Comskipper on PPC errors #3

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
PPC issue:

On my iMac G5...

More often than not, ComSkipper.app will not work at all.  When the program
gets to the start of a commercial segment, I get the following dialog:  

Can't make "Dict {" into type number.

With an "Edit" and "OK" button.

If I access the same EyeTV archive on an Intel Mac, with the same version
of ComSkipper.app, this does not occur.

I've seen something similar in the past, but can't recall why it happens, and I 
can't
reproduce it.

It would be most helpful if you could open ComSkipper.app in Script Editor
(/Applications/Applescript) and run it from there.  After the prompt comes up, 
the
code with the problem will be highlighted in the Script Editor's text editor.

Where in the script is does the error occur?

Should I load Comskipper.app or main.scpt into Script Editor?

Hi - Comskipper.app gives me an error "sh: /Applications/Remote: No such file or
directory". If i run in script editor, the error is generated by the "set res 
to do
shell script cmd"

Any ideas? 
10.5.1 with EyeTV 3

Nothing seems to happen in eyetv for me (apart from the occasional error dialog 
as described above 'Can't make 
"Dict {" into type number.') but the chapter markers do make it through to 
exported output just fine (show up in 
itunes). 

Comskip settings seem way off to me tho- anyone know what's best for uk 
commercial channels in the ini?

ppc is dead.  I won't bother with this.
