A new version of addepisode has been released, and can be downloaded from the wiki.
I have just completed a major overhaul of how the utility works, which has added a huge amount of user configuration possibilities, as well as made it easier for me to add more features in the future. I have used a token type of feature, that the user places in the command line, that will add in info like the date, time, show and episode information, in any configuration, to the filename. As usual, only I have tested this utility before releasing it, so i am sure people will find bugs. Feel free to let me know by private message or here on the support thread. Remember: I am an amature programmer, and i do this for a hobby, so be tactful when pointing out how stupid I am in your bug reports!

It would be nice if you could include the version number as part of the file name. I keep an archive of versions for each program I use in case I have to revert. It is also helpful to know if I have already managed to download the particular version and have forgotten. Otherwise I am sure I would be downloading dozens of duplicate copies of your fine utility.

I dont want to add the version into the filename, but i set the version number of the file to be correct. (See it in the file properties window) Also, the wiki has the version number before the download link. Thanks for the suggestion, it was something i have been meaning to do.

Thanks for the suggestion. daphatty Wrote:Does this plug-in have the capability to rename files that are in another format (i.e. PSP format)? hmmm. i can pull info from the id3, but why not pull it from the database? I originally set up addepisode with comskip in mind, so it will rename all files in the same directory that have the same name, regardless of the file extension. If your mp4 is there when addepisode is run, and it has the same name as the mpg, it will get the new name as well. maybe i need a little bit more information: how and when are you doing the mpg to mp4 conversion? does gbpvr do the conversion? is the mp4 placed in the same directory as the mpg? does it have the same filename as the mpg? How would you want to run addepisode on your mp4 files?

I just installed the new version of Add Episode, and had this error box waiting for me when I got back to my computer (I know there was at least one recording that finished while I was away...

This is the line that I have in my postprocessing.bat file: addepisode %1 "{show}{[ - ]}{episode}" if you think you have called addepisode correctly, post the line you have added to the postprocessing.bat file, as it may be a bug.

Maybe I'm missing it, but is there a way to get filenames like:
show-episode except if episode is blank, have the name be show-date ?

The mpeg4 conversion happens at a preset interval based on settings within the GBPVR app. Currently, I have it set to run late at night. Quote:does gbpvr do the conversion? Yes. Quote:is the mp4 placed in the same directory as the mpg? Yes Quote:does it have the same filename as the mpg? Unfortunately no. Up until PSP firmware 2.8 was released, video files were required to use a very specific 8.3 file naminig format. The latest firmware does away with the need for that naming convention however GBPVR still supports the original format. Fortunately, gbpvr embeds the episode data into the file itself so when you load it up on a PSP you will know what you are watching. Now that the new firmware allows for easier file naming, I'd like to start providing my wife with some of her shows to watch on her PSP (i.e. Days of our Lives, Oprah). Altogether, I have several hundred PSP format files that I would eventually like to rename and your tool seems to be a few steps away from doing just that. Quote:How would you want to run addepisode on your mp4 files? Running it as a batch file would suffice since it would only need to be done once per day at most. I currently have a batch file setup to move my PSP movies to an archive drive after every EPG update. I could simply configure the PostEPG.bat file to run this tool after the move is performed. |
