FileBot

When renaming a newly created PVR recording file, the folder name "The Man from U.N.C.L.E" becomes "THE MA~N". (The file name is created correctly.) I have resolved the issue by using the replaceAll function to remove the periods, resulting in "The Man from UNCLE". However, this is still an issue since the folder already exists WITH the periods, as managed by tinyMediaManager.

Any suggestions on how to get the renaming to work without removing the periods? (running on Ubuntu 14.04 with a file on an NFS mount. TVHeadend successfully created the file on that target with the correct name.)

I've never seen this, and FileBot certainly doesn't enforce weird 8-char DOS filenames.

The filesystem layer must be implicitly doing something strange when FileBot tries to create that folder. You might be able to tweak the NFS settings to allow unicode/long paths.
