DVRMS fails: Cannot write to a closed TextWriter

The problem is: DVRMS Toolbox fails to trigger ComSkip. DVRMS logs are filled with "PW Exit System.ObjectDisposedException: Cannot write to a closed TextWriter." Manual Comskip (drag and drop) works great. What am I missing here?

====================================================================
New, clean Windows 11, Windows media center, Comskip Donor edition 0.82.012, DVRMSToolbox1227

WMC records TV shows and creates the .WTV file. Then nothing happens. The DVRMS log includes:

2022/05/22 14:30:53.83 : FW Begin Process N:\Recorded TV\11Alive News - The Reveal_WXIADT_2022_05_22_10_00_00.wtv

2022/05/22 14:31:01.85 : PW Exit System.ObjectDisposedException: Cannot write to a closed TextWriter.
at System.IO.__Error.WriterClosed()
