NPVR: Save a corresponding XML file with the recording

[peter_h]

I want to transcode the recordings of NPVR with an external conversion processor that I'm developing (to queue and distribute jobs to Handbrake nodes), and I'd like access to more info about the recording, such as channel, episode description, start of recording time (to the second), interlaced/progressive, size, etc.

It would be great if, like MediaPortal, if NPVR could have an option to save whatever recording info is available to a similarly-named XML file. This would allow me to incorporate more parameters to be used by the "rules" for my conversion/renaming/archiving processor.

Thanks

If you recording is c:\videos\test.ts, then you can do what your want with:

copy "c:\videos\test.ts:metadata.xml" "c:\videos\test.xml"

You could place some command like that in a PostProcessing.bat to do it automatically with each recording.

To see this metadata, you can do something like:

notepad.exe "c:\videos\test.ts:metadata.xml"
