Comskip Support Forum

Thanks I'll check it out

The log file is generated but the EDL file is missing. At the end of the log file I see "Could not open video codec". Solution: Edit comskip.ini or run ComskipINIEditor. Under the CPU Load Reduction section, change: hardware_decode=( Not Set ) to: hardware_decode=0 If "hardware_decode...

Anyone have a 2014-2015 Aussie INI file that works well with Australian channels? I have one from 2 years ago but it isn't doing too well nowadays. Lots of commercials are not detected anymore. Specifically Sydney but I imaging any state would suffice. Channels 7,9,10 would be ideal. Not fussed abou...

Hi, The variable type is determined by what it finds in comskip.txt Currently it is set to: ticker_tape=0 (0=off / 1=on) ;Use to set the amount of pixels at the bottom of the screen to completely ignore in processing. ;;Usefull when there is a ticker tape or text at the bottom that never disappears....

New link added (tinyupload), thanks.

I have created a Comskip INI Editor to simplify editing the comskip.ini file. It uses the information in comskip.txt to display the description of each option and to determine the default value. Simply place the EXE into your comskip folder. Launch the EXE and it will load the comskip.ini file withi...

I have had ongoing system hangs. I have tried different INI settings but but nothing seems to work. The hangs happen less now but when they do I need to reset the PC to recover. One configuration I didn't try was to start comskip at the start of the recording in MP, I always had it set to trigger at...

I see. Can we add an ini option to specify the buffer size in the next release? Maybe it is too large for SSD's that read at 500MB/s with super fast access times ... way faster than any HDD which max out at about 150MB/s. Perhaps it needs to be re-tuned for todays SSD performance.

Does comskip use a file read buffer where it reads the video from the disk in say 64MB chunks into RAM, or does the comskip processor read directly from disk? It would be great if comskip had an extra file read buffer layer in between the comskip processor and the physical disk. I implemented a read...

Latest comskip build? I'll test it tonight.

If still no luck I'll use Comskip monitored

All good now with the latest build, thanks

I have also noticed this. I have a Core i5 Ivy Bridge (decent CPU!) and I get major freezing when playing back a TS file via DirectShow. It would be great if there was an option to force the processing priority down to the lowest setting. It may be an IO related problem (fast SSD) but still, I would...

Is it possible to set an option to limit comskip to one process at any time? I often have three comskips going at once and it freezes the PC for a minute or more. If I have one comskip process, no freezing. 2 processes may cause intermittent freezing. (Win 8.1) I have a 500MB/sec Samsung SSD which m...

Quick update, Comskip is running and using 2-3% CPU, no more lock ups now.
Thanks again.

I see, ok thanks for the help erik.
