me-tv fails to store recordings in a FAT32 partition

[Marco]

Binary package hint: me-tv

Package: me-tv 1.0.0-1ubuntu1
PackageArchitecture: i386
Uname: Linux 2.6.31-15-generic i686
Architecture: i386
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10

me-tv appends date and time to the filename of the recorded video. The presence of the colon character in the timestamp is a problem if the file is stored in a fat32 partition. In this case, me-tv gives a "invalid argument" error message.

Even if I am *not* a glibc/c++ expert programmer, I've modified a little the code of me-tv so that any ":" would be changed to "_".
My patch is in the attachment.

Thanks Moire, I like the simplicity of your solution and have made it a configurable option in the preferences dialog. Right now, this is targeted for Me TV 1.1.0 due for release 1-1-2010.
