Comment:

 After [23474], mythrename.pl no longer renames recording files (and after
 23475 is called mythlink.pl).  Safely supporting renaming files regardless
 of system and file system configurations with all possible characters that
 may appear in program listings is very difficult, and likely not worth the
 effort as other (safer) options exist.  Users should instead use symlink
 (created with mythlink.pl) or FUSE-based (with
 mythtv/contrib/exports/mythfs.py ) views of recordings files, rather than
 renaming the actual files.

 If you had previously renamed files, you may revert them to default file
 names with: mythlink.pl --rename
