Off air recording fails

[chibihdhr]

Has anyone else noticed that recording NCIS: Hawai'i off the air fails?
Error recording to "/Recordings/NCIS: Hawai'i/Season 3/NCIS: Hawai'i S03E05 Serve and Protect.ts"
System.IO.IOException: Invalid argument : '/Recordings/NCIS: Hawai'i/Season 3'
  at System.IO.FileSystem.CreateDirectory(String fullPath)
  at System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(String path)
  at Emby.Server.Implementations.LiveTv.EmbyTV.DirectRecorder.RecordFromDirectStreamProvider(IDirectStreamProvider directStreamProvider, String targetFile, TimeSpan duration, Action onStarted, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
  at Emby.Server.Implementations.LiveTv.EmbyTV.EmbyTV.RecordStream(TimerInfo timer, DateTime recordingEndDate, ActiveRecordingInfo activeRecordingInfo)

I notice that it does not create the folder in /Recordings. All the other shows I have tried, created a folder with the show name and save the files there.

Is the ['] an issue?

Is there any way to filter out the ['] character?

In case anyone asks, this is on:
Version: 10.8.13
Operating System: Linux
Architecture: X64

It is quite possible that the apostrophe is an issue since in the "Invalid argument" line it is using single quotes around the path so the apostrophe in the show name is breaking that.

AFAIK, there is no way to change this particular behavior. But I also don't have a lot of experience with the live TV side of Jellyfin.

I found this ticket for a similar issue and the root cause may be the same.

If you're up for the task, would you mind setting up Docker and running Jellyfin unstable? To see if this problem still exists in 10.9?

Thanks.

I will look into the 10.9 branch. Could be a while though, fairly busy for the next few weeks.

Thank you for the linked issue.

After doing some research and testing, it appears as though the issue is the [:] colon character.
