Enable Item does nothing

Post by bbq.pit »

Hello all. I was able to find this great program last week after cutting my cable & have been stumped trying to figure this out since. I am running a Automated Media Center which I followed from this guide http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=196815 using Filebot + Media Companion + EventGhost.

I am moving a movie into a folder "F:\Downloads\XFER" which is listed in the directory watcher plugin. Disable: AMC & Enable: AMC macros fire properly but then I cant get AMC.bat or Media Companion to automatically launch after the Enable: AMC command. Here is a pic of the log & attached my .xml

If I right click & execute the AMC macro manually then it will run & do its thing then complete the Media Companion macro. I just cant get it to do it automatically like it should. You can see here exactally how it should be running https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYU7YLpJZss . I'm bashing my head here after reading for 2 days now trying to solve it. I thought it was possibly a windows permission issue but Ive tried it on Win 7 & Win 8.1 machines running as administrator. Ive tried searched but couldn't find anyone else with a similar issue. Thanks for your help!

If I understand well, so the problem lies in the fact, that the action Enable: DirectoryWatcher.Updated does not work.
I recommend this action to delete and recreate. There seems to be a problem with references.

Spoke too soon, problem is back after I rebooted. Never does anything when I execute Enable: AMC macro. I tried rebuilding it twice from scratch & doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong in building it? I was able to do 5 movies then I rebooted my server & it stopped working on reboot. I did not change anything so its very strange to me.

Ok so this is really weird. I made sure Im running in admin mode & thought it could be a permission thing so I right clicked on the XFER folder & checked properties. I unchecked Read-only (Only applies to files in folder) & immediately when I applied the change, EventGhost started to run the AMC script on the movie in the folder. I waited til after it was over & checked my file permissions which were full control. I coped a new movie into the folder & it just stalls at Enable AMC step again. The read-only box in properties is rechecked itself again which looks like normal behavior. I checked other folders & they all had that checked for me. Could that be my problem with folder permissions? This is a pretty fresh install of Win 7 pro & I never had permission issues in my life b4. Not sure what else to try, any suggestions please. Thanks!
