You can't call a parameter following a batch file. The way you have it there it thinks it is one command. It thinks the command is ripconvert.bat nicholasvodeos. I think you would need to use a variable such as %1 which would also need to be coded for within the batch file.

The command *is* "ripconvert.bat Nicholasvideos". Then I use %1 to direct the output to nicholasvideos in the batch file itself. This allows me to use one batch file and call it for many destination folders using the parameter. In theory, anyways.

This works on the commandline but fails from the menuitem.

works fine but

<exec cmd="C:\Program Files (x86)\SageTV\SageTV\userdata\Phoenix\RipConvert.bat NicholasVideos" />

never triggers the script.

Any ideas?

command args go in the args attribute

<exec cmd="C:\Program Files (x86)\SageTV\SageTV\userdata\Phoenix\RipConvert.bat"
          args="NicholasVideos" />

Thanks, that did it.

Is there an easy way to get the default STV "Search" home menu item on the Phoenix Landing Zone? I just switched this weekend and this is like the only thing that kind of bugs me...
