DVR:Grabber Broken in 1.16.0.1226

Server Version#: 1.16.0.1226
Player Version#: NA

When running a post transcode script after recording any show the Grabber seems to get confused on the directories to be created and files moved. This just started occurring after upgrading to 1.16.0.1226. Here is an example. I recorded a short clip this is displayed first then a snippit of the log where it is trying to copy files. The result is NONE of my DVR Recordings are kept. (.grab) deleted no files moved.

Note: Only the .srt is moved. the converted mp4 and the original .ts are both deleted because somehow “DVR:Grabber Broken” believes that “M A S H (1972) - S11E08 - The Moon Is Not Blue.en.srt” Is part of the directory.

Yeah, this is a known issue and they are (allegedly) working on it. It’s been happening to me since about April. Not much we can do but wait.
