automated conversion, how?

[erikl]

Hello all!

I installed the latest version yesterday and discovered a new cool function, Conversion processing under the tab Processing...

But, some things about it.
1. I wan't 24hourclock
2. I managed to set the "timer" to start at 3 o clock, but nothing happened ?
3. Does it need ffdshow or something like that?
4. Finally, is there a way to run it when you wish, i.e. start a script, click a button like "Process now" ?

1. I wan't 24hourclock

Looks like you're out of luck then

2. I managed to set the "timer" to start at 3 o clock, but nothing happened ?

Can you post your GBPVRRecordingService.exe.log file for that time?

3. Does it need ffdshow or something like that?

If you're going to convert from DVR-MS to MPEG2, then you need the Cyberlink mux installed. If you're going to convert from either DVR-MS or MPG to DivX/XviD, then you need to have Elecard player installed. Conversion to WMV do not require any extra software. EDIT: I think conversion to WMV requires Windows Movie Maker to be installed (which is freely available from Microsoft).

4. Finally, is there a way to run it when you wish, i.e. start a script, click a button like "Process now" ?

No, there isnt. You can set the transcoding to happen ASAP, which will start processing as soon as the recording finishes.

In general, start experimenting with WMV / XviD first as these have seem most reliable. DivX seem less reliable.

Darn... just have to figure out if it is PM or AM that is daytime :)

Can you post your GBPVRRecordingService.exe.log file for that time?

Hmm.. nope, but another log:
19:28:55.439 INFO Log started
19:28:55.439 VERBOSE SOURCE:D:\Videos\Simpsons\Simpsons_20050915_18301900.mpg DEST:D:\Videos\Simpsons\Simpsons_20050915_18301900.wmv TYPE:WMV RECORDING_OID:

However, there is no .wmv-file in that directory ?

No, there isnt. You can set the transcoding to happen ASAP, which will start processing as soon as the recording finishes.

Meaning if i understand it right, that if you do not tick the "wake up.."-box it starts converting right away?

Can you post your GBPVRConvert.exe-native.log?

Nope. If you scroll throw the start time hours, you'll eventually get to an ASAP setting.

Now i'm not sure if it an error here really, going to test again and see if timer-setting fails, then i'll send a fresh .log

Nope. If you scroll throw the start time hours, you'll eventually get to an ASAP setting.

Ah, i see it now

[erikl]

Alright, attached the last convert-log, however it's not much info in it.
Setting is to convert asap to .wmv

Really weird stuff this :-)

Can you post the GBPVRRecordingService.exe.log file that goes with this?

[erikl]

Here it comes...

And i'm testing a recording right now, because i had ticked the box for wakeup in config, now it's unticked to see if it works..

Wrong log. I need GBPVRRecordingService.exe.log

[erikl]

Damn! sorry, i noticed that it was wrong, here comes the right one.

i think mysetting for logging is screwy, what setting is preferred? Info, Error or Debug?
Now it's set to info...
