Title:
  File extention gets truncated

Status in “mythexport” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mythexport

  The daemon truncates file names so they fit in the file field of the
  mythexport database's 65 characters limit, providing wider support
  from target platforms like iTunes. The truncation expects file
  extensions to be no more than 4 characters.

  File extensions may be used to differentiate encoding qualities of
  various config to allow more flexibility when viewing the files from a
  local network or from a connection with limited bandwidth.When a
  longer file extension is specified for a show that has a long file
  name, its name gets truncated by the database insert and can not be
  accessed by the RSS or the file management.

  Problem: File name truncation does not take a configuration's file extension length (eg ".H264HQ.m4v")
  Resolution: Truncate the file name to a size that will either consider a config file's extension length or allow more characters to be used. The truncation should also be done on the title+subtitle and not affect a show date time. This will help avoid overwriting existing shows that don't have distinctive title and subtitle per episode.
