Mythvidexport.py does not filter character '/' for file name, resulting in unwanted subfolders

[ben@…]

It's the script by Raymond Wagner at this wiki page: ​https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythvidexport.py

Proposed change, from line 197:

if self.vid[data]:

tmp = (format % self.vid[data]).replace('/','|')

fmt = fmt.replace(tag,tmp)

else:

fmt = fmt.replace(tag,)

Removing the ':' (colon) would be good as well since Mac OS X treats it as a directory separator. I would recommend using something other than the '|' as the replacement.. Perhaps a '-' or '_' ?

These are excellent points, but mythvidexport.py is not actually part of the MythTV code base. Please feel free to update the user-editable wiki page. Thanks!
