Help with ComSkip

[dmclone]

I can't get this to work. I see my mpeg file and I see 2 text documents. I open up GB and choose recordings and then I play the episode. At that point I can't skip past commercials or anything. I'm confused. I have a PVR-150 MCE.

Here are my two text files.

My second attachment was too big. Here is what it says at the end

When you play this recording do you see some slightly darker patches in the show timeline graphic? These are the commercials.

Pressing the play button when you're in one of these patches will jump to the end of the commercial.

[dmclone]

I can't even get the timeline to come up. I do a ctrl-B. Is that correct?

My shortcuts seem to work fine on live tv but when I'm playing a video I get nothing.

Try explicitly setting the video decoder on the playback tab of the config app, instead of relying on the system default setting. If you're using the Cyberlink decoder, switch to Overlay instead of VMR.

[dmclone]

Wow you know your stuff. I made that change and I now have all the shortcuts enabled except skip commercial. Should I assume this will work on future recordings?

[dmclone]

OK-Everything is working now on the comskip side. How do I go about getting comclean to work? Here are some files. I don't know if they wil help or not.

Sorry, I dont know anything about comclean

[reboot]

You have your postprocessing.bat set up correctly.
Download and install comclean, and it should simply process the file, once comskip has finished.
It will remove all ads identified by comskip, in the recordingname.txt file, in your recording's folder.

[dmclone]

I've already downloaded comclean but it doesn't seem to be working. Here is the info in my comclean.bat file.
