I tried to save a lot of TV shows, most of them didn't have any special carracters in their name. And yes, I tried to change the directory several times, created new ones, checked the permissions (everyone, including guests, has the right to access, red and write), tried it on ext3 and ntfs file systems. Pretty strange.
