Hi! All,   
      
   I had a win the other day, with Windows 8.1.  It all started a couple of years   
   ago, with a .MP4 movie.  Some of you may know it: The Long Ships (1964), with   
   Richard Widmark starring in the leading role as a Viking who had found the   
   basis in fact of the myth of an enormous golden bell.   
      
   These days I usually view the movie on my lounge room TV, in full HD. It's   
   handled via a (hardware) media player device, streaming the flick from over   
   the household LAN.  The device accesses the LAN via a UPnP/DLNA server   
   (software) I have running on my Ubuntu PC.   
      
   The media player can't do netbios networking though it can do TCP/IP, to   
   browse EwwToob for example.  It's supposed to be able to do Windows shares but   
   it can't/won't.  Like all fancy media-related doovers these days, the DLNA   
   server likes to maintain an index of accessible media which is regularly   
   re-indexed at some arbitrary interval.   
      
   Anyhow... at some time some years back I must have had a need to rename the   
   file, using possibly DOS or maybe a Linux file management tool.  The renaming   
   worked but screwed up the DLNA server index, which referred to the movie   
   henceforth as "na".  Yep, it got indexed as na!   
      
   It seemed an insurmountable pain but when I calmed down, I felt comfortable   
   with the knowledge that for all time I would always know the correct movie   
   title.  Oops... this is getting bigger than Ben Hur's script... I'd better   
   wrap it up quick...   
      
   The other day I downloaded another short video from a site other than EwwToob,   
   and its filename in the index revealed some random serial number NOT the   
   filename!  Well, that blew my cool!  I was livid.   
      
   So, I got to poking around with my faithful Total Commander (any file manager   
   would do).  I checked the latest file's "Properties" and found a tab I'd never   
   seen before called: 'Details'.  Wow!  There it was in the 'Title' field: the   
   serial number.  Windows was offering an edit field, so I took the opportunity   
   to null it and clicked the [OK].   
      
   I waited and waited till the DLNA server re-index finally updated. Whoo!hoo!    
   There it was!  A filename!  Not the damned serial number.   
      
   As it turns out, .MP3s are similarly blessed with a Details property. There   
   are probably other file types but I can only devote so much time to playing   
   with *stuff* these days.   
      
   Don't anyone tell me you knew about this already.  Please don't...  :)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
