comclean...

[lowfront]

if im getting files that say original does that mean that its almost doing somthing?

[erik]

Yes,
It means comclean is running.
But you have to give some more information otherwise there is nothing we can do.
What is your recording source? DVB?
Post the .txt file that is generated by comskip.

Do what the wiki says
[COLOR="Red"]
If Comclean does something you do not understand you always can run it from the command line or change the line in Postprocessing.bat into

call comclean %1 >>comclean.log 2>>comclean.err

This will create two files comclean.log and comclean.err containing all the information generated by comclean when running.[/COLOR]

Post the two comclean log files.

Seems you have run comskip multiple times on that file.
Mail me the .txt and the .log file.

[lowfront]

sorry where would i find this .txt and .log file?....

which ones?

[erik]

When comskip runs on a certain mpeg file it creates a file with the same name as the mpeg file in the same directory as the mpeg file but with the extension .txt
When you set verbose=1 or higher (max 10) in the comskip.ini file comskip als generates a file with the same name nut with the .log extension.
When you look in the .txt file you can see if comskip did identify commercials because each commercial is identified by a pair of numbers on a single line.

[lowfront]

sent..

[erik]

So the .txt file says Comskip found commercials.

Now the question is what comclean does with it.
You get the _original.mpg file so comclean runs till the end.

Now you need to change in your postprocessing.bat the line that says
call comclean %1
to
call comclean %1 >>comclean.log 2>>comclean.err
and post the comclean.log and comclean.err that are generated inside your gbpvr home directory after comclean did run.

[lowfront]

call comclean %1 >>comclean.log 2>>comclean.err

is this correct?...is there sopposed to be a space after the %1?......
or is there sopposed to be a space after the .log2?

im just saying cause the first thing has a space then the second one doesnt....

[erik]

Its correct.

The %1 is translated into the actual file name
The 2>> stands for redirection of the error output
The >> stands for the redirection of the normal output
