comskip comclean problem

[kslee]

I used to have comskip and comclean working automatically last year but can't get it working with the new version of GB-PVR v0.97.13. My main interest is to record football games, have the commercials taken out, and delete the original recording, all automatically. here is my postprocessing.bat.

comskip %1
call comclean %1
del "%~dpn1_original.mpg"

after recording a program when i play the file in GB-PVR, there are no commercial cuts and when I play the file in another program all commercials are present. also, there are no text files in the directory where the recorded file is.

any help would greatly be appreciated.

Here are a couple of pointers...

It really looks like you have it written right...

Does Comskip generate a txt file? Will GB-PVR at least show the Commericals marked out?

ComClean won't work unless Comskip has functioned properly...

If you're interested, ZProcess can do some of the guessing for you. Basically, it's a front end for these tools. Once setup, it'll do all the work, including clean up all the extra text files, and temp files.

If you're going to try ZProcess, follow the stuff on my wiki page, and join me in my support thread if you have questions...

You do have comskip.exe and comclean.bat etc in your gbpvr dir? And postprocessing.bat?

yes i do have all necessary files in my gb-pvr/devnz directory. i changed my postprocessing.bat and it seems to have fixed my problem. here's my new postprocesssing.bat...

c:
cd "C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr”
comskip.exe %1
call comclean.bat %1
del "%~dpn1_original.mpg"

basically all i did was make sure it was in the correct drive and directory and added the file extensions on comskip and comclean and it seems to have worked.

i'll have to check out this ZProcess to make things a little easier to manage. i like the idea of having a front end utility to help with other utilities. thanks for the responses.

Adding the path statements was my next tidbit...

When/If you try ZProcess, be sure to check your postProcessing bat. Refer to the ZProcess wiki page under 'using Postprocessing.bat'

you'll probably want to use this command line:

Code:

"C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\Third Party\FFmpeg\ffmpeg" %1 comskip comclean auto

You'll also want to be sure the 'discard temp files' checks are checked on the 'utilities' tab
