OK have made a few more little changes and the file download url has changed :
1. The script now has a config file called omconfig.py and this is the file you can set options, only two at the moment. This reduces the chance of indents in the main script getting deleted when changing settings and stopping the script from working
2. Added the option for recorded programs that are marked as New: in planner to be stored in the same folder as the recordings of the same program that are not marked as New:
Download the zip file from
https://www.dropbox.com/s/inbxuto9yaj0wmh/ordermovies.zip?dl=1
unzip the file on your computer
open the omconfig.py file in a unix friendly text editor notepad should be OK I believe. In this file you will be able to set two variables:
mergenew : set to 0 if you want recordings marked in the planner as NEW: kept separate, set to 1 if you want them stored in the same folder as other recordings of the same program that are not marked as NEW:
path : set this to the path where your recordings are stored.
Save the file and FTP the two py files to your server. If you have used an older version of the script then you can just overwrite the old version with this version. Both files MUST be in the same folder as each other. I have them stored in /home/root but I know others have ftp'ed the script elsewhere.
If you have used older version of the script and have put the new version in the same location then you do not need to do the next step.
Now on your box go to the cron manager menu -> Timers -> CronTimers
Press the Add (green) button and then set the cron up as below:
Run how often? : Hourly
Command type : Custom
Cammand to run : python /home/root/ordermovies.py (make sure this points to the correct path where you uploaded it to)
Then click on the save button (green)
Make sure your cron manager is running and autostart is active
Your recording will initially be recorded in the normal location, the script will now run once an hour and move recordings as explained in my first post.
When you look at file list you will see folders, click on the relevant folder and you should then see a list of your recordings of that show, to return to the first list click on the folder at the top '..' .
All feedback welcome and appreciated in this thread
