Rename Recording

[theredbaron]

I'm just bombarding this thread with newbie questions, aren't i?

For some reason, renamerecording does not work when i drag a file on it. I created a batch file that I could just drag an mpg to (not postprocessing), and i put in:

Code:

renamerecording -t %1 > renamerecording.log

however, nothing happens after the file is dropped on it, and the log doesn't get written to. this is the same line that is in my postprocessing, is there a clear reason why it doesn't work?

I tried from the command line

Code:

renamerecording -t "Drive:\Directory\File.mpg" > renamerecording.log

and it worked. any ideas why it only works when i type in the full path of the file? I'd really like to be able to drag and drop.

EDIT: I seem to have fixed it by typing the full path of renamerecording.exe and .log, and by having [code]cd "Drive:\devnz\gbpvr"[\code] as the first line of the batch

I get the same error as well....?

Well, these errors could happen when you run the "RenameRecording" file outside of the GBPVR directory.

Since I had to change the code to support the new SQLite database, and the DLL to support this is stored in the gbpvr program-directory, the program now needs to be in that position (and / or it needs to be your current working directory).

The only other option you have is to copy this file: "System.Data.SQLite.dll" from the GBPVR directory to the directory where you stored RenameRecording...

On another note, it reads the location of the database out of "config.xml". In the default settings, it is set to ".\GBPVR.db3"; this will also force you to have your GBPVR directory as current dir...

So, easiest thing to do is:
- Put RenameRecording in your GBPVR directory
- Make sure you "cd c:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr"

and it should normally work...

You could also put GPVR on your PATH statement so that it looks for the DLLs in the path.

Hmm.. this is what I have been doing without any luck...

Does it work with 98.8 or no?

is the version in the wiki the latest one, which supports sqllite ?

i have the 0.98.13 version of gbpvr installed and switched my database
to sqllite ...

If an show doesn't have a Subtitle, you'll get that message, and it will keep the original name of the file.

I get the same error; but when I look at the show under the Video Archive plugin, I can see the episode name.

I can't get addepisode to work either...

This is running 99.5, first processed with comskip .79.67, then comclean.

*edit*

oops, maybe confused recording time with episode name...I'll repost if there's a problem....
