imageGrabLite 1.2

[coworker23]

O.k, I was headed down that road... I have added the appropriate commands in the batch file.

I have records shows already in my video directory. Will it process those, or only process new recordings?

During normal NextPVR batch processing this value is passed in parameter 3, hence use of "--oid %3" in the batch file examples below.

When does the batch process start? I tried to run the batch file manually, and of course, it provided the same error.

I think I am making progress here. I have added some of the options to UpdateEPG.bat/PostUpdateEPG.bat, that seemed to download the images as required.
I have added "C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR\imageGrabLite.exe" --oid %3 --nfo within the ParallelProcessing.bat, and I see .nfo files being processed.

The thing I am really after here is the renaming. I want to utilize Plex and it will only read video files with the proper naming convention. I think I am missing how PostProcessing.bat works and how to kick it off.

Just put the imagegrablite command in PostProcessing.bat, and use the --rename parameter instead of the --nfo parameter. Don't bother with the --nfo command in ParallelProcessing.bat, since the .nfo file will be removed by the --rename function.

PostProcessing.bat is called by NRecord at the conclusion of a recording. Otherwise it operates exactly the same way as ParallelProcessing.bat, and uses all the same parameters.

To generate a script to rename your existing recordings, refer to post #6: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post447167

Thank you,

To confirm,

I have

Parallel Processing:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR\imageGrabLite.exe" --oid %3

Post Processing:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR\imageGrabLite.exe" --oid %3 --rename

If I start to record a show, then cancel the recording, will that kick off PostProcessing.bat? If so, should I expect The Trisha Goddard Show_20131004_14001500.ts (just the first thing I clicked, don't laugh, lol) be changed to Series.S##E##.Episode?

No the current version of NextPVR doesn't do anything on cancel. However you should have a log file name imageGrabLite.log created in parallel processing that would tell you what it would do. It also has the numeric value to us in a command line.

no, canceled recordings don't get a postprocessing.bat run. you'll have to let the recording finish naturally. the next version of NPVR will call a PostCancel.bat.

Aww, ok. This might be where I am confused. Thank you. I will see how that goes.

Thanks for everyones time on this. I am going to Singapore for work and just installed a HDHomeRun and want to Plex encode to the hotel so I have something to see while I am there. I can manually change the names to view, but, as most people, are lazy. lol

One last thing, which I can post on the other thread if you prefer, but I completed the iglall.sql, and it did run through 3 oids, I checked the folders and they do have new files in the folder (tvshow.nfo and (<showname>.nfo), but it doesn't change the filename of the video to Series.S##E##.Episode. Am I missing something?

[coworker23]

......." It also has the numeric value to us in a command line." Nevermind, let me try that. Sorry. Too much caffeine today.

[mvallevand]

Not all shows have series/episode info on thetvdb Movies are renamed differently from themoviedb.org as Name (Year) although you might need the next version of igl if the older API has been turned off.

Again the logs explain more about what is done and why.

You guys are awesome... thank you.

Just to summarize.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR\imageGrabLite.exe" --oid % --rename is not meant to be run manually. Placing it in one of the batch files is the proper way to deploy.

Those batch files are referenced here:

Suggestions are outlined here

PostProcessing only happens when a full record has been completed, you cannot kick it off manually.

You can utilize the suggestion here to create .nfo files for shows already recorded:

After running through the sqlite command, it creates a .bat file. That .bat file displays the proper oid which you can use to manually run imageGrabLite.exe to run the --rename to rename the older folders.

I think we are good to go!
