Restart recordings.exe

[steeb]

Hi all,

I often get a problem where the GBPVR recording service cannot find a tuner even if it is available. YES I could investigate it but often all it requires is a restart of the GBPVR recording process.

Due to my set up I can reboot the server (in the loft) on an MVP but I don't really need to do this. And this takes 4 minutes approx.

I tried adding the the recording restart as a an extra in the config but it needs an .exe not a .bat.

I have no programming skills, what I want to do is turn the .bat of recording service into an .exe then I can add it to my menu?

Hope that makes sense

I suspect that the wishlist forum wasn't the best place to put this but where else!?

Cheers

Steeb

You can add batch files as custom tasks. When the window pops up to select an executable, type in "*.bat" and hit <Enter>. You can then select and run batch files.

hmm,unless this has changed, you have to run "cmd.exe /c batchfle.bat" instead of the batch file itself..[or at least that's how it has been, if it hasn't changed]

so i just type %comspec% in the executable box and hit enter: that will 'turn into' your path to cmd.exe then add in 'params' line below it, " /c yourbatchfile.bat"

i setup some to change to evr and back, and to run blurays...

Nothing's changed, both methods have worked for a while.
