[QUOTE="gtfreymann, post: 870830, member: 114733"] Last night I tried to fiddle with Show Anaylzer as I had purchased that a while ago for use with other software. It's old and doesn't look like it's supported anymore. So today I figured I would tinker with the ComSkip problem some more. I have gone here: [url]http://www.kaashoek.com/files/[/url] and downloaded some of the later zip files. *80_042.zip was what I was using. So I installed *80_041.zip, recorded a 30 minute show. Nothing happened. No comskip launch so the TV Server process didn't die. Not remembering if I restarted the TV Service or not, I decided to go ahead and try *80_041.zip. This time I for sure stopped and restarted the TV-Service. Then I picked at random a short 30 minute tv program. Sure enough, the logs show it launches comskip and then nothing else appears in the log until I load up the TV-SERVER program, at which time it says the tv-server service isn't running. I've attached the lot segment from the beginning of the recording right up to the launch to comskip. I will continue to pick 30 minute shows and keep trying different versions of comskip until this works. I guess if it doesn't, I will be forced to manually run comskip every time a show records, which is silly when this should be a very basic feature of any PVR software. What about using DirMon to launch comskip instead of auto firing it through the tv-server config? Would that work? [/QUOTE]
