[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1106964, member: 82144"] Well actually "the system" sets the names of the files based on the recording name pattern/format that YOU choose here: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/07_Recording#Custom_paths_and_filenames[/url] So in a roundabout way you DO name the files. Use TV Server configuration to modify the recording name pattern/format mentioned above. Since the %name% (episode name) part seems to be the longest part, try to select a format that doesn't include that part. That may require you to specify a custom format. As far as I'm concerned "the system" is not to blame, and this could have happened any time. All it takes for this problem to occur is for your EPG data for a program that is scheduled to record to have an unusually long title, season number, episode number or episode name. "The system" doesn't control these things. Maybe yes... if they're getting longer episode name data; maybe not... if "The This Old House Hour" just happens to have long episode names sometimes. As above: don't include the episode name in the recording file name pattern/format. [/QUOTE]
