I had the exact same problem. The only workaround is to get that folder renamed to DOS compatible characters, let comskip run through Wine, and then change the name back again. I had to change the RecordingStarted and RecordingDone scripts to get this to happen. Only good way I could think of getting it done is to store off the Title and Episode into temporary files at the start and go read them back when EyeTV was done. I'm surprised the ETVComskip folks haven't run into this and done a workaround. I actually started doing this down in the MarkCommercials.py file but then decided that it would probably be better to do it as high in the chain of events as possible. BTW, I was also playing around with symbolic links and Wine somehow was getting the original path with the question marks.

Hope this helps some folks out there. With my luck, someone will write back with a much easier solution.:)

		set recordingID to recording id (recordingID as integer)
		
		set originalTitle to title of recordingID
		set originalEpisode to episode of recordingID
		set title of recordingID to unique ID of recordingID
		set episode of recordingID to ""
		
		set theFile to (path to temporary items from user domain as string) & origRecordingID & "- Title"
		open for access file theFile with write permission
		write (originalTitle) to file theFile
		close access file theFile
		
		set theFile to (path to temporary items from user domain as string) & origRecordingID & "- Episode"
		open for access file theFile with write permission
		write (originalEpisode) to file theFile
		close access file theFile
