What am I missing?

Post by TheKingsOfMS »

I'm utilizing the donator beta, dtbaddin, and dvrmstoolbox. I've modified comskip.ini for output_dvrmstb=1. Log files are getting created for each recorded tv program and output_dvrmstb=1 is present in the log. However, no xml file gets created unless I manually drop a show on comskipgui.exe.

Manually removing commercials is working but it does not work automatically. Thoughts?

Verify that all of your settings match the configuration procedure that I posted here:

Thanks for the reply Mike. I saw your posts last night. I believe I followed them exactly but I'll reverify when I get home this evening.

When using dvrmstb it for some reason dumps the commercial files in a dvrmstb directory. Search through there and you'll likely find them.

Mike,

My settings are exactly as yours shown in your screenshots. I'm pretty sure that the trouble lies with dvrmstoolbox since everything works when I drop a file on comskipgui.

I don't really know much about DVRMS Toolbox. I think the stars were perfectly aligned when I was able to get it working. In the "File Watcher" tab, do you have a dot before the extension name in the "Watched Ext" textbox? (.wtv) I have remove all of the other extensions in "Watched Ext" since I made the screenshot. I know only have .wtv in the "Watched Ext" field.
