Rename recordings from a satellite receiver!
Posted: 13 Apr 2013, 22:44
Hy Rednoah!
Thank you for your great program!
I use FileBot to rename my with a Topfield PVR-satelite receiver recorded TV shows. The recordings are stored on a NAS!
The receiver stores the recordings in an MPEG format with the extension "rec", also a "rec.inf" file and a "rec.nav" file is created.
(The "rec.inf" contains TV information and the "rec.nav" is required from the receiver to play.)
I've modified the "media.types" file so that the recordings will be renamed.
Currently I use FileBot with the GUI and it works very well, all three file formats are correctly renamed!
I am now trying to automate everything from the CLI, but without success, I hope you can help me!
With the CLI, only two files are renamed correctly, the third but not!?
I've also tested with the renall and watcher script, but there is no different, are there some other settings?
Another question
I do not find anything on how to use FileBot with FTP!
Is it able to rename recordings directly via FTP? (This would be very interesting for other Topfield user without a NAS)
Thank you for your efforts!
