Dirmon processing multiple copies of same file

[src666]

I'm using DirMon2 to execute ShowAnalyzer tasks on my SageTV recordings. Right now I have 3 SA jobs set up, which in general works well. However, there seems to be an issue with DirMon2 firing off the jobs in too close a sequence. It really likes to start 3 copies of SA all processing the same file.

It appears as though DirMon doesn't give the first process a chance to start and create the .TXT file before kicking off the second and third. One solution would be for DirMon deal with one job at a time: test for the start conditions, fire it off, wait a few seconds, then move on to the next job (test, start, wait, etc.).

Another alternative would be a setting to prevent it from using the same file for multiple jobs at the same time. I'm sure there are people who would find the current behaviour useful, but right now it's just wasting clock cycles and network bandwidth for me.

Thanks!

Out of curiosity, why do you have 3 jobs for the same thing? DM2 will fire off multiple instances of the same job with different files as long as there are enough resources available. Can I see your ini and maybe then make some recommendations?

I didn't realize that it would run multiple instances of a single job. I'll cut it down to one and see what happens. If I still have trouble, I'll post the ini. Thanks!

UPDATE: That took care of the problem. Thanks for setting me straight on how the jobs work.
