How do I do this? Can not find help.

[doggyfromplanetwoof]

This is my PostProcessing.bat file:

@echo off
e:
cd "e:\Program Files\gbpvr"

RenameRecording -t %1

echo %1 >> transcodeQ.txt

I have it rename the file based on episode than move the file to transcodeQ.txt which ques it up for transcoding and comclean.

It renames the file fine, but does not put the new name into transcodeQ.txt, instead of Family Guy - Death Visists it is Family Guy_20060814_0120300.

My question: How do I add the renamed file to transcodeQ.txt?

Thank you!!

because the %1 represents the 1st argument for the batch file.
it will not change mid-processing of the file.
the filename itself may have changed, but %1 will be the old name until the batch file ends.

I cant think of a way to do what you want this late in the evening, but hopefully with the above knowledge, you will understand the problem better.

I don't think you can easily find out the name of the show after it has been recorded. But you can get the output from renamerecording like so:

Code:

RenameRecording.exe -t %1 > rename.log

Eh... strike that... I just saw what you wanted to do. Sorry.

[pBS]

what gets output from the renamerecordings > log?
if just the new name then it's possible...
just re-read the filename back in from that file with a 'for' loop..
but if there's more in there than the new filename some extra stuff would have to be done..i don't use so not sure...

Code:

RenameRecording.exe -t %1 > rename.log
for /f "usebackq tokens=*" %%f in (rename.log) do echo "%%ff" >>transcodeQ.txt

post what it shows in the rename.log and i can adjust...

Hello,

This is what outputs to rename.log:

RenameRecording v1.1 build20051223
Title: King of the Hill

With your batch code pBS, my transcodeQ.txt I get:

"RenameRecording v1.1 build20051223f"

Am I asking the impossible?

ah age old problem...here's a solution....

takes in rename.log from the same directory and spits out the renamed file name into a file called nename.log

Look in the code and adjust the logic to your desires.

Most likely put the vbs file into your gbpvr directory along with your rename.log. In postprocessing.bat you should run newname.vbs

EDIT: changed script to trim all spaces before and after the file name.

Works like a charm, does what I need it to do.

But I have a new problem

It palces the rename file to my transcodeQ.txt (Edited the newname.vbs for my desires, thanks! Awesome file.) like this:
" E:\My Documents\My Videos\Recorded TV\Roseanne\Roseanne - Like a Virgin.mpg"
^Note the huge space (There is about 10 spaces of space)

and not like:
"E:\My Documents\My Videos\Recorded TV\Roseanne\Roseanne - Like a Virgin.mpg"
^tight, word wraped.

Although it adds the file fine, it adds a space making it where I can not run my transcode batch file, it errors out becuase of it. Any clue why this is happening (How to remove that space.)?

Again, thank you soooo much, I feel so happy about this hands free setup now GBPVR ftw!

[jam_zhou]

doggy...

download the file again. I've changed it to trim all spaces before and after the file name.

BTW, what transcode script are you using?

[doggyfromplanetwoof]

I am using this one (found on wiki, edited to my desires.)

Thanks, I will try the new file!
