Using PSExec for Process Task

I'm currently trying to use a remote computer to encode my recordings as the PC I use to record is incredibly slow, but fast enough to record.

 

Outside Recording Service I can use a batch file as a test which contains:

 

"H:\more tv\pstools\psexec.exe" \\192.168.0.8 -u myusername -p mypassword "C:\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe" -i "\\MOON\More TV\10-03_20-53-51_BBC ONE_Strictly Come Dancing.mpg" -threads 2 -vcodec libx264 -s 640x368 -flags +loop -cmp +chroma -deblockalpha 0 -deblockbeta 0 -crf 24 -bt 256k -refs 1 -coder 0 -subq 5 -partitions +parti4x4+parti8x8+partp8x8 -g 250 -keyint_min 25 -level 30 -qmin 10 -qmax 51 -trellis 2 -sc_threshold 40 -i_qfactor 0.71 -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -ar 48000 -ac 2 -y "\\MOON\More TV\test22.mp4"

 

This works fine and ffmpeg encodes the file on the Remote PC.

 

Inside Recording Service under Process Task I use for Filename: H:\More TV\psexec.exe and for parameters: \\192.168.0.8 -u myusername -p mypassword "C:\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe" -i "\\MOON\More TV\10-03_20-53-51_BBC ONE_Strictly Come Dancing.mpg" -threads 2 -vcodec libx264 -s 640x368 -flags +loop -cmp +chroma -deblockalpha 0 -deblockbeta 0 -crf 24 -bt 256k -refs 1 -coder 0 -subq 5 -partitions +parti4x4+parti8x8+partp8x8 -g 250 -keyint_min 25 -level 30 -qmin 10 -qmax 51 -trellis 2 -sc_threshold 40 -i_qfactor 0.71 -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -ar 48000 -ac 2 -y "\\MOON\More TV\test22.mp4"

 

Psexec runs but ffmpeg does not run on the remote PC and there is no test22.mp4 file. Am I doing something wrong?

 

What I am looking to do in the future is run a batch file to wake up the remote PC and then run this command so the remote PC can speedily convert to MP4, but how can I use {SOURCE_FILE} and the other strings so it is integrated into a batch file.

 

Many Thanks

most likely missing rights for the system account the service runs in...

 

 

Can I give more rights to recording service if I run it under as an admin rather than system?

Thanks Lars, changed the service to run as admin it worked! :)

 

I'm just stuck on the strings now.

 

How can I integrate the strings into the batch file?
