Comskip Playback for v7

[toricred]

Is there a reason that this plugin is now a desktop only plugin? The previous version is working fine on my extender and the plugin manager now shows it as installed, update available, and not compatible with the reason being Desktop Only.

Toricred,

I went to my server and it upgraded there, then my extender was upgraded.

Unfortunately I can't do that as my server is a headless whs server and won't run the client unless I reduce the java heap significantly. I believe the problem is that the manifest was accidentally set up wrong. I'm hoping the author will fix it.

Does anyone still use the Run Comskip settings? JREKiwi, would it be possible to actually split these functions out to a separate plugin, as it seems to cause a lot of confusion to new users (or really, possibly just remove them in general, if no one really uses them)

Just a thought...

I noticed that too and fixed in 2.0.1

Only due to misreading the Plugin Developers guide. Fixed in 2.0.1

I use them all the time, but I've change the default to it being disabled in 2.0.1

New version works great! Thanks.

[toricred]

Version 2.0.1 fixed the desktop only issue. I figured the problem was in the manifest. Is that the same issue with the Favorite Excluder?

Good morning,

Comskip plugin is working great for me.

Just noticed that the CS markers in the OSD timeline seem to be a bit bigger than the hight of the timeline itself. See attached.

Is it supposed to be that way?

Thanks for all the hard work.

Thanks for all the hard work.

I was just about to post a question about this (I suspect a lot of SageMC users who are unused to the way the Default Comskip plugin works will be asking this) - so I'd like to see:

1) an option to make the commercial marker in the timeline the same size as the rest of the timeline
2) an option to set the color of the commercial marker in the timeline

btl.

I've used CS for some time through MC. I've been noticing that the skips usually take place a few seconds after the commercial break starts and resumes just a few seconds into the show which means that I have to skip back to catch the first spoken line of dialogue. I discovered that I was set to PAL which I changed to NTSC but I didn't notice a change.

Is there something else I should try? I already have time scaling set to off.

I still have no timeline on skip. It aslo still says comskip playback options v1.5.4 in detailed setup. could there be something left over from thye previous version that is messing thus up? Uninstall and reinstall does nothing to fix this. Is this showing on skip for anyone else?

[Graygeek]

Work great! Timeline on skip is back! Thanks

[PiX64]

YUP BACK for me TOO!!

thanks everyone!

Comskip help.

I had comskip working perfectly, however after upgrading to version 7 my comskip is off. What happens is the skip is fine for the first time and then as the show continues it skips early and then starts playing early. By the end of a one hour show I have to watch 30 seconds or so of commercial.. the annoying part is the skip starting early. Many times I have to disable comskip and then take over manually.

I saw the earlier post about the sage.properties setting. I tried this and it made no difference. My recordings are done with an
HDHome Run only.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for the hard work. I see the same as the 2 people quoted above. Are there some settings?

1. I've got some playback issues on my PC, so I'd not noticed they were a different size. I'll fix that.
2. I'll have a look at that. On SageMC was the marker color themed?

Are you using the plugin manager and are running on an unmodified SageTV7.xml?

I think I got it right on Favorite Excluder. The background process doesn't work when it's not running on a desktop UI. You can set up excludes via an extender, but there needs to be a desktop UI running for the processing to work. I know flachbar looked into why that was the case, but it didn't get resolved.

I had a weird thing happen. I didn't try to reproduce it or have enough time to see what happened.

I watched 2 shows and the 1st show worked great (but I thought maybe it autoskipped but maybe not). The commercial skips were green in color.

The second show seem to autoskip from the 1st commercial. I went into options and autoskip was disabled, then changed to enabled (in front of my eyes). Could this be a delay or did it actually change. Then all the commercial sips were blue in color.

Went to a 3rd show just to see if the commercial color and it was back to green. Can someone tell me what I was seeing? Going to bed....maybe I'm just seeing things.

2.0.2 available

Fixed height of Commercial markers
Themed color and alpha of Commercial markers

Available theme values are in Comskip_Playback_Theme.properties

New version is not showing commercial markers on the timeline bar for me.
