I cannot keep the FW service running.  I'm running win7 RC with the latest DTB build.  Thoughts?

the error message would be helpful

This is from the event viewer.  Is there something else I can show you?

 In the DVRMSFileWatcher Service in the computer management panel, look at the recovery tab and make all of them say "Restart the Service".

 

Don't bother asking why this happens, the fix is to easy to waste manpower on it.

 

 Yes it is set to restart.  I have many entries in my event log where it will fail, then restar.

Sorry to hijack this thread, since it is in regards to Windows 7, but I have a similar problem but with Vista. DVRMSFileWatcher would run, but after a while, it will stop and an error message would pop up saying DVRMSFilewatcher has stopped working. So all the recorded files won't get commercial detection up to the point where it stopped working. You have to manually click on the program again to run it again in the Start menu. If you try to start it up in the Services menu, it says the DVRMSFileWatcherService service on Local COmputers tarted and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs. I tried to find the error in the event logs, but can't find an error. I'd appreciate any help, thanks.

 you're missing folders in the public\dvrmstoolbox directory, make sure FWLogs and FWJobs exist as sub folders

FWLogs exists and the folder was last modified recently with file names of the most recent recordings. The FWJobs folder is empty (it exists) and the last time it was modified was March 3, 2008. Is that normal? Thanks!!

check your watched folders then...

I checked my watched folders, it does not have FWJobs or FWLogs folders. I checked my DVRMStoMPEGSettings in the Filewatcher tab and the watched folder path is correct. Is this correct for the arguments? /if="{0}" /of="{1}" Also, what items should be checked at the bottom? For instance, what is Recursive Watch? Thanks!!

I just ended up un-installing.  I was getting errors on the add-in as well.  Family didn't care for that too much.  Bummer, since it was so successful on xp.

 

Maybe I'll try another install just to start fresh.
