[vdr] Re: error in recording "Dawson's Creek" (Pro7)

[Thomas Glomann <dromtom@gmx.de>]

i tried to simulate a timer recording containing a  '  in the filename.  So I 
scrolled through all the characters but there is no  '  char!? 

But I now patched the recording.c to :  { '\''  ,   '_' }  . also added the 
line in the #ifdef VFAT environment.
Is that correct ?
Well, next Saturday I will know whethere this works or not. ;)
