Tvheadend

Hi,

the forum elders told me, I shall create this as a bug here. It is this [[https://tvheadend.org/boards/4/topics/15207]] topic.

With HTS Tvheadend 3.9.2407~gabea248, I have a very strange file naming issue. While with the "record program" recording of one single movie all is fine, the problem only occurs when I use the auto recording feature. (3.9.2407~gabea248 was not self compiled, but installed via apt-get on xubuntu 14.04.1 LTS)

issue:
I would expect f.i. to get the File 'Kommissar-Beck---Die-neuen-Fälle.E05.Das-Monster.mkv' in the Folder '/media/usb220black/DVBT/Krimis/Komissar_Beck/', as defined in the DVR autorec Entry (see details below).
The Help Button text says: "Directory: When specified, this setting overrides the subdirectory rules specified by the DVR configuration and puts all recordings done by this entry into the specified subdirectory. Useful for e.g. recording multiple different news broadcasts into one common subdirectory called "News". "

But it is not there:

  ls -la /media/usb220black/DVBT/Krimis/Komissar_Beck/
  drwxrwxrwx  2 pi pi 4096 Jan 30 23:12 .
  drwxrwxrwx 21 pi pi 4096 Jan 31 21:52 ..

instead, I found a new, crazy named subfolder with a lot of minus signs, one level up:

  ls -l /media/usb220black/DVBT/Krimis/-media-usb220black-DVBT-Krimis-Komissar_Beck/
  returns:
  drwxrwxrwx  2 hts video       4096 Jan 30 23:33 .
  drwxrwxrwx 21 pi  pi          4096 Jan 31 21:52 ..
  -rw-rw-rw-  1 hts video 1786205085 Jan 31 00:47 Kommissar-Beck---Die-neuen-Fälle.E05.Das-Monster.mkv

So for my eyes, it looks like the filename was creates with the Rule:

• take the global path from assigned profile
• if another directory is specified in the autorec definition, take this + convert all slashes to '-', then append it to the global path
• finally, append the file name

I want to have this rule, at least I would expect the system works this way:

• take the global path from assigned profile
• if another directory is specified in the autorec definition, throw away the global path, take the override path instead
• finally, append the file name

Here are my global recording profiles, for your reference:
