ComSkip support for PVR Recordings

[MrKuenning]

Well I added --nfo and its now creating valid nfo files, I guess I am confused why it isn't renaming the files or downloading images.

I am confused why it isn't renaming the files or downloading images.

Do you think that the logs might help with that?

IGL creates logs in the NextPVR logs folder ... do the logs contain anything useful? Attach some IGL logs if that would help.

[mvallevand]

Yes seeing the logs should explain why things. I also recommend --zap2it with EPG data North America that has zap2it unique ids.

It would be worth trying
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR\imageGrabLite.exe" --oid %3 --rename
for a 64 bit windows install

The bat files are run by nrecord as system and may not have the environmental variables set.

I expect that he needed the 32 bit location too. %3 is passed by NRecord so it will be fine.

Its finding the right show and creating NFO files rather than renaming them.
XBMC shows two copies of each show. So for the NFO Wipeout_20130412_17001800.nfo
It shows a show called 201304_12 and one called 17001_800.

Are you watching while recording or running comskip or another step in postprocessing?

It's supposed too when the rename fails

Blame the xbmc devs and read this workaround http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post453709

I have comskip running during Parallel Processing. I have nothing else running during post processing.

[gEd]

so if comskip has not finished before the recording ends, the file will still be open and cannot be renamed.
you will either have develop your batch file/s to handle this situation correctly or perhaps (as a dirty hack) just try adding a sleep command at the start of postprocessing to wait 10mins before renaming the file.

i just put IGL at the end of my parallelprocessing.bat, so it always runs after comskip is finished.

[MrKuenning]

Thanks Johnsonx2 adding it to the parallel processing bat fixed my renaming problem.

I never contemplated this, nice solution.
