Some recordings from HDhomerun Prime are killing my system

[jmv]

Well the test worked the unplayable became playable.

Currently I use Dirmon2 to run comskip and I'd like to integrate this step into that flow. How can I modify the batch file so that it uses my U: drive for all the recoding instead of C:?

The batch job currently uses whatever drive the recording is on this makes the move of the new file instant and uses less drive bandwidth. This really doesn't do anything .... (if not exist "c:\temp" md "c:\temp") I put it there if you had a problem I can have you redirect the output there.

Whatever your recording path is it will create under it a tmpEncode folder and Remux to there.

Thanks, works as advertised. I am still although the remux solution enables my PC clients to playback the files, my HD300's are still choking on the files...is there some sort of remnant I need to purge, or do I need to adjust a parameter to have the resulting files work with the extenders?

thanks for all your help!

Testing this now, and the remuxed file is playable, thanks!

However, I don't see the expected original file replacement. When I drag a problem .ts onto your .bat the remuxed file is placed in \tmpEncode, and the problem .ts is deleted. If I cut/paste the remuxed file back into the original's locataion Sage plays it as the original.

-My recordings directory is H:\Video1
-I extracted the static FFMPEG build to H:\Video1\REMUX
-ffmpeg.exe is in H\Video1\REMUX\bin, so that's where I put RemuxSage.bat and touch.exe

Any ideas why the original isn't replaced?

Thanks!

What is your operating system?

You Probably need to add 2 lines to your bat file. See lines in red below. This is xp problem.

Cd C:\Windows\System32
c:

CD /d "%~dp0"
move "%~f1" "%~d1%~p1"
set checkuse=%ERRORLEVEL%
if %checkuse% NEQ 0 exit 1
if not exist "c:\temp" md "c:\temp"
if not exist "%~d1%~p1tmpEncode" md "%~d1%~p1tmpEncode"
if exist "%~d1%~p1tmpEncode\%~n1.remuxed%~x1" DEL /Q /F "%~d1%~p1tmpEncode\%~n1.remuxed%~x1"  
if /I "%~x1" EQU ".ts" start /B /I /W /belownormal ffmpeg -i "%~f1" -acodec copy -map 0:a -vcodec copy -f mpegts -map 0:v -sn "%~d1%~p1tmpEncode\%~n1.remuxed%~x1"
if /I "%~x1" EQU ".mpg" start /B /I /W /belownormal ffmpeg -i "%~f1" -acodec copy -map 0:a -vcodec copy -f vob -map 0:v -sn "%~d1%~p1tmpEncode\%~n1.remuxed%~x1"
if /I "%~x1" EQU ".mp4" start /B /I /W /belownormal ffmpeg -i %~f1" -acodec copy -map 0:a -vcodec copy -f mp4 -map 0:v -sn "%~d1%~p1tmpEncode\%~n1.remuxed%~x1"
set ffmpegerror=%ERRORLEVEL%
if %ffmpegerror% NEQ 0 DEL /Q /F "%~d1%~p1tmpEncode\%~n1.remuxed%~x1"
if %ffmpegerror% NEQ 0 EXIT 1
touch.exe -r "%~f1" "%~d1%~p1tmpEncode\%~n1.remuxed%~x1"
if exist "%~d1%~p1tmpEncode\%~n1.remuxed%~x1" DEL /Q /F "%~f1"
Cd C:\Windows\System32
c:
if not exist "%~f1" move /Y "%~d1%~p1tmpEncode\%~n1.remuxed%~x1" "%~f1"
rem echo "remuxed">"%~d1%~p1%~n1.remuxed"
exit

Adding the 2 lines caused the bat to exit without processing.
Adding the pause did as expected.

Another nail in xp's coffin...

nyplayer,

Any input on my files not playing back on HD300? Works fine on PC SageTV client with the remux, but the HD300 continues it's swirl of death behaviour.

thanks,

I do not know how to correct the HD300. I have completely uninstalled SageTV and gave away my 1 HD300. Got tired of having to remux. Went onto another HTPC software.

Right now I have NEXTPVR up and running reasons below.

1. Picture in Picture (great for football)
2. Multirecord can record 2 or more shows on 1 tuner... depending on transponder.
3. Padding ... can keep padding on the shows same channel no need for extra tuners.
4. My Android Tablet. I can Stream using XBMC. I can also use XBMC as a frontend.... or client.
5. Can stream through webserver.
