[mythtvnz] DNLA/UPnP server

To fix the filenames, set this up as an hourly cron job

#!/bin/sh
# Pretty up the TV program names into human readable format
# This is just a wrapper script around the mythrename script
# and is used to get the arguments right
# Ensure the environment is set properly
#HOME=/var/lib/mythtv/
#export HOME
#. /etc/profile
su mythuser -c "/usr/bin/mythrename.pl"

I'm not running Ubuntu, so you'll probably have to tweak it.

And in the script you can change the format
This is the one I use:
     $dformat = '%T %- %y%m%d-%H%i %- %cN';

Here's an example of what I get:
