Confirm Long File Name Bug in Player Object

[Sivakatirswami]

So, we are stuck... mmm. I guess i'll have to implement a work around  
to preserve the long file names in some custom prop, field or global,  
truncate the file name on disk...  reset the player to the truncated  
file name... all on the  fly, when the transcriber finishes work,  
restore the file to it's original name.. export the matching .xml  
file (of the transcript and metadata from the discourse) with the  
long name... all doable, wish me luck!

but, ideally this gets fixed on tonite's build and the next patch  
release that is issued every 72 hours on a cron...
