Rename Recording

Now catches any exceptions. This should keep it from locking up, until a response is given.

Can you tell me where I can find the GBPVR PostProcessing.bat file to insert the string you mentioned. I am using version 90 of GBPVR and don't find that file in the directory. It is probably right under my nose......

[KingArgyle]

Actually, GBPVR doesn't come with the file initially. You can create it using Notepad, and put it in the GBPVR root directory.

Just add:

RenameRecording.exe %1 > rename.log

Save the file as: PostProcessing.bat

KingArgyle: Great little util! I'm just having some trouble deciding when to use it. If I run it from the command line or after the comskip.exe in PostProcessing.bat, the comskip gets orphaned. If I run it before comskip, then of course it %1 that is passed to comskip no longer exists and it fails.

Any suggestions on how to get around this? Any way to take the comskip file into account during the renaming?

[KingArgyle]

I'll see if I can get some time to work on getting a comskip work around. I don't use it myself because I find it doesn't work well enough for my tastes. Anyway, next update should have the ability to rename the comskip txt files to the same format. Probably with something like:

renamerecording -comskip %1 > rename.log

You would then put in the PostProcessing.bat file, the comskip.exe before RenameRecording so that it'll pick up the comskip files as well. May be a day or two before I get to it.

[KingArgyle]

Okay, here is a quick update for those using Comskip. I haven't really tested this but it should work. Basically, you need to edit your PostProcessing.bat so that it looks something like this:

comskip %1
RenameRecording %1 > rename.log

And use the RenameRecording.exe that is attached to this message. It will first rename your recording, and then if it finds the txt file produced by comskip it'll try and rename that as well.

You should see something in the log like:

New Comskip Filename:.....

If it doesn't work let me know.

This is very interesting to me, but I don't want to lose comskip. Some shows it works perfectly, and if it doesn't it is still better than nothing.

What I am concerned about is, will running comskip in the postprocessing.bat cause it to run twice? Since it runs automatically without it being in postprocessing.bat?

[KingArgyle]

Comskip doesn't currently run if the PostProcessing.bat file exists. So the only way to get it to run is to place it in the PostProcessing.bat file. At least that is my understanding from a message Sub posted one time.

Correct - comskip doesn't run if the PostProcessing.bat file exists.

Oh, thanks! I'll have to check then. I might have messed up some of my recordings, and have to run comskip on them.
