Hi Russell,

I use mythlink.pl - https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythlink.pl - which creates 
human readable filenames of recorded episodes in "show_names" directory.

Example:

In my recording directory I have filenames like
11326_20180404132300.ts     11301_20180404181500.ts      

Mythlink.pl creates a subdirectory "show_names" with flienames like
'Fight Club der Tiere.ts'   'Opa wird Papa.ts' which point to the above files.

This is much better than the original filenames created by MythTV in my 
recording directory, but it would be even better if the filenames in the 
recording directory are human readable. I only want the name of the episode, 
nothing else.

So I would like to have in my recording directory 'Fight Club der Tiere.ts'  
and 'Opa wird Papa.ts' instead of 11326_20180404132300.ts and 
11301_20180404181500.ts.

Cheers

Klaus
