Had comskip working, now it's not.

So I had comskip working for at least a few days, now it's not.  I created /opt/var/nextpvr/scripts/PostProcessing.sh from Martin's post here:
https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid527373

My comskip folder appears to be intact in my home folder.

I'm not finding Comskip, comskip or "PostProcessing" in the log files either, attached.

I'm no expert but searching your logs for "PostProcessing" reveals that permission is denied. I would look at your permissions and ownership for the PostProcessing.sh

Code:

2020-10-31 22:31:01.063 [DEBUG][14]     Starting: bash -c "'/var/opt/nextpvr/scripts/PostProcessing.sh' '/home/bmserver/Video_HD/Video_HD/KARE 11 News at 10/KARE 11 News at 10_20201031_22002229.ts' 11.1 1200 21 'KARE 11 News at 10'"

And of course the oft-noted chmod +x on sh files which also gives permission denied.

Thanks.  You were both right.

Code:

/var/opt/nextpvr/scripts$ ls -latr
total 16
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nextpvr nextpvr  135 Oct 26 13:04 PreStartup.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 root    root      77 Oct 26 23:30 PostProcessing.sh
drwxr-xr-x 2 nextpvr nextpvr 4096 Oct 31 23:41 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 nextpvr root    4096 Nov  1 07:03 ..

I swear I had done that, it's in the how-to doc I was writing for myself in case I need to rebuild.  Plus PostProcessing.sh was working at least initially, I tested it right after I set it up last weekend.  Makes me wonder if I lost something on a reboot (shouldn't have).  I will test again and try a reboot as well.

That read-only permission is ok, nextpvr won't write or delete this file.

Interesting, now the logs indicate that comskip can't be found.

2020-11-01 11:02:01.300 [DEBUG][92] > nice: ‘comskip’: No such file or directory

The Comskip folder exists my my home folder though, as does the comskip binary.  I followed the directions on comskip github to make it, and it had worked before.

trying to run it from the terminal doesn't work either:

Code:

~/Comskip$ comskip
comskip: command not found

When you built comskip did you do the make install?

I took this right out of the readme.md on github.

$ git clone git://github.com/erikkaashoek/Comskip
$ cd Comskip
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make

I renamed my Comskip folder and repeated the steps. There are pages and pages of output from the make instruction, but nothing that said "error".

[mvallevand]

Did you even try "make install" that I suggested You might need "sudo make install"

Not yet, I got booted off by the boss and was banished by my office. Although I guess I could ssh in and try it.
