PostUpdateEPG doesn't run

YOU NEED THE CD COMMAND! Please put it in.

Just a quick note...using 'cd' aka 'chdir' isn't always enough if things are on different drives. You also need to change the current working drive. Example pasted directly from my command prompt...

Code:

C:\Program Files\NPVR>cd d:
D:\

C:\Program Files\NPVR>cd d:\npvr

C:\Program Files\NPVR>cd d:
D:\nPVR

C:\Progras\m FileNPVR>

Obviously my command prompt is currently working in 'C:\Program Files\NPVR' and I execute 'cd d:' - doing this queries the working directory for 'd:' (returning 'D:\') but doesn't change the working directory for my command prompt.

I then execute 'cd d:\npvr' to actually change (rather than query) the working directory for 'd:' and then follow this by executing 'cd d:' again which shows that the working directory for 'd:' has indeed changed to 'D:\nPVR'.

Notice, however, that none of this has changed the current working directory of my command prompt - the prompt still shows 'C:\Progras\m FileNPVR>'. This behaviour applies to a batch file as well so changing the working drive is important in order to cope with relative as opposed to absolute paths.

It can get more complex than this but I won't go into further detail.

Cheers,

if you use the "/d" flag then cd will change the drive, too. In your example above, you could use "cd /d d:\npvr" to change to \npvr and the D: drive.

Very true but that's where it gets into the 'more complex' bit that I mentioned. My general approach would be to simply do...

Code:

d:
cd \npvr

...admittedly that does the same as using your '/d' example but it's also possible to do much more complex things using relative paths on different drives and I didn't want to complicate the issue with going into too many details of how things can work. My main point was to keep it simple by having a preceding drive change line above the 'cd' line as I demonstrated a few posts back.

It's entirely possible to never change drive (from a batch file's perspective) but to change working directories on multiple drives and execute commands in a relative fashion rather than using absolute paths....and now I've just complicated things which I didn't intend to do.
