Is comskip working with 1.1.5?

Backup your database first, then run the following:

delete FROM "RECORDING_SCHEDULE" where recording_type = 0 and filename not like 'F:\%'

Then try again.

Did this, here is a screen shot. Looks like it got some but not all of the files without a filepath.

The ones with the recording_type = 5 were supposed to stay, so that should be fine.

Did you try a recording?

Tried one, caught the end of show (is that okay), didn't comskip after it was done. Here are the logs.

Edit: ooops, I may have started the next recording before I copied the log file.

Hmm, why are they still there...

Ah, I see you're on vista. It is probably it's file protection getting in the way. Try this:

- stop your recording service
- Delete the c:\users\<user account>\appdata\local\virtualstore\program files\devnz\gbpvr directory. The 'appdata' bit of this is a hidden directory, but you should be able to type it into the address bar
- start SQLiteSpy as administrator, then execute the following:

Code:

DELETE FROM "RECORDING_SCHEDULE" where recording_type = 0 and filename not like 'F:\%'

- restart the recording service
- ... try again

Followed your instructions....everything seemed to go fine, but no comskip running. Here are the logs.

Those last changes seemed to have sorted out the error you were getting in your logs, but that wasnt the reason comskip wasnt running. I think I've found the cause though. Can you see if this patch sorts it out for you?

(backup the original file first, this is the first patch I've build on my new development machine...)

Looks like it is working

Thanks sub!

I wonder what I did to mess it up originally?

[sub]

No, I think it wasnt liking ATSC .DVR-MS files. If it had been a .MPG file then it would have run. I think most of the users with this combination run it from PostProcessing.bat, which would have been fine.

[linene]

I didn't realize that most use the postproc approach. Before I lost a motherboard on my last pvr machine, I was running comskip on dvr-ms atsc files without a postproc for about a year and it worked great.

Any chance we will see a change to allow comskip to process dvr-ms files during recording?

one note...i am not seeing comskip running in task manager, but i know its working because I can see the txt files growing.

ok ive been following this
i have been trying for ages to get a mux im happy with that will do dvb-s
have given up and gone back to dvr-ms

anyway
all i want to know is
what settings/files do i need to get comskip working automatically after the recording
i have read these post and ended up more confused than when i started as to which files i need
comskip works on my mpegs fine just doesnt start on dvr-ms
