par2 command line help

[jondak]

Hello,

 

i require some help editing a script to generate par2 files for the movie folders. I want to use it to protect my movies from bitrot or other errors.

 

My case:

 

\\unraid\diskXX\movies
                                           \720p
                                                      \yearxx

                                                                   \movie

                                                      \yearxy

                                                                   \movie
                                           \1080p
                                                       \yearxx

                                                                     \movie

                                                       \yearxy

                                                                     \movie

           \movies without subtitles
                                                        \720p
                                                                   \yearxx

                                                                                \movie

                                                                   \yearxy

                                                                                \movie
                                                         \1080p
                                                                    \yearxx

                                                                                \movie

                                                                    \yearxy

                                                                                \movie

 

At the moment I am mounting each year as a map network drive using a cmd file which generates the par2 files in each movie folder.

I open a command promt and use par.cmd x:\ (x being the network drive)

 

The par2.cmd is as fallows:

 

@ECHO OFF

REM this command script requires Windows 2000/XP

SETLOCAL

REM check input path

IF NOT EXIST "%1" (
ECHO The path does not exist.
GOTO :EOF
)

REM set options for PAR2 client

SET par2_path=C:\Users\Jon\AppData\Local\MultiPar\par2j.exe
REM SET par2_blocks=64
SET par2_redundancy=2.19

REM recursive search of sub folders

PUSHD %1
FOR /D /R %%G IN (*.*) DO CALL :ProcessFolder "%%G" "%%~NG"
POPD

PAUSE
GOTO :EOF

REM create PAR2 files in each sub folders

:ProcessFolder
PUSHD %1
%par2_path% c -rr%par2_redundancy% -fo -rd2 -lr100 "%~2.par2" *
POPD

GOTO :EOF

ENDLOCAL
 

What I would like is to mount the "movies" and "movies without subtitles" folders as a map network drive and for the script to create in a drive called Y:\ the same folder structure and put the par2 files in each corresponding folder. The reason is with my current use it also write to parity when i generate the par2 files and when i move them to a separate disk outside of the array.

 

Also if anyone use has better ideas i all for them.

 

Thank you.
