Thanks pBS

I figured it would be something along those lines but i'm not too hot on batch files. Thanks for the info, i'll give it a try!

Much apreciated

Could this tool be used to send certain recording to a different location?
i.e if you set 'archive' as a transcode option when you scheduled a recording

Seems promising - I can't wait to try.

The original files are not being removed and I'm not getting an entry in the logfile that they have been removed? error level returned (per the log file) is 0

I added full path to sqlite3 thinking it might be a path thing.

v1.2.9

thoughts?

sure it can...just like any other profile.... but it'll do all recordings..
[transcode button in guide doesn't work at all yet]

but you could include logic to ignore/include certain shows and be selective..
[using %filedir% subdir to check for a certain series, etc.]

try it from command line [from gbpvr dir!]
"third party\reloc.bat" "x:\path\file.mpg" "x:\destpath\"

I updated Simple Archiver with some new features:
1.copies only the movie file you select in video library, + .txt, .srt, .edl files if they exist...

2. now removes original subdir if no movie files found within it.

3. cleaned up the logs and made 2, \third party\archiver.log for workings, and \third party\archived.txt just for list of all completed moves...

i rem'd the delete part so after you confirm it's working for you, remove the rem near bottom to have it delete the original after the copy...
[so if you have an error setting up the profile destination, you won't lose files]
move a few and check the db and file locations, then un 'rem' it and forget it
setup several profiles with different destinations if you wish..

it's fine to hit 'Exit' and going about your business in GBPVR, it'll finish fine without you..
'Stop' may or may not stop the process, depending on what point you stop it..

these instruction should be on the first post i thought i had done something wrong
but makes sense to have this for testing
maybe i missed reading it

seems to work great thanks

just wish there were some way to speed up copying...
shows sure take a while to copy and consume a bit of cpu, but still leaves tv watchable so not a real problem...

if we ever get selective addition to transcoding cue,it could serve as a overnight drive space freer.. which would take the load off completely..

i suppose i could add a check for a placeholder file so as not to move certain dirs so it could be used this way now...just add it as overnight processing profile, and place designated file in dirs you don't want moved and each night the drive would be offloaded automatically while noone was using it...

it copies the file ok but it doesnt seem to change the database and doesnt delete old file
what have i done wrong

[pBS]

what do the logs say?
what do the first few lines of your adjustments in the batch file look like?
have sqlite3.exe in gbpvr\ ?

try it from cmd line...it's kinda tricky, gotta run it from gbpvr\ even tho it's in gbpvr\third party\
[that's the way gbpvr runs all batches, from gbpvr\ dir, no matter where the batch file is]
so like this while sitting at gbpvr\ dir:

Code:

third party\reloc.bat "d:\mpg\show\show.mpg" "\\pvr2\mpg\"

you should see it do it's stuff...[well some of it..rest in logs]

[pBS]

i have a feeling it's the 'attrib' stuff...
had it in there as a double check but isn't working for some people..

delete the first line with attrib in it, the second make look like this:

Code:

) else (echo Copy problem!)

that will take it out of the process...
i think not all machine have attrib in path...

if that works for you then i'll edit the main one...
