Comskip Support Forum

Hi There has been a long term problem that comskip doesn't work with MediaPortal TV Server and live recordings. I believe the problem involves comskip reaching the end of the live recording and thinking that the recording has finished; so it prematurely stops analysing the file. Is there any chance ...

thanks, i didn't realise comskip could output xml mkvmerge supports .xml, .csv , .txt format for chapter files, but can't read the .txt produced by comskip. I will try .xml is there a way to get comskip to run quickly to produce the xml on a file that is already fully processed by comskip and has an...

I installed python but I get this error when i run your script

D:\TV RECORDINGS\TV3\3 News>convert.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\TV RECORDINGS\TV3\3 News\convert.py", line 86, in <module>
mp4chaps_all_m4v(str(sys.argv[1]))
IndexError: list index out of range

Any chance you can compile this for users who don't have python installed? (me )

On further reading csv is probably not a chapter file for use with mkv. When I use handbrake to encode my .ts recording it asks for a chapter file and the format is *.csv Basically I want to create mkvs of my .ts recordings with chapter markers for the commercial breaks I do not want to remove the c...

Hi I have a lot of recordings .ts with associated .edl chapter markers. I was wanting to compress these using handbrake. Ideally I'd like to use the chapter markers from the edl file, however handbrake only imports .csv files Is there a way to convert the edl into csv format? I tried re-running coms...

Hi

According to readme.txt in the comskip donators folder, the latest version is comskip 0.81.053

However in the donators folder, the latest file is .052

Hi Erik Is there any difference in the final result if we run comskip during a recording vs after it has finished. Jagad said that in his experience the comskip results were poor during his recording, but it was a lot better in the final result. Does comskip re-process a file at the end of a live re...

This for changes will try story mediaportal live recordings and see if it works

MP TV-SERVER RECORDING: Data Modified and Date Created (as seen in windows explorer) are set to the time and date of the start of the recording. Data modified remains static during the recording, but does get updated at the end of the recording. If comskip wanted to it could just keep trying to proc...

thanks, I guess I incorrectly assumed that it was working with live ts recordings via media portal. I'm happy to provide testing.

Sorry I should of written that I am using Mediaportal TV Server 1.2 EDIT: and i'm recording DVB-T H264 Progressive Video, saved as mpeg transport stream (I think it's 480P, but I'd have to double check) EDIT2: Also with the help of someone else we will be updating the comskip launcher plugin for tvs...

ok I seem to be unable to get comskip to work on live recordings. It looks like it stops after only a couple of minutes of processing. The logs show no errors, it's as though it thinks the recording has finished. I am using "comskip -t -d 79 recording.ts" on a live recording I have the fol...

I did a test where I processed a file during a recording then reprocessed the same file using the exact same settings when the recording finished the process during recording detected 1x add at 1:30 reprocessing with the same settings detected 3x adds I have a feeling that comskip is finishing the p...

I have comskip currently set to process a file while it is being recorded. I am using livetv=1 in the comskip.ini file. The readme file mentions that ;This will enable the output of commercial information during the processing allowing the skipping of detecting commercials before the processing is f...
