Com Skip with ver .9 and greater

[Dubya]

Does anyone have any problems with using comskip on the media mvp with ver .9 and greater. It appears to work on my computer fine but the info bar doesn't display the length of time of the show nor does it display the commerical breaks.

Also I find that with .918 when I try and watcha show through the tv guide as soon as the show starts it stops and I have to press play for it to start again.

Is anyone else finding these problems as well??

Working fine here. Keep in mind that the MVP server (by default anyway) runs as SYSTEM, not your user account. So things like permissions or mapped drives could cause problems.

I'm running the beta MVP software, do you think that might have something to do with it?? Dubya

You shouldn't have any of the Hauppauge MVP software running. It can be installed, just make sure the services for it are stopped.

so you need to stop the mediamvp service and the mediamvpsvc service?

Yes, and set them to Manual start instead of Auto so they won't cause a problem again next time you reboot. Then just make sure GB-PVR is configured to auto-start at least 1 MVP server.

Yep, turning off the Hauppauge software is what fixed it for me.....

Landru did you have the same problem?

Dubya, I had the problem of not seeing the comskip generated commercial breaks on the MVP. As soon as I turned off the Hauppauge server without reloading the MVP, all was well.
