Plugin: Sage Job Queue (SJQ) v3

How did you move the archives? Are you moving them to an import folder if you just move them..... did you do a refresh? If moving them to an import folder all you have to do is a refresh..... if moving them to another folder other than an import or recording directory you have to relink them if you want to see them in recordings.

[BKeadle]

I manually moved them to an import folder (from my recording drive to my "archive" drive)

What exactly do you mean by "refresh"? They do show up in my Video Library section, and I can play them fine, I just don't see any of the show information. And what's entailed with "relinking"? Sorry - that sounds like a noob-kind of question.

[BKeadle]

I went to the Web GUI and selected to rescan - we'll see what happens.

I'm also re-visiting /BMT page - pretty cool - but not sure if that provides a solution or not.

So, in the scanning process, does it find media files, and if a .my file is found, read it and import that into Sage's database so that it shows in the Sage (SageMC) client?

[BKeadle]

The "library import scan" finished and I now have mixed results. Some Shows directories have the information, others - or at least my "example" directory, AmericasGotTalent shows the *number* of shows correctly (22), but when I navigate to the folder (showing 22 items), there is only one media file.

How do I "relink" a certain folder?

   _RELINK

I'm learning so much from you...

In the Relink, you have:
"C://_TVShows/$.GetShowTitle{}/%p%.mpg"
why is only the first directory delimeter "//", the others are single, "/". I thought I understood I can either:
"C:\\_TVShows\\$.GetShowTitle{}\\%p%.mpg"
or:
"C:/_TVShows/$.GetShowTitle{}/%p%.mpg"

ASIDE:
Did you customize this for me using my "_TVShows" or is this a case of "great minds think alike"?

[BKeadle]

Very interesting script. I see your command:

move "%~f1" "%~dp1"
set checkuse=%ERRORLEVEL%
if %checkuse% NEQ 0 exit 1

(I changed %~d1%~p1 to a shortened version, %~dp1)
is trying to move a file to itself. This actually works as a test for a file being in use? Very cool if so.

set outdir=%3
for /f "useback tokens=*" %%a in ('%outdir%') do set outdir=%%~a

set MediaTitle=%2
for /f "useback tokens=*" %%a in ('%MediaTitle%') do set MediaTitle=%%~a

Nice trick for dealing with quoted parameters!

It's a good day when we learn something new!

Assuming the video being moved is on the same volume, wouldn't it be better to just move it instead of xcopy? Is there a reason you're copying instead of moving?

[nyplayer]

I use xcopy instead of move because in my case the destination folder is not in SageTV... It is neither an Import or a recording directory in SageTV. SJQ needs to see the original file in order to do a relink. If your destination folder is a Sagetv import then you can use a move.

Care to comment on this, nyplayer?

[nyplayer]

What I would do is move a few back to a recording folder to see if it finds the info from the guide... that is if you did not rename them. Just move a few and do a video refresh.

[BKeadle]

Now I'm really confused...

1) After having moved only a few of the shows back to the Recordings folder, *All* the recordings (for America's Got Talent) is back in the TV Recordings page, with many of them with Archive enabled and all the show information is intact. Are the ones showing as "Archived" by virtue of them being in an Import folder, not the recording folder?

Is there a way to show the full filename of the show in the Sage Client (like I can see in the Sage Web interface?)


I also realized - working on your SJQMoveTitle script - that the filename AmericasGotTalent-* does *not* indicate the show title; the show title is "America's Got Talent". So my current directory structure is "invalid", and I need to change all the directories to reference the *Show Title*, not the filename prefix:

.\AmericasGotTalent\AmericasGotTalent*.mp4

to

.\America's Got Talent\AmericasGotTalent*.mp4

2) I'm trying to also run a _RELINK. Here's my Server Ruleset:

if [IsObjMediaFile == true && $.IsFileCurrentlyRecording{} == "false" && Filename =* "_TVShows" && Filename =* "AmericasGotTalent-" && $.GetNumberOfSegments{} == "1"] 
{
   :PRIORITY 1500
   :RELINKOPTS "$.GetAiringID{}" "V:\\Videos\Drobo2\\Recordings\\_TVShows\\$.GetShowTitle{}\\%p%.mpg"
   _RELINK
}

The task fails with this error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: File argument must exist and be readable!

And the MediaDebugger shows this:

So why should the task fail?

[BKeadle]

In the Ruleset editor, what's the "Reload" button for? If I "Save" my ruleset, is it not active until I hit "Reload"?

[graywolf]

Reload puts back into the editor what you last saved.

Say you make a bunch of changes and realize you goofed BEFORE hitting SAVE.
You hit RELOAD and you are back (in the editor) where you began.

[BKeadle]

Ah - good to know. Thanks.

[BKeadle]

I must have a syntax problem here, but can't figure it out. My ruleset is trying to filter against filenames. Here's the Media Debugger output.

2011-09-01 05:38:14,972 WARN  [RulesParser]: 	Line 61: Evaluating 'Filename =$ ".mpg"' == true

2011-09-01 05:38:14,972 WARN  [RulesParser]: 	Line 66: Evaluating 'IsObjMediaFile == "true"' == true

What gives?

[BKeadle]

Since I couldn't get this to resolve to true with media file:
V:\Videos\Drobo2\Recordings\_TVShows\America's Got Talent\AmericasGotTalent-1390208-0.mpg

MediaVar '%c%' == 'V:\Videos\Drobo2\Recordings\_TVShows\America's Got Talent\AmericasGotTalent-1390208-0.mpg'
[MediaVariables]: 	MediaVar '%d%' == 'V:\Videos\Drobo2\Recordings\_TVShows\America's Got Talent'
[MediaVariables]: 	MediaVar '%f%' == 'AmericasGotTalent-1390208-0.mpg'
[MediaVariables]: 	MediaVar '%e%' == 'mpg'
[MediaVariables]: 	MediaVar '%p%' == 'AmericasGotTalent-1390208-0'
[RulesParser]: 	Line 61: Evaluating 'Filename =* "Fringe|AmericasGotTalent)"' == false

I did get this to resolve to True:

Filename =% ".*Fringe.*|.*AmericasGotTalent.*"

I suppose I could work with that, but I'd like to understand why Filename =* "Fringe|AmericasGotTalent" doesn't work. Isn't this expression saying, "if the filename contains the string Fringe or AmericasGotTalent "?

...TIME PASSES...

Well, OK, I suppose this will suffice:
(Filename =* "Fringe-" || Filename =* "AmericasGotTalent-")

exit 0

I see you're creating a *.relink "flag" file for the relink function. How does the .relink file ever go away? Does the internal _RELINK function know to delete the file? Does _RELINK rely on the existence of a .relink file?

According to the Perl logical operator explanation, || is for numbers and OR is for strings. You are comparing a string so you might want to use OR (same number of keystrokes).

It shouldn't matter though.

I wonder if (Filename =* ("Fringe-" || "AmericasGotTalent-")) would work.

You simply use the SJQ built in file cleaning option. No relink does not rely on the relink file ..... I create the relink file in order to only relink if the copy completes with a zero condition code... you do not want to relink a partially copied file!!!!!!. That is why this is coded if %checkxcopy% EQU 0 echo "xcopy complete" >> "%~d1%~p1%~n1.relink"

[BKeadle]

Ah, I see. Clever. Thanks.

In the examples in this thread that I used to come up with the syntax, I haven't seen the use of "OR" - but interesting to note the perl operator explanation. As for your suggestion, I'll give that a try for learning sake - what I have is working.

Thanks for your reply.
