Recording post-processing

Calling and running Comskip is about 5% to 10% of the overall process if you want to cut commercials from the recordings.

I'm using the Comskipper plugin, so it's actually 100% of the process. All I need is the EDL file in with the recording, and I'm good to go.

The sh file works just fine, if called manually in the terminal. So it's purely an Emby problem.

There was, but removing it made no difference. Wouldn't really expect it to given we already know the .sh works. It's just Emby not running it properly.

I suspect that for some reason it's not picking up the interpreter when called from emby. As a quick and possibly last test (because I can't test myself and got nothing left) try setting the Post-Processing application call in Emby settings to this:

/bin/sh /volume1/@appstore/comskip/bin/comskip.sh

I'm tapped out. I don't have a Syno to test with nor am I running the CS plug-in or the latest server release. 

Hopefully someone else with Emby on synology can try it. 

[crusher11 854]

The plugin isn't relevant, all it does is read the EDL file. Which I can't create, because comskip won't run.

[crusher11 854]

Everything I can find for "exec format error" indicates that it's due to the lack of shebang, but the .sh file has a shebang and runs just fine if I SSH in.

So is Emby cocking this up? Has anyone had a successful Synology post-process?

If the sh file works when you SSH, it might simply be a permissions issue. The permissions group that Emby runs from may not have execute permissions on the file.

So how do I go about fixing that?

There are probably better ways to do this, but running

sudo chmod +x comskip.sh

through your SSH session should add the execute permissions.

Now there's "no such file or directory". Which is at least different.

[samuelqwe 313]

Had you changed back the post processor settings in Emby to point to just the script file?

If so, what does the script look like now?

Same as before:

#!/bin/sh
/volume1/@appstore/comskip/bin/comskip --ini=/volume1/@appstore/comskip/var/comskip.ini "${1}"

Try putting a new line in between 1st and 2nd lines with:

cd "${1}" 

Or whatever the path is to the folder holding the recording.

Also, give the script 777 permissions for the time being and see what happens.

From what I remember, I thought you tried adding /bin/sh to the front of your script’s path on Emby’s post processing settings page. Just wanted to be sure that if you did, you changed it back to pointing to just the file without anything extra.

I gave the entire comskip folder 777 permissions days ago, it was one of the first things I tried.

So what error do you get now? 

What's in the PP field within Emby? 

Does the Emby user have full access to the shell that you're running the script in?

Same error.

/volume1/@appstore/comskip/bin/comskip.sh

I don't know what the Emby user access is or what shell anything's running in (or what that even means TBH). I don't know what needs permissions for what.

Good point, Emby might not even have access to sh. It might have access to bash though, so you could try changing the first line of the script to:
 

#! /bin/bash

The error in the log might be an indication that the paths within the script are actually set up wrong then.

That’s the only other thing I can think to check, but I can’t tell you what to change it to since I don’t know how everything is set up on your system.

[CBers 6771]

I think @cayars has knowledge of the device in question, so perhaps he can do a remote session with you.

Well I tried plugging in an exact path to a file instead of a variable, and then running it in PuTTY, and I get "-sh: /volume1/@appstore/comskip/bin/comskip.sh: bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory"

If I switch back to bin/sh in the sh file, the error makes the same switch but otherwise remains.

I ran the sh file in PuTTY just fine yesterday...

[Carlo 4330]

@crusher11 If you want to PM me over what you have so far I could give it a try on my Synology.
That would probably be the easiest way as I'm familiar with the permissions set on my box.

I only took a quick look at an error posted earlier and Emby was giving an error for the working directory being set to "/".
It's either a bad message (doubtful) or missing parameter or setup needed in the script.  Hard to say without trying it myself.

[Q-Droid 651]

@crusher11 there's an example for Linux in the ComSkipper thread that doesn't use a shell script. Have you tried configuring yours similarly, using different paths of course.
