Bug Description

Some of my recordings have long subtitles.

mythexport creates filenames for these that do not include the recording date and time.

Some examples:
BBC-Radio-4-Bleak_Expectations-Six_part_comedy_Victorian_ad.mp3
BBC-Radio-4-Bleak_Expectations-Comedy_Victorian_adventure_b.mp3
BBC-Radio-4-Just_a_Minute-Comedy_panel_game_chaired_by_Nico.mp3
FIVE-Massive_Speed-Chris_Barrie_examines_the_evolution_of_s.m4v

As these subtitles are generic, these filenames are not unique.

My RSS reader thinks I've already seen these recordings.

Can the filename be shortened in a way that retains the whole date and time?

Thanks for the patch, this already missed 12.04 release, I'll re-visit it for the 12.10 release.

Some of the code around this area changed for the 12.04 release, to fix: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythexport/+bug/688049

So you will need to re-adjust your fix once you upgrade.
