Question about RecordingStatus.bat

[Yoda3000]

"Called every time a recording is started or finished."

Thats written in the wiki. But is it possible to find out, if the recording is started or stoped? I would like to use the recordingstatus.bat file to send my laptop to standby, when a recording is finished, because otherwise it stays online (Even if i configured windows to go to standby after x minutes).

Or did anyone has another idea for sending the pc manually to standby after a recording is finished?

I believe there’s a couple of standby/shutdown utility’s floating around in the announcements forum and wiki.
One problem with using RecordingStatus is, what happens if you record two shows back to back?
I guess a way to do it (completely untested!) would be using ParallelProcessing.bat, PostProcessing.bat, UpdateEPG.bat & Timeout.exe.
The EPG will not "<edit> automatically" update during a recording, so it’s safe to kill any abandoned recording markers using UpdateEPG.bat.

ParallelProcessing.bat

Code:

REM assuming you’re using comskip, and who isn’t?
CD /d "C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr"
Echo %date% %time% >"%~n1.rec"
Comskip %1
Del "%~n1.rec"

PostProcessing.bat

Code:

CD /d "C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr"
:start
Timeout.exe 20
IF Exist "%~n1.rec" goto start:
IF EXIST "*.rec" goto end:
REM Place your standby command below this line.


:end

UpdateEPG.bat

Code:

CD /d "C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr"
Del "*.rec"
