Well I've had no luck getting recordings to show up in the que. My settings are just like the examples in the first post.

The service is setup to run as localsystem. I'm using mapped drives, but have also tried UNC paths with no luck. I assume it's a permission problem, but I don't know jack about all that stuff.

Have you tried setting it up to run as a user? Preferably the one that you use to record/watch the shows.

I am using XP pro sp2

I have since tried running the service as both users on the machine. the currently logged in one, and the one that is not logged in. neither helped.

Should the GUI show a queue as quickly as the cmd? or does it take several minutes?

The queue will be available almost as soon as the cmd. However, it won't show up until you hit the "Refresh" button.

I'm at a complete loss as to why it isn't working for you. I'll take another look at the code and see if anything jumps out at me.

I tried to run as a user but the service will not even launch. The Current Status shows Stopped. The only way I can get it to start is when it's running as localsystem.

I intstalled both SA and Dirmon2 on another computer, and had the same results. Dirmon runs but doens't find any shows to run. I know there are shows to run because I deleted the .txt files from several shows before installing.
Everything does work if I use the cmd prompt.

I also downloaded a fresh copy of dirmon2 and reinstalled on my normal computer in case I had a bad install. It had no effect.

This generally indicates there is a problem with the username or password. Try putting a .\ in front of the username.

The only difference between the command prompt and the service is permissions (that I know of). I'm going to add some extra logging to the job search. That may point us in the right direction.

I have found on several occasions that if you have never had a service run as a user, you have to go to Services in Administrative Tools and setup the user there under the 'Log On' tab for the service. When you select the user and set it all up, you'll notice that a popup will come up that says something like "The account .\Whatever has been granted Log On As A Service right." That might be your problem, because if the user you are trying to make DirMon2 log in as does not have that right, the service won't start.

Thanks for the update, Jere. Just wish it wouldn't lose all the previous settings...when updating versions.

Hmmm... good point. I'll look into it.

Actually, it's not that hard to setup, once you've done it before...

SUCCESS!!!

I have finally gotten Dirmon2 to work, I updated to 0.5.4 because I was having trouble with it running at 100%. (using cmd to run).
I think my problem may have been a combinations of Mapped and UNC not playing nice with User and LocalSytem. I have it working with UNC and user. I know I have tried that combination before. But it is late and I am just happy that it is working now!

On the off chance anyone else is having trouble pulling up Jere's site like I am, this IP seems to work nicely:

Yep. I'm trying to fix some DNS issues...

Hopefully, it shouldn't be long...

I guess I'll have to learn how services work before I can get Dirmon2 to work and unfortunately I don't have the time to fool with it at the moment.

If I try to run dirmon2 under localsystem I get the following error when trying to use mapped drives:

2006-Mar-28 18:00:21 - boost::filesystem::directory_iterator constructor: "D:\Video": The system cannot find the path specified.
2006-Mar-28 18:00:21 - boost::filesystem::directory_iterator constructor: "E:\Video": The system cannot find the path specified.

If I set it up to use UNC paths I get:

2006-Mar-28 17:40:33 - boost::filesystem::directory_iterator constructor: "\\Mediaserver\sagetv (d)\Video": Access is denied.
2006-Mar-28 17:40:33 - boost::filesystem::directory_iterator constructor: "\\Mediaserver\sagetv (e)\Video": Access is denied.

If I try an logon as a user (the only user setup on the PC) I get an error saying the service didn't start due to a logon failure. I'm reallying wanting to be able to run multiple instances of SA, but I wish there was a simplier way to set the thing up.

The User will probably need a password and "logon as a service" rights if you haven't already set those up. I had to do this to run SageTV as a Service and access network drives with UNC paths anyway.

Same here. I spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out how I did that, so I could post here, but was unable to do so.

I think the settings were under Control Panel, Perf & Maint., Administrative Options or something...

And yes, you do need a password for it to work. The service password must match the user password.
