having comskip and IGL run together

[tron999]

Well, with your help, and brute force, I believe I have solved the issue. Here's my final batch file:

Code:

set newfile=
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%i in ('"C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR\imageGrabLite.exe" --oid %3 --rename') do

SET newfile=%%i
if not exist "%newfile%" goto end

echo %newfile
echo %newfile%

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

@echo on
cd "C:\comskip"
comskip "%newfile%" > comskip.log

:end

I'd be concerned with the redirect if you have multiple recordings

yes, comskip will fail with that if you have more than one recording finishing at the same time. I wouldn't bother logging comskip's stdout, it creates a log on it's own. if you do want to though, I'd suggest "> %3.log". after that if you really want it all in one log file you can do this:

Code:

type %3.log >> comskip.log
del %3.log

Below is how I have it setup and works fine, tell it to cd/ to the correct path then you execute the commend, this seems to work best when writing bat/cmd files and help you keep it clean and easier for me to trouble shoot as well.

cd /d "c:\comskip"
comskip %1
cd /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR"
imageGrabLite.exe --oid %3 --rename

I'm not sure what redirect you guys were talking about, but you were right. It did fail if two recordings ended at the same time. johnson, I grabbed your batch file to stagger kickoff times by using the channel number, and added that before the comskip call. That solved my problems. I modified it slightly, since I have my channel numbers in the hundreds and thousands to be divided by ten, so I am not waiting all day for something to complete processing. Here's my final final batch file lol.

Code:

set newfile=
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%i in ('"C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR\imageGrabLite.exe" --oid %3 --rename') do SET newfile=%%i
if not exist "%newfile%" goto end

echo %newfile
echo %newfile%

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

@echo on
cd "C:\comskip"
rem comskip "%newfile%" >> comskip.log


echo %date%,%time% - PostProcessing.bat invoked on %1 recorded from channel %2 >>processing.log
set num1=%2 / 10
rem need to add a pause to avoid race conditions
echo --- sleeping %num1% seconds to avoid simultaneous execution >>processing.log

timeout "num1"

rem check how many comskips are running; if 2 or more are running wait 1 minute and check again
rem the third parameter passed in npvr 1.5.36 and later is a unique recording oid number, so it makes a good filename to store the temporary count
:check
tasklist | find /c "comskip" > %3.txt
set /p count= <%3.txt
if %count% geq 2 (
echo ...%count% comskips running now, waiting 1 minute >>processing.log
timeout 60
goto check
)
del %3.txt

echo %date%,%time% - invoking comskip on %1 >>processing.log
comskip "%newfile%"
echo %date%,%time% - comskip finished with %1 >>processing.log
:end

Yeah that works if you don't want immediate access to the files in xbmc TV Shows

Agree but that is what recordings is all about watch it later..

If I want to watch it now I use LIVE TV.
