[QUOTE="cewillis, post: 808266, member: 106719"] Thanks mm, 'filename too long' sounds like a throw back to DOS days! But it does explain the symptoms observed; same problem analog and qam, no problem with shows before and after. However, I don't know how to ensure the size of the file name, which in this case is: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\recordings\KUATHD\The This Old House Hour 2011-11-05\The This Old House Hour - E1005 - This Old House Bedford Project, Part 5 of 16; Ask This Old House Insulating a Wall; Repointing a Fieldstone Foundation.ts The base directory (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\recordings) is 100 characters, and the rest of it (total >300 characters) seems to be derived from the EPG. Even if I squeeze down the directory name, what's to prevent to EPG info from exceeding 260 characters? For instance, next week's show look like it could be over [B]400[/B] characters!!!!!!!
