podcast solution in 1.0.16

[ybreton]

Hey everyone,
I was pretty disappointed that MyVideos ceased to work on the latest release of GBPVR. I have Juice running in the background downloading some of my favorite podcasts like Diggnation, TRS, AAN, etc. I used to use MyVideos to navigate to where they were downloaded and play them in VLC. So I've set up a series of batch files that are scheduled to run at 3:15AM that automatically convert the MOV, M4V and MP4 files into dvd-quality mpeg2 (hard drive space is not an issue on this machine).
If you have any comments or suggestions, I'm more than willing to hear what you have to say. The batch files are typed out below. Windows scheduler runs "startconvert.bat" at 3:15AM every morning.

startconvert.bat

FOR /R %%i in (*.mov) DO CALL convert.bat %%~dpni
FOR /R %%i in (*.mov) DO del %%~dpni

for /R %%j in (*.mp4) do call Convert4.bat %%~dpnj
for /R %%j in (*.mp4) do del %%~dpnj

FOR /R %%l in (*.m4v) do call convertv.bat %%~dpnl
FOR /R %%l in (*.m4v) do del %%~dpnl

for /R %%k in (*.mpeg) do ren "%%~nk.mpeg" "%%~nk.mpg"

convert.bat

if exist "%1.mpg" ren "%1.mpg" "%1.mpeg"
if not exist "%1.mpeg" G:\FFmpeg\ffmpeg -i "%1.mov" -target ntsc-dvd "%1.mpeg"

convert4.bat

if exist "%*.mpg" ren "%*.mpg" "%*.mpeg"
if not exist "%*.mpeg" G:\FFmpeg\ffmpeg -i "%*.mp4" -target ntsc-dvd "%*.mpeg"

convertv.bat

if exist "%1.mpg" ren "%1.mpg" "%1.mpeg"
if not exist "%1.mpeg" G:\FFmpeg\ffmpeg -i "%1.m4v" -target ntsc-dvd "%1.mpeg"

Check out this thread, I explain how I do exactly what you are trying to do. In addition I don't have to use VLC to play the vids, they play through GBPVR, so I have all the control over them (play, pause, FF, delete, etc). I DO have a codec pack installed, so that may be part of it.
