Following a period of successful radio downloads using the PVR front
end, I now find that about half are succeeding and half failing in a
session.
In the case of the failures, an empty file is created with a partial
filename. The previous episode of the failed programme was successfully
I would appreciate any suggestions as to how to diagnose and
correct this behaviour.
It looks as if you may have been hit by the problem of colons (special
characters) in the filename. I suspect you're using the 'whitespace'
option to replace the underscores with spaces in filenames. Under

It looks a colon problem of a different sort, if you'll forgive the

That's the correct value. nameshort just strips out Series XXX

I don't think so. split_title produces the correct programme name.
It's just the shortening that goes awry.

Please take the following as well intentioned criticism.
I am very partially sighted and find that (horrible) pink font almost
impossible to read.
This is why the BBC use a black background for this colour...
That is an important fact I had over looked. I downloaded the Colour
