I have a comparable problem: PostUpdateEPG.bat just does not fire up. Whether on the planned UpdateEPG time ( 06 am ) nor if i initiate a manual UpdateEPG. My system is Windows 7 64-Bit. The batch file just contains a "xmltvextras.com" which lies within the scripts folder too.
If i remember right, PostUpdateEPG.bat was never started on any npvr version on my system, so that i workarounded it via the taskscheduler.
PostProcessing.bat on the other side is no problem, this one starts without any problem (as i can see in my nrecord.log).
I recently added a new system drive to my PVR, and now it is configured with NPVR located in
E:\Program Files\NPVR.
That all works fine (the Recordings directory, etc set up in "Settings") but PostProcessing.bat never runs.
I've tried it in C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts, as well as in E:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts. The first line of the batch file writes to a log file, which never happens, so it's not a comskip issue.
For quite awhile now I've had an NRecord crash almost every night at 1:30am as it starts two recordings (but sometimes it does work). I had been hoping that maybe by some miracle the new version would solve this, but it has not. These same shows are recorded at other times during the day on the same channels without incident.
It seems that usually if the system was restarted during the day, the crash won't happen the first night; it waits until the second night.
The resulting .ts files for both shows are just a few seconds long, but playable. If I don't record anything at 1:30am, then the crash doesn't occur.
It did occur to me that maybe WMC was trying to take the tuners at 1:30am to do a channel scan, even though I had all it's services disabled, so I uninstalled WMC to no effect.
Just wondering if any of the following would be possible at some point:
1) Could ChannelMapping.tuning be made writeable?
2a) Could the EPG_EVENT table have a colour column added to it, used to store, for example, a #FF0000 style string?
2b) Could you make the TV Guide paint the background for each entry based on that colour?
2c) Not really needed, but would help... could your xmltv reader be updated to read a <Colour> entry that would populate the above if found?
3) Could you get NPVR to ignore plugins that are in a folder starting with (just as an example) an underscore, eg "_System"?
As an aside to the above, have you thought about trying a gradient paint effect to the current red/green colouring in the guide (eg go from dark green in one corner to light green in another)? Might not work (or look that great), but you never know...
