I think I messed things up as I got tired of Mythrename.pl randomly working and added the mythrename command to my crontab, and it must have renamed the file while Myth was looking for the default filename? Argh I'm silly. Dunno how to fix this though (other than taking out mythrename command from crontab whcih I just did hehe).<br>
