Difficulty finding executable, and not parsing folder name

[wmoindrot]

Hi,

I'm really sorry about this, I haven't taken the time out in my job to get my head round accessing githubs repositories or development structures, so this issue is probably mainly about my inadequecy!

From what I have found the executable found in PanoptoScheduleUploader.UI/bin/debug is the only one which is working for me so far, however it is not for some reason parsing the CourseTitle/Folder name to the scheduler. Instead it is always looking for a Folder on our Panopto server called #Test. Otherwise it's working great - I am in a fix with a ton of classes to schedule so I'm happy to create this folder on our server, then move the scheduled recordings to where they belong, and be immensely grateful for your work in the process!

Am I doing anything wrong, am I looking in the wrong place for the executable? thanks, Will

Other executables:

PanoptoScheduleUploader.UI/bin/release - only takes XML file selection, authenticating and finding folder ok, but returns with error description 'Pagination.MaxNumberResults must be equal or less than 1000'. Only gives this when found an existing folder

PanoptoScheduleUploader/Obj/x86/Release - does nothing on my machine
PanoptoScheduleUploader/Obj/x86/Debug - does nothing on my machine

Hello! So sorry to hear about your frustration with the app, I hope we can get it straightened out.

I recommend using this version:
PanoptoScheduleUploader.UI/bin/release

I just made a small change to address the max number error you hit. I am sorry that we missed that bug!

Can you try downloading the app again and see if it works for you now? Thanks!

Hi Panopto, no frustration just part of the process!

I downloaded the new version, updated the server information in the various config files and it is now working like a trooper! So very happy with this, and has allowed me to do what would normally take me a week in one afternoon.

It would be great if in the future it allowed optional setting of the 'Availability Dates', as this is quite a repetative thing here as we basically set it to two days after the event in all cases, so would save a lot of time if we can do this calc in Excel and be able to instate at time of the batch scheduling. Do you think this would be possible to implement in the future?

I wish I had the coding skills to contribute my self!
Many thanks ans best wishes, Will (Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine)

I am so glad to hear it!

We are planning to add availability management in the future, but we still need to do some server side work to get that rolling. I will let you know when that is in.

Thanks again for the feedback so we could fix this up.

Hi Panopto,
I recently ran into the same issue with the #Test folder not being on the server. I replaced the #Test with the real folder name in the code and it worked but that is not sustainable for large amounts of scheduled recordings. I used both the executable in the debug and release folders with identical errors. I just downloaded the source files yesterday, so I can only assume I have the latest updates.

Thanks,
Larry

Hello Larry,

Your best bet would be to include the folder in the input file for each row. Is that an option in your case? That is what we would expect for cases with many scheduled recordings.

You add the folder data like this:
Folder Name

See this example file:

I hope that helps. Thanks!

Hi Jenn,
Yes I did include the Folder Name in the csv file. I did delete the headers
out of Row #1 on the csv file. I thought I read that the headers would
conflict with the process.

Thanks,
Larry

Oh, I see. Even with the folder name specified, it uses the wrong folder. I am sorry that I misunderstood. I filed an internal bug to track this issue and re-opened it here.
