Since 1.10 RC2 all new recordings have the filename "unknown_xx". Additionally the preview pictures shown are sometimes related to a different recording.

Anyone else see this behavour?
Any ideas what could be wrong?

Thanks

Yes, mine did exactly the same thing some time ago. It had lost the recording filename mask in the TVServer setup.

In the TVServer setup, go to the "Recording" section, then click on the "Custom Paths and Filenames" tab. When mine went wrong, the "Format" field was empty. Put what you want in there from the list (I have set mine to %title% - %channel% - %date% - %start%). Any new recordings will then have the correct names. I tried to find an easy way of renaming all the "unknown" ones (the xml file has the correct information, so it would be possible to extract it from there), but eventually they had all been watched and deleted anyway.

EDIT: Forgot to mention... that also solved the preview thumbnail problem.

Seems that upgrade to RC2 whiped out these values.
