It would be nice to have an option in NPVR to rename a completed recording's filename.

I have a program that automatically looks at the database, copies a recording to another computer where Handbrake converts from .TS to take up less space then copies it back and deletes the original.

This normally works great, but now that I am using the feature that adds the episode title to the filename there are occasionally some special characters or punctuation that make the filecopy functions fail, such as a question mark which gets interpreted as a wildcard. A lot of Hawaii Five-0 episodes also have accented characters that seem to have issues.

When I see such a problem, it would be very convenient to be able to just use the NPVR menu to select an option to edit the filename so that the database gets properly updated as well.

Other times this might be useful is for shows such as the news where you might want to add your own note to the filename that lets you know there was something in that recording that you wanted to keep. For that matter it might also be nice to be able to edit the long description of the episode. Sometimes stations make last minute changes to air a special when a celebrity dies, but the guide data does not get updated.

Thanks
