Hi nicx,

It is OK to create a task that will start the run.bat, if it only starts at system startup, and doesn't try to repeat over and over again without shutting down previous runs. If you were to make a task to run the run-loop.bat on startup, make sure that it doesn't keep trying to start more copies of it. You could achieve this same functionality by placing a shortcut to run.bat in the Startup folder in your startmenu.

What I did was to create a task that does repeat itself every ~1-2 minutes, and executes the episodescanner.exe file. I also set it to not start the task it the task still has a running session from before. This task begins at system startup.

Hope I helped!

Sincerely,
James

ok now i configured a task for the episodescanner.exe which runs every 10 minutes from 0:00 in the night for 24 hours, i think this is enough

thanks for your help

Hi Disaster and thanks again for your tool!

I found two issues (yet )

1) you get an error message about a missing key, when you deactive TheTvDB:

# activate search on thetvdb.com
$use_tv_tb = 0;

--> shouldn't this be the opposite?

2) When I run the tool with scheduled series (Heroes, Battlestar Galactica), I get an "unknown encoding" error:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\episodescanner>run_debug.bat
Cleaning the cache...
deleting old Logfiles...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

now please upload your log.txt to the forum and describe your problem

3) the log.txt doesn't contain the error message from screen -> you can't see the error

I think this can be fixed easy

strange are you running a german windows? Normally every localized windowsversion has a codepage - i need this for encoding / decoding of the german umlauts. But you Windowsversion does not seem to have a Codepage. Which version are you running?

It's windows 7 x64 (see my system specs).

I thought you try to get the encoding from the XML tag and there is no one.

no it's not from XML - the XMLs are always utf8. I need this for example for MSSQL. I get the title results in MSSQL in the local WIndows encoding. Normally (and under all my Win7 installation x64 and x86) it is cp1252. Strange... mhm i've seen this only on english / us installations before.

I'm using MySQL here. could this be the cause?

normally not as this is something which windows should provide in every case.

But please try to redownload my tool - i've updated the zip and give that one a try.
