running comclean manually

[afriend1]

After hours of gleaning through these posts, I ran the following postprocessing.bat with my most recent recording because I had a bunch of programs I recorded without any plugins. I was hoping to find commercials on all previously recorded shows (comskiphelper), remove them (comclean), save the original and a new commercial-free copy (for comparison purposes- I found the modification for comclean.bat to leave both copies), and then rename each show with it's episode name (renamerecordings).

ComskipHelper.exe > ComskipHelper.log
call comclean.bat %1 >comclean.log
RenameRecordings.exe > renamerecordings.log

The only thing that seemed to work was comskiphelper. It went through each folder and generated a .log and a .txt file for each episode. I also checked a couple of episodes and the commercial breaks are indicated. With any new shows I'll drop comskiphelper and substitute comskip and then probably need help tweaking my postprocessing.bat.

But right now I want to tweak my comskip.ini settings. How do I run it manually? ...in a comman prompt window? Can you give me example?

Thanks!

Open a command prompt.
Type the following:
CD DriveLetter\Pathname\To\recordings
c:\progra~1\devnz\gbpvr\comclean filename.mpg (notice the space before "filename.mpg".

Alternatively, you can do this:
CD Progra~1\devnz\gbpvr\
Comclean [i]Driveletter\Path\To\The\Recording\filename.mpg

The easiest way is
1) copy comskip.exe comskip.ini comskip.dictionary into the folder with the .mpgs.
2) in explorer, drag the .mpg to comskip.exe

That's it, no typing.

this won't give you a "comclean version" will it
it will just mark them in the text file
what do you do next to cut the commercials out

thanks

Indeed,

Next you should run comclean on the combination of the mpeg and the .txt generated by comskip.

A simple way to do this is to create a desktop shortcut icon to comclean.bat and to drag the .mpg file and drop it on the comclean.bat desktop icon
