Yes I do have whitespace set in my preferences, as does the OP and
several other people I've seen querying the 'problem' in this mailing
list in the past.
>From a scan of all the available programs, it does look as if most of
the ones that have the series number in the title have a colon in the
filename which is a hell of a lot of them (449 out of 1089 programs in
the current TV list)!
So would it be an idea to mention in the help about --whitespace that
you will probably need --fatfilename too? For that matter, is there any
reason why --fatfilename can't be used as a default setting, or would
that cause problems for Linux users?
