Show not recording when title contains \t tab character

[scoobyjam]

Running on Windows 11, latest version, other recordings have been fine.
Love the app - had an issue with a scheduled recording - see log below. Seemed the "name" contained a tab \t and it caused an issue.

    "reason": "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. : 'C:\\Users\\Public\\NPVR-recordings\\Premier League\tLIVE\\Premier League\tLIVE_20250929_01000330.ts'",

Would be great to either have the option to edit the name/filename in webUI of the recording or for these types of characters to be removed before attempting to record.

Extract from the log:

Code:

"recordings": [
  {
    "id": 859,
    "name": "Premier League\tLIVE",
    "desc": "On Super Sunday, Newcastle host Arsenal at St James' Park in the Premier League.",
    "subtitle": "",
    "group": "Premier League\tLIVE",
    "startTime": 1759071600,
    "duration": 9000,
    "firstrun": true,
    "epgEventId": 2026293,
    "status": "failed",
    "size": 0,
    "quality": "QUALITY_DEFAULT",
    "channel": "SKY SPORTS MAIN EVENTS \u2074\u1D4F",
    "channelId": 35702,
    "blue": false,

    "red": false,

    "reason": "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. : 'C:\\Users\\Public\\NPVR-recordings\\Premier League\tLIVE\\Premier League\tLIVE_20250929_01000330.ts'",
    "recurring": false,
    "recurringParent": 0
  },

I don't think the issue is \t as much as a slash which shouldn't be used on Windows except by NextPVR. \temp is an example of what I mean.

thank you for responding - I can't edit the name in the UI so it will always take this slash - is there anyway around this without manual recording or by editing the DB file?

Ideally the app can be updated to remove "\" from names?

Do you know if your source xmltv file has \t or the correct xml no space in this but I couldn't add it

Code:

& #009;

When I open it in a text editor it looks like 
```
    <title lang="en">Lunchtime Live LIVE</title>
```
When i lookup the unicode character between the Live and LIVE it says: U+0009 : <control> CHARACTER TABULATION [TAB] {horizontal tabulation (HT); tab}

Ok thanks that confirms that your issus has nothing to do with a slash although both need conditions need to be handled.
