Well, since the command/script is called with popen and you don't wait for it, i think the record server will happily continue to do it's work while the command/script is being executed.
As for formatted strings i think the filename that the recording has created (let's say x.avi) is mandatory. So, the formatted string with the filename is my only suggestion :) On Tue, 2004-08-03 at 15:27, Rob Shortt wrote: > Right now it is very rudimentary, more like just laying the groundwork > for further improvements so people can get the idea of what could be done. > > The code: > > elif event == RECORD_START: > #print 'Handling event RECORD_START' > prog = event.arg > open(tv_lock_file, 'w').close() > self.create_fxd(prog) > if config.VCR_PRE_REC: > util.popen3.Popen3(config.VCR_PRE_REC) > > elif event == RECORD_STOP: > #print 'Handling event RECORD_STOP' > os.remove(tv_lock_file) > prog = event.arg > try: > snapshot(prog.filename) > except: > # If automatic pickling fails, use on-demand > caching when > # the file is accessed instead. > os.rename(vfs.getoverlay(prog.filename + '.raw.tmp'), > > vfs.getoverlay(os.path.splitext(prog.filename)[0] + '.png')) > pass > if config.VCR_POST_REC: > util.popen3.Popen3(config.VCR_POST_REC) > > > So as you see it simply expects VCR_PRE_REC and VCR_POST_REC to be set > to a command or script you have and gets no options passed to it.
