Simultaneous recordings fail. Seems recordings that end at the same time just don't work, but I can record 2 (or 3) at a time, and everything works, providing they END at different times.

The error message indicates the source file(s) do not exist. Can you verify that:
F:\The King of Queens\The King of Queens_20081001_14001430.mpg
and
F:\Married With Children\Married With Children_20081001_14001430.mpg

actually exist on disk? Also verify that their create times are BEFORE the rename attempt occurred (ie 2:31pm)

EDIT: Looked at your other post, seems the files should be ok... Could you post your PostProcessing.bat file, and if you have anything in your ParallelProcessing.bat, post that as well.

[reboot]

Yes, they are recorded and play with no errors. The running of comskip generates the comskip log and txt and logo files as well as the .vprj for videoredo.
When the recording ends and the postprocessing.bat starts, is when everything screws up.
Nothing in parallelprocessing any more. Comskip runs thru gbpvr's config, and postprocessing is

Code:

REM the following calls videoredo to edit the file, then renamerecordings.
cscript //nologo "C:\Program Files\VideoReDoPlus\vp.vbs" "%~dpn1.VPrj" "%~dpn1_Cleaned.mpg" /t1 /q
Rem RENAME the old .mpg file and rename the new one to the old name
move "%~dpn1.mpg" "%~dpn1_original.mpg"
move "%~dpn1_cleaned.mpg" "%~dpn1.mpg"
DEL "%~dpn1.vprj"
DEL "%~dpn1.log"
DEL "%~dpn1.txt"

WizRenameRecording.exe "%~f1" "{show}{[-]}{episode}"

This is supposed to leave the renamed recording, and the original recording, intact, with everything else deleted.
Like I said. I can do multiple recordings with no problems, unless they END at the same time (with one minute post padding). That's when both seem to mess up. Wiz doesn't read the database properly, or won't run two of itself at the same time.
If I change one recording to 2 minutes post padding, everything works. I can (via task manager) confirm that comskip is running twice, videoredo is running twice, and wizrename runs twice, simultaneously.

[JavaWiz]

Does the VideoRedo step run successfully?

The WizRenameRecording indicates that the input file does not exist. Can you run it interactively and see if it will rename successfully?

I don't see anything in the script (or the program) that should cause a problem if there are two instances running.

[JavaWiz]

I've added some additional logging to the program. If you can recreate, try this version, then post the log results...

I'm having the same issue with multiple recordings. The partial work-around I'm currently trying-out is introducing a random sleep time into the .bat files. I'll be trying to use "sleep %2m" or "sleep %2s" (%2 = channel number in the GBPVR processing batch files).

Is there code to deal with waiting for a lock in the database if another process has a lock? If I had to guess this is failing due to a failed lock of the database due to another process (other instance of rename) having a lock at the same moment. That being said I haven't looked at the source code or have seen any useful error to indicate this being the problem.

The prior error:

Code:

Parameters:
  [0]: F:\The King of Queens\The King of Queens_20081001_14001430.mpg
  [1]: {show}{[-]}{episode}

ERROR: Source file does not exist.
Complete: 10/1/2008 2:31 PM
Return code: 2

indicates the source file does not exist. It has not gotten to the code that updates the db at that point. That particular code simple does a File.Exists(fileName) call which returns false (no exception).

I'm kind of stumped. If you can reproduce the error with the version attached in prior post, there are additional logging messages that may give some indication as to what is going on.

[reboot]

OK, going to do a dual recording now, and let them finish completely, see what happens with the updated version.

[reboot]

In doing a little more digging on my part, seems my muxer was overdue for an update, so while i was at it, I reloaded gbpvr over top of the existing. All seems well
