Record All Episodes fails for program names containg an apostrophe

[smiffypr]

Record all episodes doesn't work for some titles, it appears to be ones containing an apostrophe.
Sequence of actions:
Start NPVR, "TV guide", select program "What's Really In Our Food", "record", "recording type: Record All Episodes, All Channel", "OK", program still green. It doesn't show up in pending recordings but does show up in recurring recordings.
If I repeat but set "recording type: Record Season", it works fine.

Log file showing error attached.

This was a bug that was pointed out a few weeks ago and it's fixed for the next release.

From memory it only happens when you use the 'Record All Episodes, All Channels' option.

Please could you also fix the bug where an EPG program listing has characters that are invalid. as in :-
2011-06-04 18:28:04.324 [DEBUG][7] Started recording (3374:\Recorded TV\The Lord of the Rings..\The Lord of the Rings.._20110604_18302215.ts)
2011-06-04 18:28:04.540 [DEBUG][7] Invalid file passed to StartParallelProcessing(): 'D:\Recorded TV\The Lord of the Rings..\The Lord of the Rings.._20110604_18302215.ts'


P.S. more invalid character problems- face icon not intended!

Did you have the patch from the thread mentioned above. As far as I know, this problem should be fixed.

My nshared.dll is from 3 june, after this patch

Is this a pre-release? If so, please keep any discussion in the pre-release forum.

Fixed in NPVR 2.1.4
