when you say the host name may be weird, do you mean the name of the xbox or the mythtv backend? also, could you please explain what you mean by fixing the backend to stamp with the correct host name. i don't understand what gets "stamped". the nuv files don't have any hostname info in them. do you mean the "hostname" column in the recorded table? perhaps this is the problem as its value is "elm.edwards.home" whereas the smb:// string i used has the ip address rather than the hostname. does the smb:// string _have_ to include whatever's in that column?
