Comclean and renamerecording questions - Thanks!

[jusatry]

Hi All,

I stopped using GBPVR for a while there while I was moving, and now I am getting it re-setup at my new place. Some VERY nice looking improvements since I was last here Thanks!

I am having two issues:

Comclean first.

The MPG files do not get renamed to .clean and the commercials are still there. I have comclean set up to spit out a log and err file. the ERR file just says "Invalid range [-]" for each recording, and the log file says
"
C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr>"c:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\mpgtx.exe" -j -f -o "C:\TV Recordings\Saturday Night Live\Saturday Night Live_20060513_23300101_clean.mpg" "C:\TV Recordings\Saturday Night Live\Saturday Night Live_20060513_23300101.mpg" [-]
Resulting cutpoints:
"
For each recording. I have comclean in the postprocessing.bat file as "Call comclean %1" and I have comskip running during the show with the setting in config. Comskip seems to be putting out cutpoints, I have a .log and a .txt file in the recording directory. Any ideas on that? I am using the latest version of comskip (i think) .79 something and comclean .6

Now for Renamerecordings.

It doesnt rename anything! I have it setup with a log for an output file and the log looks like this:

RenameRecording v1.1 build20051223
Title: Saturday Night Live
Argument: -t C:\TV Recordings\Saturday Night Live\Saturday Night Live_20060513_23300101.mpg
No episode name found


I tried running it manually from CMD and got the same error. I am using zap2it and have rename in my postprocessing.bat file as RenameRecording.exe -t %1 > rename.log

Any thoughts on that?


I have searched the forums for both these problems, but didnt see anyone with the same issues. Thanks for any help in advance!

Please post the .txt file.
I assume its empty because then you get the [-] range in comclean.

Here you go, let me know what else you need

Thanks!

As for RenameRecording, many Saturday night live episodes do not have a Sub Title in their guide entries. If it can't find a subtitle for the program that was recorded it won't rename the program.

Could you post the .txt files generated by comskip?
It looks like its empty of comclean can't find it.

sorry erik, didnt realize which one you were asking for


edit i can post the log file if you want, its pretty long.

When dropping your .txt comskip output on comclean I get the following output

Code:

C:\Temp\comclean>"c:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\mpgtx.exe" -j -f -o "C:\Temp\x\Saturday Night Live_20060513_23300101_clean.mpg" "C:\Temp\x\Saturday Night Live_20060513_23300101.mpg" [-0:19:0] [0:21:
0:28:15] [0:31:48-0:39:37] [0:42:45-0:49:15] [0:52:35-1:9:37] [1:12:53-1:21:19] [1:24:35-1:30:6] [1:35:22-1:40:44] [1:42:32-1:44:22] [1:45:52-1:48:43]  [1:50:13-]
Resulting cutpoints:  0:19:0 0:25:35 0:33:24 0:39:55 0:56:57 1:5:24 1:10:54 1:16:16 1:18:7 1:20:58

As you can see the info in the .txt file is correctly translated into a mpgtx commandline.
It looks like there is something wrong at your side because comclean seems to get an empty or no comskip .txt input

Does this mean you run comskip in parallel and comclean in postprocessing.bat?
That is not possible
Create a paralelprocessing.bat that runs first comskip and then comclean.

Okay Erik. My postprocessing file now looks like this:

comskip.exe %1
call comclean %1 >>Comclean.log %2>>Comclean.err
RenameRecording.exe -t %1 > rename.log
rectracker "%1"

and the settings in config tell GBPVR not to bother with commercial detection.

We should be good, right? Ima record something during the day today just to see what happens.

Thanks again for the help!

That looks like it should be fine, however, you can speed up the whole process by running that in parallelprocessing.bat
Comskip will run as the show is being recorded, thus finishing almost immediately when the show is over, then the remainder of the bat will complete.
I no longer run any postprocessing.
