having comskip and IGL run together

[tron999]

I tried searching, but couldn't find an answer to my exact question, so here goes:

system: win7 64 bit., npvr + xbmc frodo

I have IGL running perfectly, it runs in postprocessing and renames the files which get their correct info loaded in XBMC. I have decided to run comskip, but i'm not sure when to run it.

If I run it in parallelprocessing, won't it create the edl/txt file with the old name, which won't match when IGL renames it, therefore not being picked up by XBMC?

If i run it in postprocessing, after IGL, will the %1 variable that I pass to it work, since the file has since been renamed to what IGL names it?

If there's already a proven way to do this, i would appreciate a link.

Options I can think of

1 - rename in parallel processing, after comskip finishes add a slightly delay if comskip closes right away (unlikely)
2. - in postprocessing wait for the file to clost http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...se-problem
3. - in postprocessing get the filename passed from iGL as shown here http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post432106 use %newfile for comskip

I like option 3 the best. Here's my entire postprocessing, does it look okay?

Code:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR\imageGrabLite.exe" --oid %3 --rename --subtitle --nfo
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR\imageGrabLite.exe" --oid %3 --nfo

set newfile=
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%i in ('imageGrabLite --oid %3 --rename --subtitle --nfo') do SET newfile=%%i
if not exist "%newfile" goto end

@echo off
cd /d "C:\comskip"
hiderun comskip %newfile

:end

Try it on a short program and see, that what I'd do. If iGL doesn't rename it you probably want to comskip the original file rather than ending

Ok I have been working on this awhile. IGL is working fine still, but I can't get the batch file to pass a variable to comskip. %1 passes the original file name, as I suspected, so it does nothing. For some reason newfile isn't getting any title into it. I googled a bit, and found that the variable has to be %newfile%, with an extra percent symbol on the end.

I'm doing this in postcancel.bat, so i can cancel and have it run without waiting for a whole show. Here's what I am working with right now

Code:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR\imageGrabLite.exe" --oid %3 --rename --subtitle --nfo
rem "C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR\imageGrabLite.exe" --oid %3 --nfo

set newfile=
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%i in ('imageGrabLite --oid %3 --rename --subtitle --nfo') do SET newfile=%%i
echo %%i > c:\users\public\npvr\logs\i.log
echo "%newfile%" > newfile.log
rem if not exist "%newfile" goto end


@echo on
cd /d "C:\comskip"
comskip %newfile% > comskip.log

:end

For the comskip line you might need %newfile% in quotes.

I had that before, and it was writing "" to my log file. the comskip log is showing that it's not getting any file name passed to it. How can I print what %%i is?

I just tested my original example and the echo works Maybe you haven't take the path into conderation
