That's always my goal, a 10 ft interface.

I still prefer the CLI approach. I've got two identical headless PVR servers which can each see the other's Recordings dir - depending on which server the NMT/MVPs attach to, it's quite possible that one of the servers might not start NPVR/pvrx2 for weeks at a time. CLI with a switch would let me get the autorecord closer to the EPG load.
Possibly a parameter could be used to alter its operation i.e. /f for forcing a a scan/update and blank to let the CLI decide.

I'm hoping to get a notify from sub when the EPG is finished so I can in turn signal NEWA to run the auto-record.Yep, that would certainly have the advantage of keeping it all inside NPVR... obviously, I'd be happy to help with testing...

jksmurf Wrote:Hi UJB, recently discovered this thanks to ACTCMS from this post but unfortunately for me it doesn't work when I run it.
I put it in C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts with PostUpdateEPG.bat calling NEWA_AutoSearch.exe, but even when I just double click it, it gives me the error attached?

*********** UPDATE ***********
RTFM... "Simply place the programme below in your GBPVR directory and schedule as you like " (Presumably now the NPVR Dir)
I put it in C:\Program Files\NPVR\ instead and changed the path in PostUpdateEPG.bat to C:\Program Files\NPVR\NEWA_AutoSearch.exe ... now seems to work!!
