Inaccessible directory created for Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Added by Mark Parker about 10 years ago
I set up TVH to record Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I have it recording to a samba-mounted remote share. This worked, and it apparently recorded it, I can play it from the web UI, but the folder is completely inaccessible from any Windows machine, including the machine on which it is hosted.
What's the deal?
Also, since I set up the anonymous user, it's now impossible to log in as the admin user and change any settings. How might I go about fixing this?

I believe its the "." after "D" at the end of the folder name that's causing the problem in Windows. Connect to your Tvheadend machine and rename the folder in the samba mounted share.
I've had similar problems in the past. I have created a separate DVR configuration that doesn't Make Subdirectories per title . Now I simply select that DVR configuration when recording programs with a "." at the end of title.

If you're using an older version of tvh & not a recent git revision the only way you can log in as a privileged user is by using the http://user:pass@ip scheme which is slowly becoming unsupported by most browsers except Firefox I think.
The latest git master now has an option to login & out, you could give that a test to see if it works for you.

I am having this same problem and have used a similar solution. Has anyone come up with a way to get TVH to successfully create the directory? It is a perfectly valid directory name that is successfully created by manual means in a variety of locations, both local and remote.
