dawsocj (edited)-&amp;quot;Hi there - not sure if anyone else has a problem or not, but I installed (successfully) 1008 onto my new W7 MCE x64 but when I start Media Center, about 5 seconds later, the Addin stops working. I checked the ehexthost_7960 file for logs, but I see only a bunch of dashes on the first line?

Any ideas? &amp;quot;

I have these set to &amp;quot;s&amp;quot; for on and off, and &amp;quot;n,b&amp;quot; for forward and back. In most situations, the add-in continues to automatically skip commercials. The skipping forward and back never works, while the skipping on and off will periodically fail (and not work again until media center is restarted). I haven&amp;#39;t figured out exactly what causes toggle on and off to break but it might be watching a show with no commercial files.

According to powecfg -lastwake, the Process that is waking my machine after about 2 minutes is the wake timer associated with DVRMStoMPEG.exe. So I open the config for DVRMS and locate the check box for &amp;quot;Prevent Standby&amp;quot; under the Processing tab. As I do not want my machine to wake up to process commercials I would like to uncheck the box. However when I save it and return to the setting it is checked again. As mentioned I am admin, there shouldnt be a reason that I cannot change this option.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The only way that I can keep my system asleep is by disabling all sleep timers via Windows advanced power config.

This text file is the one that starts with &amp;quot;FILE PROCESSING COMPLETE&amp;quot; according to the FAQ
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Q. How do I get rid of the .txt files that are created in the output directory (The file begins with &amp;quot;FILE PROCESSING COMPLETE&amp;quot;)?
A. Those files are created by Show Analyzer by default, follow these steps:
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Go to: Start &amp;gt; Dragon Global &amp;gt; Show Analyzer &amp;gt; Configure ShowAnalyzer
Under settings, find where it says GB-PVR or SageTV
Under that, there should be setting called &amp;quot;When to Create&amp;quot; change it to Never.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
http://babgvant.com/Wiki/view.aspx/DVRMSToolbox#Most FAQ (other [ available)
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The problem is I don&amp;#39;t even have Show Analyzer installed. I am using the donation version of ComSkip. Is there an option somewhere that I can disable creation of this file? 
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Things I have tried
I have automatic cleanup enabled which will remove the XML file in the same directory however it ignores this file even with txt included in the cleanup extension list.
I have every output/verbose option disabled except for the XML file used by DVRMSToolbox in the comskip.ini and comskip.txt
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Could this have something to do with the &amp;quot;Cleanup Frequency&amp;quot;? I set it down to 1 and it still has not removed any of the left over .txt files.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks for any input.</description></item><item><title>Setup using donator version of comskip</title><link>http://babgvant.com/forums/thread/22068.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 24 Apr 2013 19:00:24 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">21093a07-8b3d-42db-8cbf-3350fcbf5496:22068</guid><dc:creator>davidbecht01</dc:creator><slash:comments>3</slash:comments><comments>http://babgvant.com/forums/thread/22068.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://babgvant.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=5&amp;PostID=22068</wfw:commentRss><description>Over the last several months I have been having problems with Showanalyzer so I thought I would give comskip a go on my new system build.  I purchased the donator version so it would work on my wtv files and now I am trying to get things working.  My goal is to set it up so that the commercial files (.xml) are located in the Recorded TV folder along with the wtv files and for that matter any other files that are generated for each wtv file.  That way when the wtv file is deleted, all the other files are deleted.  Also, I think programs like RecordedTVHD like to have the xml files in the same directory as the wtv file.  

Unfortunately, I am running into a problem when I try to set this up.  First I installed Dvrmstoolbox without Showanalyzer selecting it to setup the DTBWatcher as a  service.  Then I am supposed to copy certain files from the donators version of comskip into the applications directory under dvrmstoolbox.  My first question is what files should I copy over.  Secondly, other than changing the flag to one because I am working with dvrmstoolbox, are there any other changes I should make.  

As soon as I install dvrmstoolbox, it starts processing my Recorded TV directory producing txt and vih files in my Recorded TV directory and a bunch of txt, edl and xml files in various directories under the dvrmstoolbox folder under the public folder on drive C.  When I try to go into the settings program, and change the commercial file directory to Recorded TV, the creation of xml files seems to stop alltogether.  I can see the dvrmstoolbox service running, and it still generates txt files and vih files in the Recorded TV directory and under the dvrmstoolbox directory.  However, I don&amp;#39;t see the comskip program running anymore.  I looked at some of the files and it seems to be indicating that it can&amp;#39;t create the edl file and that it processed teh file and found no commercials.

