what i was suggesting is fully automated.. and much less automation needed even..
a one and done type thing...
i just figured that since they accomplish same thing, albeit in different ways, that they should be combined into one with a choice of method...
like a cmd line switch for recswap to operate in that mode, or none to archive by default..

to do the switch method, just lookup rec dir in config.xml and change it when space is low..
restart rec service...
done...
could use same destination lists, space free sensing, etc.

how does yours deal wih the "é" amd other such glyphs?
seems in the database it's stored differently than one would expect..
mine has "é" in database...??!? 2 chars instead of 1..plus it's an e not an A..

not sure where it got that translation from...
dos handles the filename fine, it's sqlite that doesn't..

Sub, is there a translation table for this sort of stuff? i haven't seen one and this doesn't look like any of the translations i've ever seen..

That Unicode, you probably are used to seeing ISO 8859-1 Latin characters.

Hi pBS,

I had a problem recording directly to a NAS device and you recommended that I record to the PC, then use SimpleArchiver to copy the recordings to the NAS. I want to do this once per night, preferably in the postupdateepg.bat file which runs at 2:00 AM. Since there may be multiple recordings each night, can you tell me if it is possible to copy all recordings with a single invocation of your batch file? Is so, can you tell me the syntax? If you specify the main Recordings directory does it search through the entire directory for all recordings? Thanks for your help.

[pBS]

well, you could put a cmd in postproc that loads each file into a batch cue that can be run later in postepg....

like this in postprocessing.bat
echo "third party\reloc.bat" %1 e:\destination >>transcue.bat
[replace e:\destination with nas dir]

then you'll have a bunch of single lines in transcue.bat, one for each recording that's been done... just add that to posteupdateepg.bat
[be sure to only 'call' it like: "call transcue.bat" or it'll end current batch to run it]

so in postupdateepg.bat:
echo del %0 >>transcue.bat
call transcue.bat

[first line adds delete to transcue.bat to delete itself after all done]

then it should accomplish your task without any modification of original..

if you record a lot in a day then may have to make the cue 'smart' so it'll only remove each file when it's done, so if it doesn't finish before next day it'll be ok to add again to it..let me know if you think it'll be a problem..

Having a little problem with SSA, files are being copied but the dB isn't being updated.

From archiver.txt:

Code:

Sat 03/20/2010  3:18:34.67 Copied "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon_20100320_00370136.ts"  to  \\192.168.1.2\Recordings\Late Night With Jimmy Fallon\Late Night With Jimmy Fallon_20100320_00370136.ts

and from archiver.log:

Code:

*********
original - D:\Recordings\Late Night With Jimmy Fallon\Late Night With Jimmy Fallon_20100320_00370136.ts
Subdir is Late Night With Jimmy Fallon\
sqlite Found oid - 877
        0 file(s) copied.

Any idea what's going on and how I could fix it? This used to work.

sorry, hadn't seen this earlier...
it looks like it didn't copy file for some reason..
it checks to see if file copied before adjusting, if for any reason it doesn't, it won't adjust db..
usually in logs it says what happened to the copy operation...

[Torquewrench]

What log should I be looking at?

Thanks,

Phil/TW

[pBS]

look in gbpvr\third party\archiver.log and archived.txt as i see you've posted already..
it may have been something simple as destination full or couldn't find destination dir..
using latest ver? i added .ts late in the game..

you can run it from command line also to see any dos errors..[which should give away why it's not accepting the copy as good]

How about porting SuperSimpleArchiver to NPVR?
