Comskip Support Forum

I've tried it with both h.264 video in the .ts container, and MPEG-2 video in the MPG container. Is there a type of video that is suggested? If so, I could try converting the video and then tuning.

I have the exact same problem. All HDPVR recordings fail with SageTV 7. What's interesting is comskip 0.80.027 works. However, when I tried 0.80.028, 0.80.029, 0.80.030, and 0.80.031 they all gave the same error. I'm not sure that it's truly a SageTV7 problem, When I was using SageTV6 I was using co...

I'm trying to tune Comskip for a few of my shows. I'm following the instructions in the tuning.htm file. When Comskip is scanning for commercials I see the video displayed in the debugwindow. However, after the scanning is complete I try to use the debug window to check the black frames, etc and the...

Thank you! It does appear to be better, however, I still had one recording that returned an error. I need to test it on more shows, however, so far I would say that version 6 is a big improvement.

I've been using Comskip 0.80.003 to process my h.264 files and have very good success. However, every once in a while I run into a show that Comskip "dies" while trying to process. It seems to always die in the same place and I don't see anything really useful in the logs (I have logging s...

I did some testing with this and I think it is working. I still get the message Audio Error on some ATSC recordings, but I think it is reading the correct stream with the AC3 audio. Below is a link to the logs. Could you look at them and let me know if it is working correctly? http://home.mchsi.com/...

Great job! I'll look for release 111 later this week. Thanks for working on this so quickly.

Sorry, this makes sense... Thanks for the clarification.

If I use HideRun.exe with the new output path, the output command line arg doesn't get passed to Comskip.exe Below is an example of the command line I used. Example HideRun "c:\comskip\comskip.exe" "c:\video\recordings\news.dvr-ms" "c:\Program Files\DVRMSToolBox\CommercialsX...

I just uploaded a sample to the ftp site. It's in the folder "audio issue with DVRMS". The filename is test.dvr-ms.

Thanks for your help.

You are absolutely correct… I’m really new to Comskip so I didn’t pay attention to this action. Thanks, this will make it much easier.

Erik, thank you for all your hard work on this. Now with version 110 we can use the keyword output_dvrmstb=1 to output the native Dtb format. For those that are interested below are some of the keywords needed to make this work. output_dvrmstb=1 live_tv=1 live_tv_retries=120 Also, to make the XML fi...

The command actually doesn't go into the .ini file. It is just apart of the command line. For example: comskip.exe show.dvr-ms "c:\program files\DVRMSToolbox\CommercialsXML" If you want to use this as part of DVRMSToolBox you won't be able to use the "find commercials" action. Yo...

I have one ATSC channel where the AC3 audio is being detected by Comskip as MP2 audio. I use Microsoft Media Center so Comskip is reading the DVR-MS format. It's interesting that it only happens on one channel and the only unique thing I can see about the streams from this channel is the fps is 59.9...

I'm also interested in this. I’ve been using ShowAnalyzer for a long time, but it doesn’t seem to do as well on HD content as ComSkip. However the “live commercial detection” feature is something I really miss. I tested ComSkip live commercial detection and it does seem to generate the .txt file whi...
