4177	Streaming in mythweb doesn't work for files with special characters	anonymous	xris	"I use contrib/mythrename.pl to rename recordings, this breaks streaming in mythweb if the resultant filename has spaces or other special characters. This is because the invocation of ffmpeg is a simple call to open() which invokes ffmpeg in a shell. Using the 'list form' of open fixes this by invoking ffmpeg direct.

The attached 1-line patch fixes this. This will not affect streaming for people not using mythrename.pl.

Note: my perl (v5.8.8) claims that this list form of perl isn't supported on all platforms, but is supported on all platforms supporting fork and that if you're running a Unix variant you'll be OK. I've only tested this on Linux."	defect	closed	minor	0.21	mythweb	head	medium	fixed			0
