yep, i thought .mov[e] was appropriate..hehehe
it just ignores it..as i don't use the filename from the {destination} param...[gbpvr would set filename.mov as {dest.}]
not sure if it's needed at all
but it's there to use as a param if you need it..

makes adding a hard drive for extra space a no-brainer..

there's all kinds of stuff having easy access to the db enables..i'm thinking of making a recording sharing system for pending and recorded stuff..
making sharing the load of recording, and sharing end recordings between machines seamless.. [without client mode needed]
will probably just start with an existing-recordings sharing for now...

and stuff like search watch lists, suggested viewing, auto-archiving, etc...

I think we got a little >> rather than >> ???

yea, it looks that way huh? but it isnt...hehe
if you enter >> into there, it will convert it automatically...
to gbpvr it looks like >> [&Greater Than]
just like & looks like & to us but not to gbpvr..
it's a .net programming thing..
a real >> would choke it..

I have just given it a try & am rapt to say it's working a treat, really looking forward to setting it up on my mvp server & finally seeing some free HDD space
One thing I noticed was it leaves behind the empty directory (I can see me having to go through my recording every now & then & deleting heaps of empty directories) is there any way to check if a directory is empty & if so delete it??

[pBS]

yea, good idea...just found the way to do it also..
EDIT:
set deldir=
if exist "%~dp1*.mpg" set deldir=no
if exist "%~dp1*.avi" set deldir=no
if exist "%~dp1*.dvr-ms" set deldir=no
if exist "%~dp1*.wmv" set deldir=no
if not "%deldir%"=="no" rd /q /s "%~dp1"

Already added to zip on first post.

works great for those emergency low show space moments..
could even automate it with scheduler to offload all to usb drive or network drive..

I updated Simple Archiver with some new features:
1.copies only the movie file you select in video library, + .txt, .srt, .edl files if they exist...

2. now removes original subdir if no movie files found within it.

3. cleaned up the logs and made 2, \third party\archiver.log for workings, and \third party\archived.txt just for list of all completed moves...

EDIT 5-6-08: it deletes the original file only if copy completes successfully..

setup several profiles with different destinations if you wish..

it's fine to hit 'Exit' and going about your business in GBPVR, it'll finish fine without you..
'Stop' may or may not stop the process, depending on what point you stop it..

[pBS]

oops! looks like i typo'd and forgot a closing ( in the batch...
now fixed...
[look at end in delete section, no closing ) ]
just add ) before "goto :eof" at end and all is well...that's why 1 would work and 2 wouldn't...

sorry about that guys..my mistake..

original post updated so ignore this post..

This is great, thanks!

Hi Guys,

I'm intending to use this cool little util to archive from the Recordings directory (using the Recordings within Videos trick) but as far as i understand when the file is archived it still leaves an entry in 'Recordings'. I would prefer it if this didn't happen so any mention of the file is effectively removed from the recordings list and it only appears in the archive directory.

Is this possible?

Many thanks for your help.

lol then you don't need it..just copy the file somewhere else and it'll disappear from recordings automatically...[default behavior]
but i guess you want to do it from within pvrx2...hmm...

just make a batch file to do the move, and that's it...
[of course make profile entry to run it]
like:
move /y "%~1" "%~2"

and save as move.bat
and a profile of

<Conversion name="reMove file" exe="move.bat" cmd=" {SOURCE_FILE} \\home\g\mpg\ &gt;&gt;archives.txt" targetExtension=".mov" />
