[rtmpdump] Special characters in playlist names.

[bat guano]

Hi
Using Ubuntu Linux I tried to download a video with this command:-
rtmpdump -r "rtmpe://cp3547.edgefcs.net:1935/ondemand?ovpfv=2.1.4" -a "ondemand?ovpfv=2.1.4" -f "LNX 10,1,102,64" -W "http://media.mtvnservices.com/player/release/?v=4.13.0" -p "http://www.cmt.com/videos/aaron-lewis/643964/country-boy-live-from-nashville.jhtml" -C Z: -y "mp4:mtvnshrdstor/_!/mtvi/bands/l/lewis_aaron/cm_country_boy_live_full_512x288_750_m30.mp4" -o cm_country_boy_live_full_512x288_750_m30.flv

But I got an error message:-
bash: !/mtvi/bands/l/lewis_aaron/cm_country_boy_live_full_512x288_750_m30.mp4": event not found

Then I tried again on a Windows machine and it downloaded OK.

It's because ! is a special character in bash.
So I had to put the -y name in 'single quotes' instead of "double quotes".
Then it downloaded OK in Linux.

I won't fall for that again, lol.

But could the rtmpsrv program be modified so that it always used single quotes in playpath names?
Or would it cause other complications?
