If you don't want it to work like that, then by all means don't follow these settings, if you aren't sure how to change the behavior, post in the comments and we'll try to help. Now in the event that part of a show was incorrectly marked as a commercial - it does happen on occasion - what we want to do is simply disable the auto skip altogether and skip 'em manually. In the event that the show has not been scanned yet, we just want to watch the show and skip commercials manually. When a recorded program is played back, we want the commercials to be skipped automatically without even pressing a button. If your Recorded TV directory isn't flat like it is by default in Media Center, then check the Recursive watch check box.īefore we get into this, lets go over how we want this to work because there are lots of options. We also checked the automatic cleanup so temp files get deleted, as well as the Include Watched folder (although we don't know what it does).

Towards the bottom, make sure the Log Create and Log Write check boxes are checked, otherwise it can be difficult to troubleshoot when things go wrong.

If you have tons of disks, load up Resource Monitor in Windows and monitor the Average Disk Queue length to see what your box can handle. If you are very sensitive to a lagy UI, you should set this to 1. We found that our dedicated Recorded TV Hard Drive really can't handle more than two workers and let us watch TV at the same time.

Set the workers to 2, which is how many shows will be scanned at the same time.

On one hand it is nice to be able to automatically skip commercials while a show is still recording, but on the other it occupies a worker for a much longer time (more on that next).

Wait Time should be set to 0 if you want recordings to be scanned for commercials while they are still recording, 5 if you'd prefer to wait until the recording is completed.

You can add more directories, one per line, if you store recordings in more than one folder.

The Watched Directories needs to contain your Recorded TV directory, which should be filled by default.
