Channels DVR Server
#1

Hi All!

Brand new to the Channels App. Just setup the server last night. When it runs the Comskip, it fails. Here is a copy of the log text.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to make this work?

Thanks!

I see that was your first recording.

Have you made any more recordings and does comskip work on them?

The developers would have to get involved since the only other time exit status 43 was mentioned it was never answered. @tmm1

IIRC, an exit code of 43 indicates the process ran out of memory while trying to process the file. (NAS devices generally do not have lots of extra RAM since serving files is not a memory intensive procedure.)

We recommend Intel based NAS

#5

I'm all set now... I had to switch to an old Windows laptop since support for things I already own are dwindling.

@Brian_Levin
What Model of NAS are you using?
