DVRMS fails: Cannot write to a closed TextWriter

Post by asfqcq »

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 14:30:53.83 : FW Begin Process N:\Recorded TV\This Week With George Stephanopoulos_WSBDT_2022_05_22_11_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()

Here's a link to my log files: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlatI452SGdSgRNxfMHZ9GF3694j?e=y68rA5
