Comskip Support Forum

I am trying to trouble shoot a problem with Comskip crashing. I have enabled logging with Verbose = 10, but looking at the log doesn't reveal anything useful the log file is only 20 line or so long


Posting the log, I just noticed that my version is old. Will install the latest and monitor from there.

Just upgraded. Comskip still crashes on the one .TP file. I changed to verbose=10 but the log file really didn't change much.

Take Care.

Is your upload speed high enough to upload the recording?
I only need the first 100 MByte, you can abort after that.

I can upload 100mb without a problem. Where should I upload?

The recording has corrupt data at the start causing the decoder to think there is an video size change and the mutithreaded decoder can not handle that
Try to set
thread_count=1
and retest

I left the threading at 2 hoping the the problem repeats itself. These recording are coming from an HDHomeRun. If I can get it too repeat, hopefully SiliconDust will be able to pinpoint the causse of the corruption.

I have several recordings where I can get Comskip to abort when threading is set to 2 or more.
Not need to have this proven.
What you could to is run comskipGUI on the crashing file so you can see in the logginh window the error messages from the decoder stating that frame size changes are not imlemented with the multi threaded decoder

If I run the video with ComskipGUI, comskipGUI typically crashes and I get a not responding error. I was not able to confirm the error you mention.

Could you run comskip like this

c:\path\to\comskip.exe d:\path\to\file.mpg >stdout.log 2>stderr.log

and send me both stderr.log and stdout.log?

Here is stderr

stdout is simple


Here is the regular log file

stderr says
So you should set thread_count=1 like mentioned in the faq.

I have it now set to thread_count=1 and after running some tests, confirmed that that works. I will be working with Silicondust to determine why the file is gettign corrupted. When BeyondTV trys to play the video file, playback stops and I ahev to click on the skip button to move forward 30sec for playback to resume. I am guessing it is the same issue.

Thanks for the support.

Take Care.

Well, not sure its corrupted, can the Silicondust create files with switching video resolution?
If not there is a indeed a corruption.
