WMC then resumes as before, as though I never installed anything.I don't really care if there are commercials or not, I just hate to have to get up from the couch and run across the room to turn my computer's volume down, in order to prevent the 20-30 decibel jump that occurs when a commercial starts. Commercial mute would satisfy me.Also, has anyone determined whether the mouse hijacking that often occurs can be remedied?

I don’t really care if there are commercials or not, I just hate to have to get up from the couch and run across the room to turn my computer’s volume down, in order to prevent the 20-30 decibel jump that occurs when a commercial starts. Commercial mute would satisfy me.

Also, has anyone determined whether the mouse hijacking that often occurs can be remedied?

Can you explain this to us? Thanks Jeff Micheal, I’m not sure what you mean when you say “Then press the Add Directory button to add your Recorded TV directories to the service”.

As soon as I replaced the showanalyzer install with a previous version, everything started working. I am using DVRMS to do file monitoring, aside from that I followed the above guide.

I am now using DVBTools instead and stability has at least returned to the DVR. Show analyzer is reporting no commercials, will downgrade and if successful, will try to help with revised tutorial here.

The engadget tutorial offers some advanced options. I was able to get it going from the tutorial over at Engadget, I didnt find success with this guide either although I appreciate the effort.

Have set these all up per the instructions given in this article. I can see the SA is working as it is creating the XML files in the correct directory and DTB addin is showing up in Media Center extras library. The right and left buttons on my MCE remote will turn autoskip On and OFF so all appears to be working correctly. However, no commercials are being skipped. Have tried on several different recordings with XML file and no commercial skipping is taking place. So where should I go from here to troubleshoot this problem.
