Any update on when CC might be operational again?

I released build 0.81.045 with an increased waiting time for wtv file during live TV procesing. Hopefully this will decrease the chance of a crash. Hi Erik, Can you make the wait time a parameter in the comskip.ini so we can play with the value. Also, did you get a chance to fix the INCOMMERCIAL fi...

This guy seems to have figured it out.

I have logging turned off (verbose=0), but got a log file with this message: "Insufficient memory to manage live_tv commercials" What would cause this error? This did happen on an Olympic recording which can be up to 11 hour blocks. I also have up to 4 channels recording at a time with 3 C...

???

So I can set live_tv=0 and still be able to skip commercials on a show that is currently being recorded? I'm confused. What does the live_tv switch do?

You need to tell DVRMSToolbox not to start Comskip for the DRM channels. You can do this by setting up a 'Process Condition'. This Engadget article describes what you need to do. http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/how-to-automatically-skip-commercials-in-windows-7-media-center/ Even though this arti...

I know the INCOMMERCIAL file is needed during live detection, but can it be deleted after live detection is over? And if so, can it be an option in the ini file to delete this file like the logo file.

BTW, what program reads this file?

I have noticed that when watching something while it is being recorded that the commercial detection is different than if I watch the show after it has been recorded. Also the format of the XML file is different. When the show is being processed live the XML file is formatted with carriage returns a...

I am using DVRMSToolBox with ComSkip and having problems with leftover files not being deleted. All of the files in my Recorded TV directory are being cleaned up after a show is deleted. But the files created in 'users\public\DVRMSToolBox\CommercialXML' are not being cleaned up. The files extensions...

I haven't had any crashes since I put the 5 minute delay in 3 days ago (18 successful scans). Before that 3 out of 4 would crash. So the delay definitely worked for me.

I think I have found a solution for now. I put a sleep command at the top of the 'Find Commercials In DVRMS' profile and set it for 5 minutes. The last 4 shows have worked correctly.

Is there a way to tell DVRMSToolBox to wait 5 minutes after a show has started recording before starting ComSkip. I believe the Max Wait in the 'Commercial Processing' tab will cause ComSkip to be run after the show stops recording, which is not what I want. I think this would be a temporary solutio...

I am also having this problem.

How do I tell DVRMSToolBox to try and process the file again?
