Comskip no longer runs

[shatter]

Hi,

I recently noticed that comskip no longer detected any commercials in my recordings over the last week or so even though the recording had the CS logo on it. I had been running build 34 of the donator version of comskip on Sage 7.0.18. When I went in to manually set comskip to run, it would not initiate a run. I had been using the plugin that allows you to set times comskip would not run so I cleared those out without getting comskip to run and ended up removing the plugin completely.

Since then I have upgraded to build 35 of the donator version of comskip and have upgraded to Sage 7.0.20 but still I can't get comskip to run when pressing the Run Comskip button for a recording. I have tried multiple recordings without any success. This had been working great for a few weeks and I haven't changed anything with my system beyond the normal windows xp patches that microsoft puts out.

Any ideas what to check? I turned comskip debugging on in the sagetv setup settings for comskip but no comskip files appear in the recordings directory which makes me think comskip isn't launching at all. I put the comskip files in the c:\program files\sagetv\sagetv\comskip directory and even copied them into the c:\program files\sagetv\sagetv\commericaldetector\comskip directory to be extra safe.

UPDATE: I found that the comskip.cmd file at C:\Program Files\SageTV\SageTV\STVs\SageTV7\Externals pointed to a different directory. It was pointing to C:\Program Files\ComskipMonitor\comskip\ instead of C:\Program Files\SageTV\SageTV\comskip
But I am not getting the CS logo to appear on screen in sage while comskip is running. Any idea how to get that to show up again?

Thanks,
Chad

Chad,

If you are using CommercialDetector please attach a log for me to look at. Make sure the loglevel is set to Trace.

Check to make sure the CommercialDetector UI Mod is installed. If it's not manual detection will not work.

Well, a couple of plugin uninstalls and reboots of Sage and everything appears to be working again. The CS logo shows up on the screen when running comskip and so forth. I am going to let it run out and see if does the commercial detection correctly and report back.

Thanks