What am I doing wrong?</description></item><item><title>Convert .wtv to .mp4 back to .wtv - Need help writing profile</title><link>http://babgvant.com/forums/thread/17011.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 08 May 2010 21:53:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">21093a07-8b3d-42db-8cbf-3350fcbf5496:17011</guid><dc:creator>isomerize</dc:creator><slash:comments>7</slash:comments><comments>http://babgvant.com/forums/thread/17011.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://babgvant.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=5&amp;PostID=17011</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;First off, the reason I&amp;#39;d want to do this is to keep the native metadata from the original .wtv file, but convert&amp;nbsp;from mpeg-2 to mp4 in order to save space.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;ve been trying to do this for a while and can get up to the point of an mp4 or mkv&amp;nbsp;file using a single&amp;nbsp;profile, but that&amp;#39;s where I&amp;#39;m getting stuck.&amp;nbsp; I don&amp;#39;t know much about video editing, so I was hoping someone could help me.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I&amp;#39;m not sure how to manipulate the &amp;quot;context&amp;quot; items and frankly I&amp;#39;m just unclear as to what they are and what&amp;#39;s happening when i manipulate them.&amp;nbsp; I also am completely lost on how to write or&amp;nbsp;interpret regex.&amp;nbsp; In particular, the workflow I&amp;#39;m trying to achieve is 1) rename files, 2) convert to dvr-ms, 3) convert to .mp4, 4) convert to .wtv, and 5) copy metadata from dvr-ms to final .wtv file, 6) and then delete originalk .wtv and dvr-ms files.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;m pretty sure these .wtv files won&amp;#39;t be recognized in the &amp;quot;recorded tv&amp;quot; view in media center, but I should be able to&amp;nbsp;view them in Media Browser with metadata.&lt;/p&gt;

The system marked the commercials flawlessly and created the xml files.  I was going to create a profile to convert the .wtv files to .dvr-ms, then cut the commercials, then convert the files to either wmv, mpeg or mkv, whichever format worked best.  I would like to add them as a series into the MyMovies interface.

I have not had much luck in creating my own profile so I tried to break the process down to smaller steps.  I didn&amp;#39;t see a profile to convert my files from wtv so I used the windows 7 wtvconverter to do that.  Second, I used the profile &amp;quot;Cut Out Commercials, Convert to WMV&amp;quot; profile.  It created a dvr-ms file in the DTBTemp directory but the converter failed.  Also, I noticed that if I try to play the dvr-ms file in media center it doesn&amp;#39;t work but I can play it in the Windows Media Player.  The uncut file plays fine.

I am using  the 1.2.2.6 version of the toolbox.

Is there something I am doing wrong?  Can I convert WTV files from within the toolbox?  What format would you suggest which offers really good picture and sound quality but with lower file size requirements than wtv?  Lastly, can I write a profile to do all of this so I can do it in the future as well?


Thanks,
Dave

The file watcher is still trying to process files, the logs keep growing bigger and bigger for any of the new files. A few are just over 200k now because they&amp;#39;re just stuck in the loop.

I&amp;#39;m not really sure what to do here. No settings had been changed prior to the failures.

It&amp;#39;s driving me nuts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;e.g. for a well-known Florida-based scientific crime drama series 10 episode 1&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I use the &amp;#39;-v&amp;#39; option yielding the below trace:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; [exec] Using following file as the target Metadata XML file: D:&lt;br /&gt;\tmp\tv\mkv\XXXXXXXXXXXXX.s10e01.720p.x264.mkv.xml&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; [exec] Using input parameter as regular expression: (?&amp;lt;series&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;+)\.[s,S](?&amp;lt;season&amp;gt;\d+)[e,E](?&amp;lt;episodenbr&amp;gt;\d+)\.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; [exec] Metadata provided by thetvdb.com&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; [exec] Found APIKey.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; [exec] Found Series Name&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; [exec] Retreived Series Info&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; [exec] Unable to find Episode in TvDB Database.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; [exec] Action did not complete successfully&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; [exec] Total Duration = 00:00:04.4301444&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
