It's also deleting the logo file, so it doesn't seem to be using the ini that's present in its folder. Not sure what's going on here? Be specific and specify the ini file to use in the command line option --ini=comskip.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just set it to run comskip in the post-processing section. I can't modify, delete or replace the ini file because WinSCP keeps throwing permission errors. I vaguely remember there being a trick to logging in as root but I've long ago forgotten it. @FrostByte? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Yes, if admin doesn't do the trick then you can configure WinSCP to use superuser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 851 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Yep, that did it. I'll set another recording and see how it goes, although I've still not done anything to specify the INI file because I don't know how to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 851 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Still a txt file and no EDL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 851 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Okay, so I've figured out a thing in PuTTY that will run it correctly, and I get an EDL file. I'm just not sure how to have that run automatically, through the equivalent of a batch file, or include the path as a variable. @FrostByte?

crusher11 851 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I created a .sh file and put that in my comskip directory, and set the post-processing step to use that instead of comskip itself. It didn't do anything though. #!/bin/sh comskip --ini=../var/comskip.ini "${path}" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say no. I'm making the assumption that you're running this script from Emby -> Live TV/DVR -> Advanced -> Recording post processing. The script will run under the context of the Emby server and current working directory is not going to be the comskip location. So it will not be able to derive the ini file location using a relative path. 5 minutes ago, crusher11 said: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (13): An error occurred trying to start process '/volume1/@appstore/comskip/bin/comskip.sh' with working directory '/'.

Once you get that resolved then the path to comskip.sh above should be included in the script for both the comskip command and the path to the ini file.

Am I supposed to replace "dirname" with a path of some sort there? Or just copy and paste that as-is? I have no idea how to resolve the permission issue.

Q-Droid 639 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 "dirname" is an actual command, copy/paste as is. You'll have to work through the Syno console to give the emby server process owner what it needs to access that location and execute that script. I can't give you details as I don't use Synology.

Login using putty and enter the following commands and that should be it, also make go to the shared folder settings and you give permission to emby to access to the directory where the .sh and .ini are saved. sudo chown -R emby:emby /volume1/@appdata/EmbyServer/plugins/ComSkipper.dll sudo chmod -R 777 /volume1/@appdata/EmbyServer/plugins/ComSkipper.dll Edited May 30, 2022 by abescalamis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
