Comskip rules for XBMC.

[smacrae]

Hmm, doesn't seem to work (only trying from my OSX XBMC client(s).

I have added the following in to my advancedsettings.xml:

<pathsubstitution>
<substitute>
<from>M:\</from>
<to>smb://192.168.137.46/TV/</to>
</substitute>

I also tried making M:\Recorded TV and "M:\Recorded TV" etc. in the <from> fields, nothing seems to work...X-NEWA still plays the program but ignores the comskip files (NextPVR works fine with the comskip files).

I ensured I did a refresh in X-NEWA also...

Can I see your xbmc.log?

Sure, here it is....I can see that it is saying it cannot find the M:\Recorded TV\etc. for the file that I am playing so resorts to http://<ip-address-of-nextpvr-svr>/etc. however I have no idea why it's doing that....

You are too deep in the logs :

11:09:38 T:140735327433088 NOTICE: No settings file to load (special://xbmc/system/advancedsettings.xml)
11:09:38 T:140735327433088 ERROR: Error loading special://profile/advancedsettings.xml, Line 14
Error reading end tag.

In my example I didn't close it fully perhaps I should add

</pathsubstitution>

Thanks, the advancedsettngs.xml file loaded now, see below:

<to>smb://192.168.137.46/TV/</to>
</substitute>

However when I play a file it still does this:

11:28:31 T:4782272512 NOTICE: M:\Recorded TV\Masterchef The Professionals\Masterchef The Professionals_20130226_19312035.ts

I'm guessing here but is it possible your from should be M:\Recorded TV\

Martin

[smacrae]

I'll try that also, will I need to do <from>"M:\Recorded TV\"</from> or leave out the quotes?

[mvallevand]

Leave out the quotes, it does a full match before substituting.

Still getting the same issue:
