DVRMSToolbox Issue: "Unable to detect the playing file..."
"...please Restart the show to attempt detection again."
The only other cases of something similar to this that I've found on the net are slightly different, instead of "restart the show" it's "restart Media Center."
DVRMSToolbox is working fine, I can see the services running and the xml files with the commercial information are being created no worries. But I get the above dialog box when I watch recorded TV, and commercial skipping does not work.
I have my recorded TV in E:\Recorded TV, and strangely (not sure how I discovered this), if I move the recorded TV files to E:\, MCE still detects them in the Recorded TV menu, and THEN if I play them, everything works perfectly... as soon as I move them back to where MCE puts them by default, the problem arises again.
Anyone know what's going on? I have "e:\recorded tv" in the DVRMSToolbox "watched directories", so I'm not sure why I need to move the files to E:\ for it to work...
I'm using version 1.2.1.5 with ShowAnalyzer, on Vista SP1 Ultimate.

sounds like dvrmstoolsbox is not the issue. Have you setup VMC to look at e:\ and the e:recorded tv directories as part of your library.

Yep, E:\ including subfolders is part of the library. If I uninstall DVRMSToolbox, the issue goes away; this seems to point to a problem with DVRMSToolbox. But I (obviously) have no commercial skipping. For now I'm just having to move recorded TV files from E:\Recorded TV to E:\, which is annoying since Media Center insists on recording to the subfolder.
Re: DVRMSToolbox Issue: "Unable to detect the playing file..."
Unfortunately I never did get it working properly in Vista. Am now running Win7 which doesn't yet (afaik) support DVRMSToolbox at all (due to the new .wtv format).

By the way...I may have found a solution. I haven't yet done this, because it takes a while to download the package that has the DLL, but I'll let you know. For some reason DVRMSToolbox isn't throwing that error right now, tho at the same time its also not skipping commercials.
