SkipTool creates a bogus file if the name contains &

When I run that from the command prompt, I get this:

I'll create a path similar to yours and try that tonight.

[pastro]

A file with the & in it works fine, a path with an & fails.
I think the error is coming from this line in stattik's script.

IF EXIST %~dpn1.srt SET sub=-sub %~dpn1.srt

I changed it to this and I think it works.

IF EXIST "%~dpn1.srt" SET sub=-sub "%~dpn1.srt"

[mkenyon2]

Looks like that did it, thanks. It's transcoding now, I'll tell you if I have any more issues.

[pastro]

Here's the output:
"C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Third Party\stattik_transcode_0.5.1g.bat" "\\GHZ\VIDEO\TURNER & HOOCH\TURNER & HOOCH_20080627_16301830.MPG" "2" "n" "1"

(Note, I renamed the 5.5 version's filename to 5.1g. Where do I tell it to use the 5.5 filename?)

Didn't see your question here until I reread it..
Look in this file:

C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Plugins\SkipTool\scriptoptions.txt
You should see a line similar to this in the $EXECUTABLE section

Stattik's Bat;C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Third Party\stattik_transcode_0.5.5c-pastro.bat;Stattik Transcode Script

There are three sections separated by semicolons.

The first is the text used on the button in the menu in the queuetool
In this case Stattik's Bat
The second is the command line that will be queued. This is what you need to change to point to the correct bat.

The third is the help text

You can easily add new commands to this file and build up new options by editing the other sections.
Hope that makes sense.

[mkenyon2]

K, trying it:
C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Third Party>echo "C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Thir
d Party\stattik_transcode_0.5.5c.bat" "\\GHZ\VIDEO\ROMANCING THE STONE\ROMANCING

And it's been sitting there for about 10 minutes.

(The note about updated by me just let's me know when I went in and tweaked the directory settings. That's all I did.)

[pastro]

So the only difference is you copied the script that worked over to the original name, and changed the script options?

[mkenyon2]

Yea. You and I had worked on the script a while back, and I got it running.

It's been flakey lately. I'm gonna try a few things. I have to do some digging. It may be time to wipe the OS and re-install.
