Erik, 63 is working good for priority, but it looks like you added something in 62, that causes compskip to end prematurely for me when doing LiveTV. Temporarily I've gone back to 61. May go back to DTBFilewatcher. I have comskip starting 14 minutes after the start of a program. I also turned lowre...

Well...looks like we may have a winner here using Dirmon2. Here's what I did and a few "gottchas" that may pop up for others: 4 - The configuration is a tad confusing. The Triggers are not exactly obvious. Leave the "Must Exist" flags blank, the variable between Must Exist and M...

Actually, i justs did a rebuild of the PC that is processing commercial skip data, so I discovered the "login as service" issue first hand. On my original build, the user had already been granted permissions to login as service from another issue i was working on. The easy fix is to enter...

I noticed that when using Dirmon2 that my CPU usage went up using 2 instances. If I go into Task Manager, Comskip is running with Normal Priority using Dirmon2. Using DTBFwatcher from DVRMSToolbox, Comskip is using Below Normal Priority. I'm guessing this is because in DVRMSToolbox File watcher, I h...

I tried using Dirmon2. I like the interface and the cleanup functions. When I used it though, it queued up a bunch of shows, but was only running one Comskip instance at a time. DVRMSToolbox Filewatcher will run multiple. Is there any way of doing this with Dirmon2? Yes. Change the resources requir...

What about the live wtv standoff settings? Should I add those to my ini, or does comskip use some default settings for wtv that are good enough?

btw.. for the 2nd question.. I don't think the skipping is happening during the live tv processing. Maybe at the end of the hour, Comskip is analyzing the shows that have ended and is using more CPU or IO at this point, and that is causing my playback to hang? If I wait until 10 minutes past the hou...

I have 2 questions... I am using the latest donator version. In the readme, there are some standoff settings listed for live_tv. I can see them in the comskip.txt file also. I am using WMC/WTV files. Do I need to put these new standoff settings in my INI and set them up for WTV? or does comskip reco...

I think things seem to be going pretty well now. I have replaced Showanalyzer completely with Comskip. I have made the following changes to the default INI in the donator version with help from Erik: shrink_logo=12 Not sure why this helps, but Erik recommended it live_tv=1 for live tv lowres=1 I tri...

I think it is working pretty well. Put that one recording on the ftp site. I'm probably going to switch to Comskip fulltime next week.

I'll post all my settings after I'm done.

ok.. That seems to have helped with the commercial detection.

Any idea why live isn't working?

When I do live I get this:
It only ran for 1 minute.

I'm forwarding my log files.

The files I sent were for a WTV that I dragged and dropped onto Comskip. I noticed that live tv doesn't seem to be working, or I have something set incorrectly. I'm using .56. I just changed the ini to live=1 and DVRMS settings to 1. I have DVRMSToolbox filewatcher set up to start 1 min. I noticed ...
