comskip and SageMC

[TallMomof2]

I'm running the next to the latest SageMC. Also running latest comskip and comskip monitor. In SageMC there are comskip options. There's one for ignoring channels. How do you set this for multiple channels? Do you use a comma "," or a semi-colon ";" to separate the channel numbers? I've tried both but comskip still doesn't ignore those channels. I have many commercial-free HD movie channels and don't need to waste processor cycles on those files.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You have to stop using comskip monitor and set up SageMC to call the comskip program. I'm not positive on how to do that but SageMC and comskip monitor don't talk so your settings in SageMC won't have any effect on what programs get analyzed.

Thanks, I've already uninstalled the Comskip Monitor since I couldn't figure how to get it to stop processing all my movies (no commercials).

I followed Brent's instructions over at GeekTonic and installing Comskip Monitor is part of the process. You don't need to install Comskip Playback if you're running SageMC.

Help, anyone?

Those options in SageMC are from a long time ago when SageMC would run the executable for you. Most or all of those don't work as far as I know. The only program I know that does commercial skip and can be configured to ignore actual channels is Showanalyzer being used in concert with the neilm's Sage Webserver.

You could also use Sage Job Queue or DVRMS Toolbox.
