mTranscode BETA - automatic encoding of recordings

[jam_zhou]

I believe the script will go through the entire log file and pick out all those that fit the criteria. The only way the script ends is when it reaches the end of the log file.

Remember though to delete the log after the new names have been parsed or else you'll be encoding the same files over again.

As for the directory tree, it should only be a few lines difference, but I'll have to do some verifying. Give me a couple of days.

It seems to work.
The log contains lines such as, "File 'D:\Folder Name\File Name.mpg' has already been renamed" and this makes no difference to the script. It simply finds the right file, and does it's thing, as verified by mtranscode.log

New problem
KingArgyle has just released renamerecordings that includes showname and episodename...something I've been wanting for a very long time.
The trouble is, the renamerecordings.log generated has a completely different format.
Is it possible to modify getnewname.vbs to parse this new log?
Here's a log example

Code:

Argument: -t
Path: D:\Bad Girls\
Title: Bad Girls
GetProgramByDate: 12/17/2005 12:00:00 PM Bad Girls
Retrieving Programs
Retrieved 4
ReturnValue: GBPVR.Public.Programme
New Filename: D:\Bad Girls\Bad Girls - Drug Wars.mpg
New Comskip Filename: D:\Bad Girls\Bad Girls - Drug Wars.txt

Here it is...it looks for ".mpg" AND "ew Filename"

Hi Reboot,

Set USEEXTDIR=2 and it will now put the files in their respective folders.

e.g. EXTDIR=.\transcodedmovies
mpeg file= c:\move one\junk two\movie1.mpg

will be moved to .\transcodedmovies\movie one\junk two\movie1.avi

Try it out and see...it worked for one of my test cases.

Finally! Everything works (almost) perfectly!
Your scripts do exactly what's needed.
I have the odd error with renamerecordings, and KingArgyle is working on it for us.
Quick rundown:
Comskip runs parallel.
Videoredo cuts.
Renamerecordings renames, including showname and episode name.
Getnewname.vbs parses the renamerecordings.log and gets the name successfully.
mTranscode_0p0p3.vbs transcodes the file, and puts it into my other folder, in a subfolder using showname, and inside that is my renamed file, including showname and episodename.
It's a bit redundant, but it works smoothly behind the scenes, just like we've all been waiting for!
I can't thank you enough for putting this all together.

I've added a couple of lines in my .bat, to delete the original show's folder and contents, to save space, so now I'm left with the much smaller avi, with no visible degradation in quality, and can set it and forget it.
I'm now implementing this on all the computers in the house.
My daughter says, "I love you!" :eek:

Isn't this great! These guys put in the time to help everyone else out. I do feel that this is a must have for gbpvr.

So what lines have you added to your .bat to delete the extra files? assuming you delete them to save space.

Thanks.

I have my recordings all on a separate drive, so I simply delete everything on that drive.

Code:

IF EXIST "%~dpn1*.*" DEL "%~dpn1*.*" /y

Replace the *.* with extentions, if you only want to delete certain things.
eg. Delete only the mpg

Code:

IF EXIST "%~dpn1*.mpg" DEL "%~dpn1*.mpg" /y

eg. Delete only the original mpg

Code:

IF EXIST "%~dpn1_original.mpg" DEL "%~dpn1_original.mpg" /y

So, I got the automatic cutting, renaming, & coverting to xvid working perfectly.

Then I started playing with the MVP & the GBPVR client & even though i've read about it, seeing what you can do is just really neat.

Untill I tried to watch one of my tv show recordings & the MVP locked up & I realised it was because they were converted to .avi. D'oh! :o

reboot-
I had to reinstall everything and now am at a loss as to which one's are compatible.
I know you had it all working like a charm.

Which version of KingArgyle's renamerecording are you using?
RenameRecording v1.1 build20051223?

Are you using jam_zhou's getnewname script?
do you know which version of getnewname.vbs?

Thanks. I had to reinstall everything and now am at a loss as to which one's are compatible.

comskip, cmoclean, rename - t, then need the new name via getnewname.vbs to dump it into another folder.

Thanks.
