[addon] AutoXvid (November 12 Update)

[dk96m]

Hey Lee,
I am working on a project. I am new to creating applications, and I wanted to try and create a new autoxvid, in away. Probably will never get it to work, but I was wondering if I could look at your code. I am the guy who hosts all the files for autoxvid for you.

think you can help.

Do you want just AutoXvid.au3 or do you want all the source code?
Here is AutoXvid.au3 ....

source code would be cool

I put a self extracting file on the server. It contains all of the source files.
Source.exe
You will need to obtain and install Autoit package. AutoIt is free.

Trying to do something with vb.net in visual studio, but just learning. Thanks for sharing. Just something im messing with in my spare time.

Wish there was an easy way to covert autoit to vb or C

There is hardly any difference in language, the difference is in the interface to devices and to Windows calls. There are no shortcuts there though!

Anyone able to get autoxvid to work with windows media center.

Now that I have the hdhomerun prime with a cable card, and btv is no longer updating and it wont work together, so far wmc is the only program that does. I would love to figure out how to post recordings to autoxvid?

anyone do this or know how to?

I don't know anything about Windows Media Center, but you can manually execute AutoXvid.exe and it will ask you for a recording, you may select one or more recordings.
EpisodeData will fail since it is not a BTV recording, so AutoXvid will be missing most of the critical info.

Hey Lee,

Long time no post, only because everything has been running smooth as silk for forever. Naturally I decided to mess everything up and rebuild my DVR box.

I'm going to give HandBrake a shot this time around so we can see what kind of mess I can get myself into.

Anyway just wanted to give you a heads up that the link to the installer doesn't appear to be working. I poked around on the download site and found InstallAutoXvid.exe which doesn't appear to be a working installer. Luckily I found the a copy from my original install in a backup so I'm in business.

I hope all is well with you!

Learn something new every time.

Here is a little FYI for anyone doing a clean install, hopefully it'll save someone some sanity.

I kept getting the following error:

2011-10-14 01:47:55 : MetaDataExtractor 10/14/2011 01:47:54 AM Description: General error: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at SnapStream.BeyondTV.WebServices.BTVLibrary.GetMediaByFullName(String authTicket, String fullName)
   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

I couldn't figure out what was going on. Apparently my EpisodeData.exe was version 3.3.1.30 and the newest version is 3.3.1.37. I had ran the AutoUpdate.exe program and thought it had downloaded all of the latest versions. It wasn't until I looked more closely did I realize I was still on the old version. So for anyone doing a clean install be sure and manually download the AutoUpdate.exe file first and then run it.

Apparently I was incorrect about my problem being related to the EpisodeData version.

I'm still getting the following error:
2011-10-14 19:18:54 : MetaDataExtractor 10/14/2011 07:18:53 PM Description: General error: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at SnapStream.BeyondTV.WebServices.BTVLibrary.GetMedi aByFullName(String authTicket, String fullName)
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---

The difference is that now the whole process is continuing on despite this error.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this or how to fix it? I've researched the forums a good while, I found a similar thread talking about issues with the BTV web services in general, but I can manually invoke them all including 'GetMediaByFullName' and get the expected return data.

Hi I'm trying to set up autoxvid with handbrake and am having some issues. I thought the manual on google docs might help but I can't get it to display anything. Anyone have a saved copy of the manual? Thanks.

[MidnightUT]

No, it's been messed up for a good long while now.

I used a combination of the manual included in the install, the instructions in the first couple of posts, dk69m has a Word document posted in here at one point, and then just forum searches for anything to fill the gaps.

It really wasn't as bad as it sounds

Let us know if you can't find dk69m's manual.

Ok thanks Mid. I'm this close to just buying the iTunes/DVD plugin.
