Comskip ini files

[Doubledose]

Does anyone have good working comskip ini files you would share? With my new build I downloaded the latest donators version and it does not look to be working real well. Thought I would ask before starting from scratch doing tuning on it.
Thanks

I tried this, but could not get good results on my setup
Thanks

Here's the ini that I have been using for years. Currently using it with donator build 0.82.003. 0.82.004 was the last one that supports Windows 7 but on the donator download site, it jumps from 0.82.003 to 0.82.007.

Haven't had a problem with it.

I compared mine to the latest 0.82.010 default ini and here is what I had changed:

0.82.010

Mine

I added the last ones after looking at the comskip.txt file.

Thanks for the info. I had downloaded 0.082.010 and been trying to make it work. I just downloaded your ini and will see how it works.
Thanks

Just to make sure...

You did change your comskip plugin to point to your donator version, correct?

On my server, I put my donator version in C:\Comskip

Then in the comskip plugin you set your:

exe to C:\Comskip\comskip.exe
ini to C:\Comskip\comskip.ini

Don't just copy your donator version into the directory where the non-donator build was at. Create your own directory for it.

[Doubledose]

Yes, That is what I did. That is the way I had it on my old machine.
Thanks
