Hey Rob,
One thing that I never tried was playing the defective title in mythfrontend. Would be interested to know if it could successfully play the file. Guess it all depends whether it forms it mysql queries based on title alone (never really used mythfrontend, so I'm not sure what it does). Like I said, mysql could not look up the recording based on title, so this is probably one thing that the libcmyth addon will struggle with. Sounds like a mythtv issue to me.... but wanted tsp to confirm/deny!
That's a good point, I didn't try that either. I guess I was more concerned about where the slash came from originally. I've never seen mythtv insert something like that on it's own so I'm guessing the addon did it when trying to escape characters when I set the timer. If it is a self-introduced problem I would imagine this will happen more often as people use only the addon to schedule and play recordings.
I guess one way to test this would be to find a program (that's repeated) in the schedule with an apostrophe in the title. Schedule one showing to record via xbmc and another via mythweb and see what happens..... I'll go scan the schedules and see if anything likely looking is coming up......
