Path to file being recorded.

Is there any easy way of finding out (outside of GBPVR) the path / filename of the file that GBPVR is currently recording to?

That question is a bit vague, so hard to give you a good answer. You could look in the RECORDING_SCHEDULE table in the database for a list of in-progress recordings, and their file names. BTW, it could be recording to several files at the same time if you got multiple cards.

how about just write a parallelprocessing.bat that takes the recording filename passed and does whatever you want with it, such as write it into a status file that some other process is looking at, or pass it to your external process, or.....

Thanks both.

I want to access the recording file as it's being recorded. It looks like I can find the install directory from the registry and then find the recordings directory from config.xml. I could then examine the database.

It will probably be a daily recording, so it will change its name from day to day.

If you can find the install directory & run the following:

"sqlite3.exe" -separator " -- " "gbpvr.db3" "SELECT filename from RECORDING_SCHEDULE where (status = '1');"

That will display the filename of anything that is currently being recorded. If you don't switch to the install directory, put the full path in front of sqlite3.exe and gbpvr.db3.

That's great. Many thanks.
