Rename Recording

[leecole]

Like many others, I need to use PostProcess,bat, but I also wish to rename the recording to include Episode. I would like to propose a way to return the new recording name back to the PostProcess.bat.
In your addepisode.au3, if you change the recording name:
FileWriteLine(@ScriptDir & "\NewFileName.bat","Set new=" & $NewFileName)

then in PostProcess.bat an example:
@echo off
set new=%1
addepisode.exe %1 "{show}{[-(]}{episode}{[)]}-{monthnameshort}-{day}-{yearshort}"
if EXIST NewFileName.bat goto OK
goto nonew
:ok <= This should read: Colon followed by ok
call NewFileName.bat
del NewFileName.bat
:nonew
"D:\Program Files\AutoXvid\AutoXvid.exe" %new%

If your program creates the NewFileName.bat, my program gets the new name.

after recording the programs show up under Manage Recordings in EWA but once the postprocessing batch runs and the program is renamed, it is removed from Manage Recordings. i assume because EWA is referencing the files original name and once it is renamed, EWA thinks it is deleted. the only think in my postprocessing.bat is:

call comcut %1
RenameRecording.exe -t %1 >>rename.log
:eof

I've posted this before but no resolution. i've since rebuilt my pvr from scratch and the same problem occurs. hoping someone will have a solution.

thanks

your problem is that gbpvr is removing the recording from your recordings folder becuase it can no longer find the file. this is probably because renamerecording failed to update the database with the new file name.

ewa reads the recordings from the database.

the question is : why was renamerecordings unable to update the file name in the database?

[adam714]

well that's one step closer. can you suggest where i should look?

[gEd]

i think renamerecordings may not be working properly with the latest gbpvr database.

I use addepisode whcih does the same thing but with more options. works fine for me with 1.0.6

Hi,

Could you post youre "rename.log" so I can see what's going on?? As far a I know, it should work fine with the latest version (haven't heard anything to the contrary).

switched to addepisode, took out RenameRecording.exe -t %1 >>rename.log and added addepisode %1 "{show} - {episode} same exact problem. i don't get it at all.

[gEd]

what about this (from the wiki)

Note to comskip users. Please make sure that if using version 0.79 or greater of comskip, that your comskip.ini has the delete_logo_file option set to 1 and not zero. This file must be deleted before RenameRecording runs otherwise you will run into problems.

if that doesn;t work, try commenting out "call comcut" and see what happens. if that cures it, download a "sleep" utility and add sleep 5 after call comcut

[adam714]

ok, i'll try that and post results. thanks very much
