WizImageGrabber for NPVR - Can we (or you) change the directory Icons are put into?

[jksmurf]

sub changed GBPVR/Media/art to NPVR/Media/Shows .. for now I just copied the icons across

but could I request you change (or allow the user to change) the recipient directory so my postprocessing.bat, which downloads these after a show is recorded, then auto-downloads to the new dir ...

Thanks!

Sounds like a good idea. It is not my intention to hijack your thread, but I can get you to post your postprocessing.bat. I would really like to see how you download with WizImageGrabber...

Thanks

Code:

comskip %1
rectracker %1 > rectracker.log
rem recycler.exe

REM  ====================================================
REM  PostProcessing.bat addition for Program Image Tool
REM  This will download an image to the media/art directory.

ProgramImageTool.exe /File %1

REM  ====================================================
REM  PostProcessing.bat addition for Show Image Grabber Tool
REM  This will download an image to the media/art directory.

WizImageGrabber.exe /File:"%~f1" /CreatePlaceholders:false /ForcePlaceholderRefresh:-1 >NUL
REM WizImageGrabber.bat

REM  ====================================================
REM
REM  PostProcessing.bat addition for Movie Wiz Manager Tool

REM "C:\Progra~1\Devnz\GBPVR\Plugins\MovieWiz\MovieWizManager.bat"

Try this version.
Run once. Open up WizImageGrabber.xml (the config file), edit the ImageDir entry and adjust to desired location. Make sure entry ends with a slash.

This version seemed to work well for changing the output directory. How about also making a change to allow specification of the source database file so that it can be changed from the old gbpvr.db3 to the new npvr.db3 file?

And also, (this was a problem for me with GBPVR as well as NPVR), when WizImageGrabber "cleans" file names for shows, it seems to replace the ":" with a space. But when GBPVR/NPVR (or the skin) looks for image files, it replaces the ":" with a null. Hence the files aren't found. Could you change WizImageGrabber to just drop the ":"?

That'll take a bit more work. As I find some time, I'll adjust for new NPVR db schema.

Hi JW, any chance of a new update to WizImageGrabber, I'm looking at NPVR as my main system very soon.

Also: Previously I ran WizImageGrabber from a command line out of PostProcessing.bat:

Code:

WizImageGrabber.exe /File:"%~f1" /CreatePlaceholders:false /ForcePlaceholderRefresh:-1 >NUL

With the advent of the WizImageGrabber.xml, are you saying that I only need to run the exe in PostProcessing and the switches are picked up from the xml?

Hi JW, I have two queuries about the search.

1. The first concerns the order in which things get done when two shows are checked simultaneously. (Repeatable behaviour).

I recorded two test shows which ended at the same time. The Searchhandler order in the WizImageGrabber.xml is IMDB|Yahoo|TV Guide|EP Guide|The TvDB|The MovieDB| (6 searches)

Oddly, from the log (attached) WizImageGrabber starts with show one and checks the first FOUR shows IMDB|Yahoo|TV Guide|EP Guide|

Then it goes to show two and does the same (1st 4# shows), after which it immediately goes back to show one and completes the remaining two searches i.e. using |The TvDB|The MovieDB|
It then completes the remaining two searches |The TvDB|The MovieDB| for show two.

So they all seem to work (assuming query 2 below is working), just seems all a bit out of order when reviewing the log?

2. The second query concerns whether the "Filtered movie name" is really used in all the searches?
e.g. for the first four searches it says

Wobbly Land 20100926_11151130.ts for IMDB (no underscore between Land and 20100926 so I assume it just searches "Wobbly Land"), but this is not repeated for Yahoo|TV Guide|EP Guide which just state

Wobbly Land_20100926_11151130.ts.

I ask because when it goes back to do The TvDB|The MovieDB| it does actually REPEAT "Filtered movie name" (but calls it "Filtered Title" instead), whereas I see neither "Filtered movie name" nor "Filtered Title" for the Yahoo|TV Guide|EP Guide| searches.

In short, is it using some sort of "Filtered Title" for the three Yahoo|TV Guide|EP Guide| searches?

As Brett notes above, database will need to be adjusted as log says gbpvr.db3

Code:

2010-09-26 11:32:05.217  VERBOSE   Database: Data Source="C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\gbpvr.db3";Version=3;New=True;

Cheers!

Here is a version that has a new config setting (ImageDir). This should allow you to use WizImageGrabber with NPVR. Note, IMDB does not work very well anymore, so I suggest using TheMovieDB instead.

To set image output location:

• Install new version
  
• Run once (to create config entry) and exit
  
• Edit config, update "ImageDir" to your desired location
  

If this version works cleanly, I will post on the Wiki.

It tries to install to C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR not NPVR? Is this correct?
