First of all, my apologies if this is not the correct place to post this question. I have been using GB-PVR for some time, but never did any customization beyond the addition of simple, straightforward plugins. What I am wanting to do now is beyond my limited understanding, though I think it very likely that it is possible, given other users comments and questions.
First, let me describe my scenerio. I have a WinXP system running GB-PVR without any problems. I have other systems in my home running XP and MacOSX. With the recent addition of automatic transcoding of recordings, I thought it would be ever so convenient if I could share files to my other systems in a relatively elegant way. My inclination is to use iTunes Sharing to accomplish this, as the current version supports video sharing of MP4 files.
So, I can follow simple checkbox instructions in the Config.exe application to tell it to auto-generate MP4 versions of my recordings using the Video Ipod option. What I want to do is give these files more human readable filenames (i.e. Program - Episode Name.mp4). I then want to use the freeware application "iTunes Library Updater" (http://itlu.ownz.ch/) to recursively look through my Recordings folder for MP4 files not already listed in iTunes. This can be done by passing the following command line command:
"Program Files"\"iTunes Library Updater"\itluconsole.exe /a /r /e:".mp4" F:\Recordings\
What I don't know is whether a Postprocessor.bat file which I have seen much mention of is the place to do this, or if there is some better way to accomplish my goal. I would really like to have programs appear automatically as soon as they are transcoded, as opposed to setting a system task which runs the above command X times per day, etc.
Any ideas, or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
