Thanks. This is a little disappointing for such a great program. I've look everywhere MediaPortal has files on my system and cannot even find where the scheduled recording data is kept. I thought it would be in the databases, but it's not there. I've also looked at all the "xml" files but didn't see anything there either. If it was in the databases or an XML file, I was going to edit it by hand.
It would be a nice feature add to allow editing of the name of a manual recording. Still looking!

Hi again Claude
If you're really so desparate as to be modifying the database or file names then...
Which data are you looking for?
If you're looking for the Schedules (ie. to try and set the name *before* the recording) then you need to create a "fake" program in the "program" table. It must:
- reference the correct channel (set "idChannel" column to equal the "idChannel" column in the "channel" table for the channel that you are recording)
- set the "title" column to whatever you want the recording to be called
- set the "endTime" column to be greater than the time that the recording will start
- set the "startTime" column to be less than or equal to the time that the recording will start
That is a little complicated, but you could definitely write a script to do it.
If you're looking for the recordings (ie. to try and set the name *after* the recording) then you can modify the "title" column in the "recording" table in the DB.
Hope that helps!
