Yes, its possible to autorun a script on a recording after its finished by using the Recording Service. I suppose you are trying to get the "Automatic Commercial Removal script" working? It wont work with DVBViwer as the recorder though. See to it you have Recording Service working first, then i will guide you through the setup.

i am using digiguide to schedule my recordings through dabdig which sends a command to DVBViewer to record at specific program at specific time etc.

 

it would be great if DVBViewer itself could do post recording commands! i dont think i want to switch to recording service as it would not blend well with my digiguide setup

Ok, I see! Perhaps there's some way launching DVBViewer after recording tasks through COM scripts or Eventghost, but haven't studied that angle much. Don't need to when having the greatest PVR system ever in form of Recording Service, which takes care of everything for you fully automatic.

 

Sorry, i can't help you...keeping my fingers crossed some others on this forum may have the anwers you are looking for

use ...\DVBViewer\Scripts\stoprec.vbs that is what you are looking for.

what command would i use to trigger it? thanks for your help

[videogamingtown]

the main reason i dont want to use recording service is because it doesnt give me the series and episode numbers for tv shows which is annoying for me as i like to keep a collection!

[majstang]

All of that is possible with Recording Service. Just use WebGrab++ (which supports the digiguide) and XEPG (which imports the XMLTV EPG into RS) and you'll have episode numbering.
