schedule mgp2srt to run at night?

[pbb]

Is there a way to call mgp2srt from gbpvr during the middle of the night and have it process all recordings that don't already have an srt file?

There is nothing built in that would do this automatically.

I didn't know if there would be a way to integrate it into the module that you can configure to process commercials out during the night.

I released a queuing addition to skiptool. Basically you can set up one line files that get queued up to run by a queue manager that can be called by windows scheduler to run whenever you want.
In the post processing.bat you would have to create all of the queue files and write them to the queue. Then they would get picked up by the queue manager and ran whenever you specify.

You would need to create the the queue entries in postprocessing.bat.
Each entry would be called filename.queue and would contain the following: (assuming mpg2srt is in root gbpvr dir)

C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\mpg2srt ; "filename"

The queue would be located at third party/queue.

I think this would work for you, although it seems like a bit of work to get the postprocessing.bat worked out.
My guess is there is likely an easier way!

mpg2srt does crash once in a while too.

if you make a batch file to run the commands, and put that into a custom ffmpeg transcode profile, you can call it from the built-in scheduler to run at night
note: it will run on all recordings if scheduled from the built in one..

can't wait until the individual transcode button works from tv guide..

yep, there was an easier way.

It sounds like what you're describing may be a possibility. Does anyone know where I can get documentation on how to do this?

sorry i lost this thread..
make a batch file that does what you want from command line first...like: mpg2srt %1 (or whatever is req'd)
make sure it works from cmd line with the file as a parameter...[srt.bat d:\mpg\show.mpg]
then make a custom ffmpeg profile like existing ones, but use batch file as exe="srt.bat",
and cmd= " {SOURCE_FILE}" targetExtension=".mov" />
put batch file in gbpvr\third party\ and mpg2srt.exe in gbpvr\
try it from video library transcode buttons, if it works there, then setup scheduler from config to run that new profile on all mpg's....
