What I'm trying to do is to make a samba network share to /video folder to watch recordings from windows PCs. Everything works, BUT... Many EPG titles from my provider contain double quotes, so recordings look like "TITLE_IN_RUSSIAN" . When file names countains " , samba converts this to something like _324CDE35 , so share contains unreadable directory names. I haven't found any way to force samba to deal with double quotes, so looking now for any way to force VDR to remove double quotes from recording names.
One obvious way is to make a shell script that removes ", but in this case it's not clear when to execute it, I mean how to know that recording finished. Any other ideas how to walk around this issue?

VDR option --vfat removes special characters from recording file names.

See "Executing commands before and after a recording" in INSTALL. Though I guess --vfat is probably enough for you.
