    This is the official DTb forum, so I would repost at least a description over here.

    Re: DVRMSToolbox Error..

    Stopped working a couple of weeks ago, and now I am trying to find out why.  I have reinstalled DVRMSToolbox and Showanalyzer to the latest versions, but this is the log that I get when a new recording is placed into the directory.  Note: Using showanalzer manual and pointing it to the file works...

    This is the only other log that I will post.  I posted this one because I noticed that this time it did not say that there had been an error with an external component after commercial detection...

    No help???  Please, I have exhausted all possibilities that I can think of.  I have one more thing to add; when I reinstalled DVRMSToolbox, I have a new error popping up.  I am getting a box that pops up saying that DVRMSToolbox unexpectedly quit.  Any clues?

    Here is a new xml file that was created just this morning (YES, it is actually just the one line...)

    <root />

    and that is it for the xml file...  Here is one of the FW log files, I notice that now I am getting ANOTHER error, even though I didn't change anything.

    One last thing, every time I start media center now, it tells me that it can not start the Media Center Commercial Skip, and that it is an invalid application...

    Re: DVRMSToolbox Error..

    i don't see anything strange in the config... there are several thread on troubleshooting the addin, the best place to start is the wiki topic on that subject.

    does comskip work on your computer?

    Re: DVRMSToolbox Error..

    First thing I tried was the wiki...  Didn't help.  Comskip does not work...

    Re: DVRMSToolbox Error..

    for troubleshooting the addin the wiki is meant as a starting point, enabling log files is the best place to start, and I can have a look at those.

    have you tried using system restore to go back to when it worked?
