ComSkipMonitored TvServer Plugin | Page 2

Hi,

I've just tested Beta 2.0, the good news is: quote-handling now seems to work properly.
The command line in your plugins config is set to: {0} -d

Log says:

and ComSkip comes up & starts working, which takes us to the bad news: the DOS window is still visible. Also, when MP runs fullscreen, switching between MP's and ComSkips' windows didn't go smoothly. (but as you said in 3.: it shouldn't be there at all)

For the "restart tv-server to update plugin config"-issue: this also seems to apply to the other settings (at least to comskips executable path and plugin command line)
If this can't be avoided, you could handle it the way it is done in TvCard section (detect changes, if there are any, fire yes/no prompt, on yes, do the service restart yourself)

Hi there,

What does the -t option do??

Hi Phe & Jay_UK

Actually the command line argument should default to "{0} -t". I suspect that yours says "{0} -d" since it has stored the previous value you had it set to. I am confused though that the log file lines below seem to show a "-t" argument being used which don't match your "-d".

Jay_UK, I use "-t" argument since the Comskip manual say's the following "-t, --ts The input file is a Transport Stream"

Disappointed about this as mine seems to be hidden as I'd expected. I will go back and have another look.

I agree. I will have this sorted as soon as possble.

Thanks for the feedback

sorry, I mixed up the command line switches in my previous post; everything is alright.

Also, I had another recording that went smoothly this time (comskip window remained in the background)

-phe-

Great news, thanks for the update Phe, I must admit that I'm quite relieved.

Now, on to making those changed values a little more dynamic... (as soon as I've finished installing my new projector screen)

Hi all
New version v1.2.x of ComSkipMonitored available here:

http://www.team-mediaportal.com/index.php?option=com_mtree&task=att_download&link_id=214&cf_id=24

This version allows updates to the Max Processes and Check for MTN values to be made via TV Server configuration without needing to restart the TvService.

I had installed the new Version. I Tried it with the Testbutton. unfortunately i didn't work.
In TV.log i found this: '2012-04-23 19:04:47.269200 [SetupTv(1)]: ComSkipMonitored - LaunchProcess: C:\comskip80_042\comskip.exe ""D:\Recording\SOKO Köln\SOKO Köln - ZDF - 2012-01-25_1.ts"" -t '.
I think this is a problem like from phe.

Hi Harryzwo

Sorry for the delay. Right now I can't quite work out why your log looks so different to mine, hopefully I'll have something for you soon. In the meantime since the test function is quite separate from the main comskip calling mechanism, you may find that the rest of it works ok?

No, it doesn't work. There is always the doubleQuote-Problem.

There is a new version 1.2.x.2 available via the download link on the main page. This version has slightly better logging and handling of quotes in file paths (hopefully). Would you mind seeing if this resolves the issues you have been having.

Also there is no need for "{0}" in the params. Will be ignored if present.
Thanks
