The workaround I used was to shift the comskip processing to the end of recording rather than the start.
I'm assuming here that ETVComskip is already installed and that you've already swapped in the donators version. (I'm still on Snow Leopard so /Library is visible. I don't know the status of ETVComskip with Lion, but you'll have to jump through the hidden /Library folder hoops if you are running Lion.)
I suggest making a copy of these two scripts first to make it easy to go back.
/Library/Application Support/EyeTV/Scripts/TriggeredScripts/RecordingStarted.scpt
/Library/Application Support/EyeTV/Scripts/TriggeredScripts/RecordingDone.scpt
Open both scripts in AppleScript Editor (double click works fine).
In RecordingStarted, comment out one line (or both if you prefer) near the top of the script by preceding it with two dashes (hyphens).
Code: Select all
set cmd to "/usr/bin/nice -n 2 '/Library/Application Support/ETVComskip/MarkCommercials.app/Contents/MacOS/MarkCommercials' --log " & recordingID & " &> /dev/null &"
-- do shell script cmd
Code: Select all
on RecordingDone(recordingID)
set cmd to "/usr/bin/nice -n 2 '/Library/Application Support/ETVComskip/MarkCommercials.app/Contents/MacOS/MarkCommercials' --log " & recordingID & " &> /dev/null &"
do shell script cmd
set LogMsg to ""
CheckMultiplePIDs(recordingID)
…
Note: I have modified my scripts in a number of ways, including the above. I did not go back to the default scripts to test these instruction. Please let me know if I missed something.
Cheers
