Build 111: Realtime DVR-MS processing is confirmed working

Post by erik »

It is now possible to use Comskip for processing while recording dvr-ms files

You must set in your comskip.ini file
live_tv=1
live_tv_retries=300

The large amount of retries is needed because of the very particular way dvr-ms files are written. This will cause comskip to do nothing for 2 minutes at the end of the recording, this is normal behavior, be patient.
Therefore you should only set the large amount of retries when processing dvr-ms recordings

Next to this there have been some small but relevant improvements.
Changes in 0.79.111
- Bug solve: On certain dvr-ms recordings audio decoding fails resulting in a lot of "Audio error" messages.
Changes in 0.79.110
- Added the output file for DVRMS Toolbox, enable with output_dvrmstb=1 in the ini file. A second commandline parameter can be used to specify the directory where the dvrmstb xml file should be written. Setting live_tv=1 will also have this xml file updated during scanning.
Changes in 0.79.109
- Improved the blackframe detection during live_tv processing

I actually had those retries ticking in the beginning of recorded DVR-MS (i.e. not live) when comskip is processing it.

Would that be... good or bad? :wink:

Its not bad, but it takes time.
don't know yet how to avoid it.
But if you know its not real-time than use a comskip.ini without the large live_tv_retries
