Well, I plugged my n900 via usb and then I chose mass storage, I navigated to where the video is and renamed it to "bla bla", unplugged the device and went to media player on the n900 and the video is still "youtube - bla bla bla bla" so then I cleared the media player cache using xterminal and the video is still name youtube - bla bla bla bla...
How do you "clear the media player cache using xterminal"?

As someone wrote, the command to rename things is "mv". If you're already using an XTerminal, cd to the directory with the file and use that command. Stop the media player before doing that. If the media player still lists the files in the directory with the wrong name, something is very special.
