Hey Hotshot79, Hope you're still following the forums. Some how I managed to get this working again....but not sure why it makes a difference...give it a try and let me know if it works for you as well. Step 1: Go to DVRMSToolboxSettings - I have Comskip as perfered analyzer, and I click "Scan for commercials" at the bottom Step 2: Click the FileWatcher tab - I make sure Output and Watched directories are in the \\Server\ etc. Step 3: Click the Commercial Skip tab - Commercial Path is also \\Server\ etc. Step 4: Click the Processing tab - Delay processing is set to FindCommercials and for Dection Profile is set to Find Commercials in DVR-MS, Click SAVE. Step 5: In Start Menu -> DVRMSToolbox folder, click on DVRMSFilewatcher and make sure it shows up in your system tray. That's all I did and now it's detecting commercials again on recorded tv shows on my windows home server. However, DVRMSFIleWatcher refuses to run for too long... (less than a day) and Vista will give me an error message saying that it has Stopped Working.

I have no idea, never tried to make it work properly on WHS.

Should work perfectly on Vista w/o crazy hacks

babgvant:
you don't need ffdshow for anything btw.
you should be able to pull sbe.dll, quartz.dll, qasf.dll, etc off an xp machine run regsvr32 on them and have it work, but I've never tried it so I don't know if it will or destroy your WHS.

asides from sbe.dll, quartz.dll, qasf.dll, what else do you need to run regsvr32? I assume this is also for vista as well? I still can't get dtb to work again ever since i changed the recorded tv path to that on my whs. so frustrating!!

I don't know how to make it work on WHS either, never tried to set it up (my WHS is a VM).

So if its not FFD show that I need can you point me in the right direct for the files/programs that I doo need? I'm not being lazy I've googled directshow and stream buffer endine - im just not sure what I'm supposed to install....

you can process files on WHS from a PC, but you may want to do the processing on the PC and use DTB to move it post processing.

Hmmmm....I thought FFDshow had the Directshow filters?....
I've downloaded and regsrv32 the .dll's that you mentioned but still no joy. I've installed PowerDVD and still nothing. I keep getting the same codec error....I can't play a DVR-MS files on the server geez.....
Any more suggestions would be greatly apperciated!
I'll post something once I do get it to work with the settings that I've used...

ffdshow is a directshow filter, it doesn't provide the underlying framework.

Thanks for the advice. Just to clarify, my VMC is on my desktop computer which records to my WHS. Before I switched the recorded TV folder to WHS, DVRMSToolbox worked fine. I thought my desktop computer would still process the recordings the same way, only the recordings are now on the server instead. Is this possible? Thanks!

Thanks for the response.

I've installed FFDShow but where can find if WHS has the streambufferengine installed and if it does not where can I find it to download it>

THanks again for your awsome software and your help!!

dtb makes extensive use of directshow and the streambufferengine. you need to ensure that both are installed and working on WHS.

Has nobody got this to work? If anyone can help I'd really aperciate it!! I've been using the software for so long now that I have the WHS (I know im lazy but that's why we're all here) it sucks having to fast forward through the commercials....

Any suggestions would be apperciated!

I'm in a similar situation as you however I've configured my VMC to record directly to WHS. I also can't get DVRMSToolbox to auto-process or manually process the recorded shows. I'd also appreciate it if someone can help us find a solution to this. Thanks!!
