Configuration - File Settings tab

NOTE: For Windows users you can use network paths for output folders, but just make sure to use UNC style paths (\server\share) instead of volumes (h:\share) since Windows services doesn't know about network volumes.

Remove .TiVo file after decrypt

• Enable this option if you would like kmttg to remove .TiVo files automatically once they have been successfully decrypted to .mpg format.

Remove Ad Detect files after Ad Cut

• Enable this option if you would like kmttg to remove Ad Detect related files once Ad Cut task completes successfully.

Remove .mpg file after Ad Cut

• Enable this option if you would like kmttg to remove .mpg file once Ad Cut task completes successfully.

Remove .mpg file after encode

• If you use encode you can enable this option if you would like kmttg to remove .mpg files automatically once they have been successfully re-encoded.

For QS Fix of .mpg file backup original .mpg

• If running QS Fix on a .mpg file kmttg will rename the original .mpg file to .mpg.bak if this option is enabled. Otherwise by default kmttg removes the original .mpg file and replaces with the fixed version following successful QS Fix run.
• NOTE: If .mpg.bak file already exists then .mpg.bak1, .mpg.bak2, etc. will be used instead.

Check download duration

• If enabled will use MediaInfo CLI to determine duration of TiVo downloads and compare vs expected duration. If actual vs expected differ by more than a 200 second tolerance then this kmttg will treat the download as failed.
• You must have kmttg configured for Mediainfo CLI for this to work.
• This option is not enabled by default.

Check Available Disk Space

• If this option is enabled then kmttg will check that destination drive has more than the space available defined in Min req space (GB) field before running jobs. The available space calculation currently also subtracts estimated space to be taken by any ongoing .TiVo file downloads. (Currently no other jobs other than downloads are considered when estimating space to be consumed).

File Naming

• See [File_Naming] Wiki for details on file naming setup.

FILES Default Path

• Defines where you would like the file browser to start from in FILES mode.
• NOTE: You can use this option without having any Tivos defined if you wish.

.TiVo Output Dir

• REQUIRED if you plan to download files from Tivo Now Playing lists.
• This defines where your Tivo Now Playing List files will be downloaded to.
• NOTE: Make sure you have plenty of space here

.mpg Output Dir

• REQUIRED if you plan to decrypt .TiVo files
• This defines where the decrypted .mpg files will be saved
• NOTE: Make sure you have plenty of space here
• NOTE: This can be same as .TiVo Output Dir

QS Fix Output Dir

• Set the directory to output temporary .qsfix files. Defaults to .mpg output directory if not modified.
• NOTE: The final .mpg file which is replaced by the .qsfix version will still go in the .mpg Output Dir location. This is more intended to help speed up the VideoRedo file write process by being able to define location of temporary files on a separate disk volume.

.mpg Cut Dir

• REQUIRED if you plan to run the comcut step
• This defines where the comcut commercial stripped .mpg file will be saved
• NOTE: If this is defined as a different directory than .mpg Output Dir then the _cut suffix is not used for the output mpeg file name for the Ad Cut task.
• NOTE: Make sure you have plenty of space here
• NOTE: This can be same as .TiVo Output Dir

Encode Output Dir

• REQUIRED if you plan to re-encode .mpg files to other formats
• This defines where re-encoded files will be saved
• NOTE: Make sure you have plenty of space here
• NOTE: This can be same as .TiVo Output Dir or .mpg Output Dir

auto log file size limit (MB)

• This option is used to limit the size (number of MBytes) of the auto transfers log file: auto.log.0. Once the given limit is reached the file is copied to auto.log.1 and auto.log.0 is reset. By having a reasonable limit (defaults to 10 MBytes) this prevents the auto log file from growing too large.

Overwrite existing files

• With this option disabled kmttg will skip tasks for which output files already exist so as not to overwrite any existing files of same name on your computer. With this option enabled kmttg will run tasks regardless of whether their output files exist or not, overwriting existing files as needed.
• NOTE: It is highly recommended you enable this option if setting up Auto Transfers as when Auto Transfers are interrupted that can leave partial files created that you would want Auto Transfers to overwrite

Delete failed downloads

• On by default. If disabled kmttg will not delete failed download files.
• Only useful disabled if you also have Overwrite existing files option disabled or # download attempts option set to 0 or 1.
• By disabling this option note that you can end up with partial downloads, so most users will probably want to keep this option enabled.
