Command Line Archive

[jrockow]

Is there a command line form of the ARCHIVE function?
At the end of the day, after recording my shows to the local drive, I would like to move them to my NAS.

If this isn't possible, has anyone worked out a different method of doing this?

Thanx!

I simply record shows I want to archive directly to the NAS and record shows I want to watch/delete to the local drive.

Thanx for the response.
There aren't many shows that I actually keep after I watch them.
However, I'm concerned about losing them (drive failure) before I get to watch them.

I presently record everything to the NAS, but I'm noticing some droputs when recording multiple HD shows.
I thought if I went to the local drive first it might eliminate this.

You could write a batch script to move the file and add the following line to sync the db

NScriptHelper.exe -rename <old-file-name> <new-file-name>

I'm not familiar with NScriptHelper.exe.
Where can I find more info?

It would be so easy though if the archive function worked in a command line.
No one has commented if that is possible.

A command line archiver would really need to be a utility scanning for all recordings. Gathering the filenames or oids daily to manually to add to another script would be a real annoyance in my books.

probably could add the logic to postprocessing.bat?

[mvallevand]

Putting it in postprocessing would really only work tied in with some kind of scheduling, otherwise it just delays recording to NAS by an hour or so and the i/o concern is doubled.

My idea was to schedule it for the wee morning hours.

However, I'm discovering a new problem now with splitting the recordings between LOCAL and NAS drives.
It kinda screws up the directory filter function that Sub added; you can't see all the recordings in the same window.

This may take some more thought before making a change.
