I've been playing with comskip for the last couple of weeks and I've got it down to where it almost always right on the commercials. It generates the text file and most are right on where the breaks should be.

I have the auto skip checked in config, I'm running it from a post processing bat file.

While watching a recording sometimes it will just skip ahead like i think it should (skipping over the marked breaks) and other times it needs me to do the 0+skip thing manually

Is there something that GBpvr looks for to do the auto skip? Is there something i could tweak a bit to get it to auto skip? Maybe a config setting or something.. I just don't understand why sometimes it auto skips and sometimes not even though the text file has marked what to skip over.

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Here is what I want to do. Is it possible.

I have two video capture devices. 1.The Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2 and 2. Avermedia 150M. I currently have the Avermedia configured to use internal tuner with my cable tv input and the Hauppauge with s-video to my Dishnetwork satellite box.

Is it possible in GBPVR to set up another device in the config program for the Hauppage capture card only this time for the tuner with cable input. This would allow me to record two different channels off of cable at the same time. If so, I assume GBPVR is smart enough to choose which card to use to avoid possible conflicts with satellite recording.

I have read serveral threads about "point me at the config directory please". I not sure about the solution.

After updating EPG, I select "Map digital channels.." then promted to "point me at the config directory please".

I have also installed ShowShifter.

:confused:

For no rhyme or reason, my MVP has suddenly started rebooting itself during MPEG2 playback. I have made no changes to GBPVR or my system recently, other than an update that Acrobat Reader installed. I have a plenty powerful system, a P4 2.8Ghz HT w/ 1GB PC3200 and a Hauppauge PVR-250. The drive I use to store the recordings is a 120GB ATA, which I'm only using a tenth of that. That and my page file is on that drive.

I use comskip on my recordings, and I had GBPVR setup to automatically skip. I tried disabling autoskip with no help. When my MVP reboots I usually have to restart the GBPVR MediaMVP Server and power cycle the MVP. Sometimes it will connect back to the server and go to the main GBPVR screen on it's own.

I had a similar problem a while back with MP3 playback. The MVP would reboot after every 2 or 3 songs. I read on another post that installing the .NET 2.0 Beta Framework helped, so I installed it and it immediately helped. I'm now starting to wonder if that was simply a placebo, even though it was stable for 2 or 3 weeks.

I started looking through the log files, but I couldn't find anything obvious. I'm not exactly sure where to start to troubleshoot this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Everything seems to work ok except that any shows I've scheduled and then recorded stutter on play back. Both video and audio. Live TV w/ pause and even when I record from live TV playback just fine. It seems to only happen when I've recorded something by scheduling it in the TV Listing. If I try to play the stuttering file using Media Player is still stutters so I know it's being recorded wrong.

I've looked all over this forum for a clue but the posts I've found don't seem to apply. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

John

I've had an issue with my pvr system since I've added a pvr-150 card to my system. I was already using a pvr-250. Recording channel 4 has a really crappy picture when ever uses the pvr-150 card. When I pulled out the pvr-250 card the issue went away. I've upgraded the drivers to 2.3b and the most current GBPVR. It has really gotten on my nerves knowing there was always a 50% chance that when I was recording channel 4 it would record bad. As I was looking through all the posts here about fine tuning a single channel etc. it occured to me why not just disable the channel from the EPG channel line up on the 150. So now theres a 0% chance that channel 4 will record from the pvr-150 card. I just wanted to pass this info along to everyone that is having a problem with only one channel (hopefully one of your other tuner cards will work fine like mine does)

i'm having bad audio issues. everything looks fine and it all works okay. the only thing i can think of is the SIS audio that i'm using. My orginal system had a P4-2.4 on a motherboard that had a via chipset. i've swapped over to a AMD 2800+ with sis chipset. i then did a fresh copy of xp pro, and then all these problems showed up. has anyone else had a problem with the sis audio chipset?

One of the problems of Comclean is the non continues timeline created by mpgtx. This causes some players to stutter or to hangup.
One possibility is not to use mpgtx but to use cuttermaran.
The newest version of comskip can create the cuttermaran project file (cpf) that is used for this alternative cutting.
On my server you can also find comclean2_0_0.zip containing a demuxer and a muxer you have to run before and after cuttermaran.
This is all demonstrated in the batchfile comclean2.bat.
This batch file can be used instead of the regular comclean
It has not yet been extensively tested so be carefull when using.

If I use the tuning Assistant, it finds the channels. But when I click on LiveTV it only displays the channel (E.g MTV) with no signal.

I use the Hauppauge 350 card and I have tried everything.

The "Capture sources" tab is set to "No channel changer required" because I cannot get the IR remote to work.

I use Direct Recording Plugin set for Internal Tuner, Norway, and Cable.

The cable antenna goes into the Hauppauge card. Here is a log:
