properties file for each show recording?

[ThePaladinTech]

How do I get that going? I'm just recreating my SageTV setup and I don't seem to be getting a properties file with each recording. and I think I need that for MCEBuddy to be able to usefully convert the files. is that part of SageTV or do I need something else? (bmt???)

Thanks

Install the CMT Plugin. But if you are going to be using MCEBUDDY it is better to create the SageTV XML file. by setting this property.


load_at_startup_runnable_classes=net.sf.sageplugins.sagexmlinfo.RecordingXmlGenerator

my MCEBUDDY rename.

%ismovie%<%showname% (%airyear%) -%airingdbid%-0,%issport%<%showname% %recordyear%-%recordmonth%-%recordday% - %recordhour%%recordminute% - %episodename% -%airingdbid%-0,%ifepisode%<%showname% (%premiereyear%) - S%season%##E%episode%## - %episodename% -%airingdbid%-0,%showname% %recordyear%-%recordmonth%-%recordday% - %recordhour%%recordminute% -%airingdbid%-0>>>

this renames the file and keeps it on SageTV.

ex rename.
Marvel's Agent Carter (2015) - S02E01 - A View in the Dark -23023489-0.ts

I installed the CMT tools and am getting the properties files. I'd like to make the sage xml files as well. but am not sure how to properly edit that line in my sage.properties file. it already has a load_at_startup_runnable_classes= entry.
Can't look know but I think it is for opendct.

Do I make another load_at_startup_runnable_classes= line or do I separate the entries after the = somehow?

Thanks again. going to be helping 3 other folks upgrade to sageTV opensource next week. I want to have all my notes ready.

OpenDCT has no runnable at startup maybe you mean PrimeNetEncoder. You can separate the entries I believe with a comma.

[ThePaladinTech]

found it in case anyone else needs it:

Note that the line: load_at_startup_runnable_classes= may already exist. If it does, than just add the value to the end of this line
If anything already exists in this line, separate each item with a semicolon ';'
Note that this is case-sensitive and there must be no spaces at all in this line.

My "load_at_startup...." line was blank after the = sign. so, after stopping/ quitting SageTVI added info to it so it now reads:
load_at_startup_runnable_classes=net.sf.sageplugins.sagexmlinfo.RecordingXmlGenerator

I am running the latest open source (v9) SageTV. I have not loaded any other plugins or extras.

After restarting the SageTV server, I let several programs record. However, I seem to have no .xml outputs. Do I need to so something else (additional)? Does it work with the open source SageTV? Did I do something wrong?

Update: It turns out - I needed the CMT plug-in. Installed it, rebooted. It works, but it produces .properties files. Don't know if XML would be better, and don't know if it is plugin or the load at startup line making it happen, but MCEBuddy does read the .properties file, so things seem to be working overall.
