Is comskip setup to generate the output file dvrsmstoolbox expects?
I see you enable vprj output but I am not sure if that is what dvrmstoolbox expects

I added "output_dvrmstb=1" to comskip.ini and that generated the XML file that DTB expects.

I think you need both of these in comskip.ini

output_dvrmstb=1
dvrmsstandoff=120000

The output_dvrmstb=1 was enough for me.

It seems to me a lot of people ask this same question over and over. Maybe it would be an idea for Erik to put output_dvrmstb=1 in the comskip.ini file and just set it to 0 with a REM saying "If you're running DVRMS-Toolbox set this to 1"

Just my .02c :mrgreen:

I agree that would have been very helpful. I wouldn't have needed to ask if I seen that.

Good stuff! I told you it would be popular now that WTV support is there! ;)

Yeah, the second line might have been deprecated at some point...

That has become the default value.

I only want to say thanks to Erik. I'm trying your latest donators version (81_023) and it is superb. It scans ok all my wtv files and the accuracy is near perfect. Good job!!!

Will it be possible that we can see in a near future live_tv?

Regards and thanks for your hard work!!

Can not guarantee near future but the basic framework is done.

Ok Erik. Thanks for all!

Maybe, if live_tv is difficult, another possibility can be that comskip detects if the wtv file is finished or not and makes a pause waiting for the end of the record.

Now, some programs like DVRMSToolbBox make this taking a look at the size of the file, but it is very difficult to do in this way. Windows takes a long buffer for wtv files. The size of the buffer changes (5 min, 10 min, 20 min, 25 min...) so we cannot never know if the record has finished or not.

live_tv will be the perfect solution, but any other solution that pauses the processing using another system (like scan metadata or something similar) can be very helpful too...

Only an idea...

Regards!
