of a noobish question, I just
<br>> haven't found a straightforward answer to the subject yet. Thanks.<br><br>Hi Matt,<br><br>Check out <a href="http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/205024?#205024">http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/205024?#205024
