I am testing recording in Linux, and it appears to record now, but if I apply a Filename (Path) tag change, it seems to never happen. 

I am applying the value /home/muzicman0/Videos/[Series]

But it does not change after recording is finished.

[muzicman0]

anybody have any thoughts?

We can reproduce the issue.  No solution yet.

Thanks.

[muzicman0]

Any updates on this?

[Yaobing]

No.  We are closed for the holidays this week.

Noticed an update installed, so I tried again, but got this error.  didn't get this before:

Code: [Select]

Media Center encountered errors while tagging or moving files. Check that the files exist, are not read-only, and are not in use by other programs.

Tagging error: /home/muzicman0/Videos/Best of the Week 2021-01-10.ts
Assuming it was a quote problem, I changed it to "/home/muzicman0/Videos/[Series]/", but that still didn't work.

[Yaobing]

Thanks for the info.  I still have not gotten a chance to look into this.

Any updates on this?  I did a quick glance through the change log, and didn't see anything.

Good timing.  I was just looking for this thread to post a reply.

Unfortunately the folder separation character '/' is also the escape character in the Expression language.  The Expression language treated the slashes in "/home/muzicman0/Videos/[Series]/" as escapes and stripped them all.

Because of this conflict, you will have to enter double-slashes "//" everywhere you mean to use it as folder separation.

Alternatively I will have to ignore escape character handling.  But I think that would limit your ability to use expressions.

double slashes work fine for me.  As long as I know, it's an easy adjustment.  Thanks for looking into it!
