Multiple Comskip.ini files with DTB???

[woodchuck]

Anyone using multiple comskip.ini's with DVRMS Toolbox? I am having a heck of a time getting CBS shows to process with my generic ini and have a separete one that works great for the CBS channels. I know I can use the ProcessConditionEditor to detect the CBS shows, but I've never tried to create a custom profile inside DVRMS. Any advice before I start hacking away at things?

Edit:
Found this over at DTB. I'm going to tinker around and if I succeed, I will post back more details.

Got it working! If anyone else plans to give this a try, here are the steps to follow:

1) Start DVRMStompegsettings.exe and create a new profile from "Find Commercials in DVRMS file". Name your new profile.
2) In your new profile, remove "Find Commercials in File", but take note of the position it appears in the list.
3) Add a new action by clicking ADD to the right. Pick the plugin named "Durrant.Plugins.ComskipAdvanced"
4) In the context field, enter "ContextFile" and under "Arg Pattern" put "--ini=yourcomskipfile.ini" This ini should exist in the same directory as your comskip.exe and therefore must have a name different than your default name of comskip.ini.
5) I have "Continueoffail" unchecked. Not really sure what that does. Now save your new profile and reposition it to the same location "Find Commercials in File" was in from step 2. Now close out of the DVRMStompegsettings.exe program.
6) You are half way there! Now you just need to go setup your processing conditions to trigger this new processing profile.
7) Run processingconditioneditor.exe. Create a new condition and name it.
8) Pick the profile you created in step 1-5 above out of the picklist.
9) Specify your arguments for your criteria. In my case I set "WM/MediaNetworkAffiliation" to "contain" "CBS". Be sure to test whatever conditions you have set before saving them. It is easy to assume they will work, only to find out later that something was wrong.
9) Save your criteria and be sure to prioritize it properly. It should come before "Every File" but after "Processed files". (By the way, now is a good time to set a condition for skipping copy protected shows as well. Create another criteria with "Create blank commercials file" as the profile and use this argument for your criteria "WM/WMRVContentProtectedPercent is greater than 0" this criteria should be one of the first in your list)
10) Save everything, restart your DTB service and cross your fingers!!! You may want to set verbose=10 in your custom comskip.ini file so you can verify the new profile/conditions are working right!!!

Hi woodchuck,

Can you share your ini file for CBS. I am having problems when they use the logo in there promo commercials.

Thanks

Here you go... I never was able to tune as much as I wanted because of a bug that affected the comskip gui tuner and my recording setup. The tuning GUI would crap out and I had no way to optimize.

EDIT:
Added some additional tweaks from Erik. Oh and STC's feedback below!

^ Probably don't want verbose=10

Any thoughts flying around for a good Discovery ini?
I've tweaked specifically but the odd commercial break manages to get through, due to their weird fade outs and logo displays.

I'd be interested in seeing the comskip ini's you folks are coming up with....mcebuddy allows per task comskip's as well....and I've realized I need some...wilky13 was nice enough to provide a tweaked default and one for abc but I'm finding channels are still giving me issues....cbs with it's "ads" for other shows on it's networks that show up with the logo on them....then you have channels like "bounce" tv and "this" tv that show older programs....they either show their logo all the time or don't have aspect ratio changes because they are showing old programming.....my scripts are not doing well for OTA (over the air) digital tv.....cbs, abc, nbc, fox, bounce tv, thistv and cw....those are the ones I mainly deal with...for bounce and thistv I'm usually recording an old movie that may be 10 years old. It would be nice if someone would provide general "rules of thumb" of how to improve xxx scenario....I'm not on hi speed internet so uploading shows to have help tweaking them isn't really an option for me.

Thanks for the suggestions previously made...I'm working to incorporate your suggestions into my cbs comskip and then depending on how it does may have to try soem of them on other channels.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm having some difficulties getting dvrms to run using my custom comskip ini. Below is the error string I get from the log when trying to process the file.

Scan with Comskip
Getting MetaData
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File not found
at Durrant.Common.lows.GetMetaTags(String DvrmsPath, Boolean showError, MediaInfoDetail miType)
Comskip scan failed: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: path2
Action did not complete successfully
Total Duration = 00:00:01.8121036

Not sure what to do.

Have you setup everything exactly as in post #2?

What OS?
