PostProcessing and Comskip

[vintdiesel]

I think the next issue I'm running into is a permissions one, where the NPVR files are outputting with permissions that won't allow for the files to be modified in the directory. Is there a NPVR setting I could change or would it be possible for me to add a line into my PostProcessing.sh to change the directory permissions? Not sure what the best practice is. Thanks for you help!

I had the same problem, so I did this in ParallelProcessing.sh:

#!/bin/bash
# --------------------------
# ParallelProcessing.sh
# D.Little
# Verson 100 - 1st Linux shell translation
# dated 09/08/2019
# --------------------------

echo _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ >>/config/logs/processing.log
echo $(date "+%d/%m/%Y %T") - $3 - Recording started on $1 recorded channel $2 on tuner $4 >>/config/logs/processing.log

#Make work directory writable from any PC so files can be copied, written to etc.
workdir=$(dirname "$1")
chmod 777 "$workdir"

# End of script
exit 0

This allows me to manipulate recordings from my windows based PCs.

I got mine working even simpler! I finally found comcut.

Code:

cd /opt/autoedit
bash ./comcut.sh "$1"
mv "$1" /mnt/tv3/finished

now I am trying to delete the leftover dirs. I use Medusa to rename and move the files from the finished dir

Figured it out for myself, just added

Code:

workdir=$(dirname "#1")
rm -r -f "$workdir"

Here is mine, it is very straight forward.

nice -n 19 comskip --ini=/home/martin/Comskip/comskip.ini "$1" > /dev/null

- I run nice so the CPU doesn't get hogged
- My comskip points to  my donator ini file
- Don't forget make install on comskip after the build to get it into the path

I think I got this to work. Going to test this, tonight with scheduled recordings.  The Raspberry Pi 4 was definitely maxing out with recording 2 shows, comskip running live to on another computer.

Going to also check the FPS on the comskip files and see what this setting does to it. I'm assuming that this will make comskip run longer now.
