hmm, just as a test, try .txt at ext. part....
maybe if it doesn't recognize the extension,it won't try to transcode and let batch run...
and the batch file is like 'exe=reloc.bat' in profile?

if there's no logs, it's never getting run...
maybe a hardcoded thing with dvrms...

[stustunz]

thank you wannabepvr someone else with the same problem
i never got it sorted and gave up using it as half my recordings are dvr-ms

instead i just move bulk recording with explorer then use mpeg import

would prefer not to have to do it this way as pbs tool is great just wont do dvr-ms
i suspect its something to do with dvr-ms files as they cant be streamed either

[pBS]

i think it's hardcoded to transcode anytime it sees a dvrms filename...
[most softs can't do dvrms]

so maybe an item for the wishlist?

Sub, any insight to why it won't run batch file on dvrms?

stu, does it work for mpg on your machine?
if so, it's probably hardcoded for dvrms...

if you look at the batch, it's really simple so nothing in there could have freaked out that bad... [he says with a wink]

[wannabepvr]

i suspect its something to do with dvr-ms files as they cant be streamed either

I wondered why that never worked either !

[pBS]

actually that's unrelated...dvrms stats [length,current pos] can only be read from machine they reside on, so why you can't stream them...

but they can be copied just like any other file...just can't do it while they're being recorded..[just like any other file]
so it's not an inherant limitation...

try it from command line and i bet it works fine..
from gbpvr dir: "third party\reloc.bat" "x:\recpath\dir\file.dvrms" "x:\path\recpath\"
if that works it's definitely hardcoded..

[stustunz]

yes mpeg transfer fine

sorry for been dumb but what am i meant to type i n the command line exactly

[pBS]

for cmd line usage:
1.make current dir gbpvr\
2.run:
"third party\reloc.bat" "z:\path\file.dvrms" "x:\path\to\recordingsroot\"

it must be run this way as that's how gbpvr runs batches,from gbpvr even tho they reside in gbpvr\third party\

first parameter is the source file you wish to move, second is the path to the destination recordings root dir...[don't include show-subdir ]
so if yuo want it to land in "e:\mpg\house\house_112323_1210233.dvrms", then you'd use "e:\mpg\" as destination...batch will re-create \house\ subdir..

When I use this command from the gbpvr directory

It worked perfectly. So unless my confix.xml contains an error then I think we are looking at a problem with DVR-MS files.

Edit: obviously no mpg transcode occurred, this only performed the copy per you batch file.

Also, I did try to use the transcode option in the x-temp.mpg and there was an error that said it was not in the database. True. I think this also support the dvr-ms theory.

[pBS]

aha! need quotes around those destinations...on both...
and in config, it'll get changed to &quot; so you can just put that if you want..
like:
&quot;K:\TV\media-recordings\&quot;
which looks like to config: "K:\TV\media-recordings\" and that's what it'll spit out to batch file...
it was probably exiting due to destination not found...
let me know if that works for you..

[wannabepvr]

Confused now:

I have [html]cmd=" {SOURCE_FILE} K:\TV\media-recordings\ "[/html] with spaces between the quotes and the text.

Your help file give the format as:

[html]cmd=" {SOURCE_FILE} \\home1\g\mpg\ "[/html]Is this not correct?
