[QUOTE="elliottmc, post: 1034442, member: 14268"] Good news! Trying another recording this morning, and the .edl, .xml and .txt files are all being updated while the recording is in progress. 90210 - E4+1 - 2013-10-18 - 7_25 AM.edl [code] 421.08 475.92 0 [/code] 90210 - E4+1 - 2013-10-18 - 7_25 AM.xml [code] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <root> <commercial start="421.080000" end="475.920000" /> </root> [/code] 90210 - E4+1 - 2013-10-18 - 7_25 AM.txt [code] 10527 11898 [/code] Obviously this is good news, because we can in principle use the .txt or .edl files and not need to mess with the .xml file. What I don't yet know is if changing to output_dvrmstb=0 ; this tells comskip to output an xml commercial file will still do this. The problem is that when I play the recording, I see the following in the logs [code] [2013-10-18 07:43:58,719] [Log ] [MPMain ] [INFO ] - g_Player.Play(rtsp://SERVER:554/158ABA34 Recording) [2013-10-18 07:43:58,738] [Log ] [MPMain ] [DEBUG] - PlayerFactory: Successfully created player instance for file - rtsp://SERVER:554/158ABA34 [2013-10-18 07:43:58,741] [Log ] [MPMain ] [DEBUG] - g_Player.LoadChapters() - Automatic ComSkip mode is off. [2013-10-18 07:43:58,742] [Log ] [MPMain ] [WARN ] - g_Player.LoadChapters() - Invalid chapter file [/code] and no comskip markers are shown (this is on a multiseat client). I am guessing it is looking at the .txt file and this does not have the expected format at this stage. So, all looking good, and I am sure this can be fixed, but IMO not yet ready for 1.6.0.
