Hello, I am building a little video share system for VDR, it copies selected recording directories to a network drive. As some of you can guess, the problem is " : " -character at VDR directory structure. Samba filesystem doesn't accept it. So my question is that why it was chosen in the first place, and can it be changed to " ; " -character. Or any other than not allowed samba characters. Disallowed chars are at least: < > / \ : I don't see any benefit in VDR to be samba-incompatible. Of course why I ask here is instead of just patching my sharing VDRs. Because if new filename format is to be standardized for VDR usage, and probably VDR patch that it will accept both formats (with ";" and ":"). And it would help everyone sharing VDR-files with Windows machines. Best regards, Jori Ps. Or is there some other way round this limitation? I tried samba.conf global option "valid chars=\:" but it didn't help.
