ImageGrabLite Setup

[hootie318]

I have been at this for hours and I cannot seem to make sense of all the individual posts and the instructions.

I have installed imageGrabLite into the nextPVR folder in Program Files. I have run the program in command prompt and i keep getting an unhandled exception.

I do not know if this is a program error or the fact that my recordings live on another drive?

Is there a step by step guide? The plugin page in the wiki tells me what commands I want to run (command 2) to rename the files.

I am trying to rename my current files (on a separate drive) and then setup to rename after a recording has completed. NEXT PVR lives on C: and my recordings default to E:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Probably need a little more info.

- What does your command line look like?
- Can you post the exception that you are getting?

IGL is typically not called from the command line, as you need to pass the OID to it. An easy way to do this is in the PostProcessing.bat file as NPVR passes the OID when the batch file is called.

To rename after recording you need to set up a file called postprocessing.bat in the C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts folder.

Something like this:

@echo off
cd /d "C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Comskip"
hiderun comskip %1
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR\imageGrabLite.exe" --oid %3 --rename --nfo

I'm not sure how to use imagegrablite to rename existing files.

Command line photo attached
Should I be designating a path to the E: drive where my files are stored?

I've added that script file to the ImageGrabLite wiki page.

I noticed this command in the .bat
SET SQLITE="c:/users/public/NPVR/Scripts/Utilities/sqlite3.exe"
I do not have this in my folder

It should point to wherever you download and manually install sqlite to https://www.sqlite.org/2015/sqlite-shell...090200.zip

in your example command line above, there is no %3 usable in command line, the %3 exists only in a batch file..
so to run from command line, you'd have to supply an OID as the parameter to the command..like:
ImageGrabLite.exe -oid 4764 -rename

or, it could be done in a single command, with no .cmd files being produced..

Code:

set oid=
for /f "usebackq tokens=1 delims=," %%v in (`sqlite3 "%db%" "SELECT oid FROM scheduled_recording where status= 2 AND filename NOT LIKE '%.S%'; " `) do (
if "%%v" EQU "" (echo ******** That file is not in nextPVR database!
goto :eof
) else (
path\to\imagegrablite.exe -oid %%v -rename
)
)

of course you'd need to adjust for your system,etc...
i'll see if i can't make one that doesn't need adjustment and upload later after testing....
