comskip failures

[ydekmekji]

I am not having any luck using comskip--either with parallel or post processing. FIles get created in my directory, but they don't register the breaks when watching the show through NPVR.

Here's the log:

So it shows activated... ParallelProcessing.bat has:

@echo off
cd /d "C:\comskip"
comskip %1


And the files created are:

.edl
.log
.logo.txt
.txt

You need to try playing one of the files in NextPVR (preferably on the server) and then zip and upload your .logs directory. In this case, it would also be helpful to see the actual .edl file generated for the recording so that we can see if it has skip points set in it.

edl has

875.34 990.12 0

You still didn't include the .zip file of the .logs directory. So we can't see where NextPVR is (trying) to load the .edl file.

ok all the logs for a new show... DickVan Dyke... generates files but doens't mark them

I can't find any attempt to play The Dick Van Dyke Show is these logs. However, I did see where NextPVR loaded and used the comskip information during playback of these shows:
E:\Recordings\American Ninja Warrior\American.Ninja.Warrior.S07E16.Vegas.Finals.ts
E:\Recordings\Hot Bench\Hot.Bench.S02E69.Racial.Profiling.Shocker!.ts
E:\Recordings\The Good Wife\The.Good.Wife.S07E07.Driven.ts

does it matter that i watch the show? i can upload a test show where i attempt to play.

does it matter that i watch the show?

Of course it does... Isn't that where you are seeing the problem?...

i can upload a test show where i attempt to play.

Maybe watch the Dick van Dyke show, then post your logs...
