turkey Wrote:well, it turns out that you found a bug.:o I fixed it and uploaded the new version to the wiki. Before i realized it was a bug, i added in the ability to adjust the day forward or backward in the optional ini file. Try it out, and see if it fixes your problem.works great so far!!! thanks!!

dshoup Wrote:Thanks turkey and HtV. I have added the "start /wait" to commands in postprocessing.bat and it appears to be working fine. For others that may encounter this, here is what my postprocessing.bat now looks: Ok...I lied. My first show worked fine, but other shows are still having the problem. My research on the start /wait command indicates it does not always work. I'm going to try using comskip in parallelprocess.bat and see how that goes. It will take me a couple of days as I now realize I need to record several shows to be sure it is really working before jumping to conclusions (note original message, even with no delay mechanism in postprocess.bat, things did work about 10% of the time). I'll report back once I have some new results.

dshoup Wrote:As for a long-term fix, I don't know if it would be possible to make addepisode.exe first look to see if comskip.exe is running and if so, delay starting? Yes, I thought about this, but what happens if you have back to back recordings, and comskip is running on a different file... I have another option for you: Since you already run comskip after the recording is finished, you could run addepisode on the file before you run comskip, etc. Addepisode will send the new filename back to the batch file for you to use in other utilities. So, postprocessing.bat would be: addepisode %1 "{show}-({yearshort}-{month}-{day})-{episode}-{unique id short}">temp.txt for /f "tokens=*" %%i in (temp.txt) do set new=%%i start /wait comskip -n %new% start /wait comskippad %new% Sorry I didn't think about this earlier.

turkey,
No luck. It dies on the addepisode command. Any other sugggestions? I'll stick with what I have for now, as it is currently working. addepisode %1 "{show}{[ - ]}{episode}">newfilename.txt for /f "tokens=*" %%i in (newfilename.txt) do set new=%%i "C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Third Party\FFmpeg\ffmpeg.exe" -y -i "%new%" -f avi -ab 128 -ac 2 -acodec mp3 -vcodec mpeg4 -b 710k -s 320x240 -vtag DIVX "%new%_" ren "%new%_" *.avi move "%~dp1"*.avi "C:\Videos\Transcoded\"

Any other sugggestions? huh. that command i gave you shouldn't have anything to do with addepsiode, so it shouldn't die there. try this: addepisode %1 "{show}{[ - ]}{episode}">newfilename.txt for /f "tokens=*" %%i in (newfilename.txt) do set new=%%i for /f "tokens=1 delims=." %%i in (newfilename.txt) do set noext=%%i then you can use %new% for the full path and filename with .mpg, and use %noext% for the full path and name without an extension. Maybe i'm just confused, but i'm pretty sure that will work for what you want to do.

turkey Wrote:huh. that command i gave you shouldn't have anything to do with addepsiode I think you're right. I tried invoking the postprocessing.bat file manually, but the newfilename.txt file was empty (I discovered after my post) and presented an i/o error. So I will try your first suggestion again, but while I have your attention, does this look correct (based on your first suggestion)? "C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Third Party\FFmpeg\ffmpeg.exe" -y -i "%new%mpg" -f avi -ab 128 -ac 2 -acodec mp3 -vcodec mpeg4 -b 710k -s 320x240 -vtag DIVX "%new%avi" I want to make sure with the placement of the '.'. Thanks (again!) Andrew

turkey Wrote:Yes, I thought about this, but what happens if you have back to back recordings, and comskip is running on a different file... Ok...I have tried many things, so let me post an update. I have tried using the start /wait command, installing and using the sleep # command, and running comskip from parallelprocessing.bat. All 3 give the same end result--the show disappears from the ready list after addepisode runs. I even tried comskip in parallelprocessing.bat and then inserting sleep 2000 at the beginning of postprocessing.bat (about 30 minutes--long enough for comskip to run and finish even if it had not been started before postprocessing.bat). Therefore, I'm suspicious that the problem is not as simple as addepisode starting before comskip has finished. I also tried your suggestion of running addepisode before comskip, but when I do this comskip fails (show does appear in the ready list as it does if I just run addepisode by itself). I notice the renamerecordings programâs wiki indicates it should always be run after comskip if both programs are being used One new symptom I have noticed is that the comskip files appear not to be getting renamed properly by addepisode. Often, the log file is the one that ends up being renamed *.txt (the file GBPVR looks to for comical info). The original *.txt still exists with the old file name. I donât know if that helps indicate what could be going wrong or not, but though it may be worth mentioning. Any other ideas on what I could try? |
