About these profiles:
The DTb SpaceSaver Profiles are a great way to archive your shows to save space on the hard drive or to integrate and play through to your favorite media browser. It is all dependant on how you decide.
Each of these profiles adds a certain amount of customizaibilty that you can configure your media center or media browser to. I will explain below each profile's function and hopefully you can decide which one is right for you.
In each download, there is an installer and Support Package builder that you can zip up and send to me with the address provided in the support package builder. If there are any questions you can email me directly at this address
Due to the immense amount of work that went into making the installer, the profiles and the
amount of support, I would really appreciate a donation. Over 5 weeks went into making these all function perfectly.
I was considering the idea of having only certain profiles available for non-donators, but these are
just too good to isolate. Lets get to it: (click on the titles to download) This revision will allow you to prompt for the archive while you are watching the show.
This is very convenient because you can see how well the show did with the commercial scanner and decide to
archive it when you want to.
This revision will automatically archive all of your recorded tv programs. I do not recommend this if you have a small hard drive. This will ALSO keep a copy of the WTV files so that you can go back to them if it was improperly cut (black screen, wrong slider).
This profile will automatically convert all of the newly recorded shows, delete the WTV file and place the DVR-MS in an archive directory.
This profile will allow you to archive the shows to MKV. After extensive research I chose this container for the Recorded TV files because it will allow you to store the subtitles/captions in the file but reduce the size to 1/3 or less without a great loss in quality
Tools:
Deletebxml.cmd will delete your old bxml files. You should create a task in Computer Management on your computer to run this at least once per week. This must be placed in the recorded tv directory to work. (Click on the file name to download it)
ShowAThenComSkip - This profile will find the commercials while the show is still recording then after the show finishes recording, it'll erase the file built with ShowAnalyzer and build a new XML with ComSkip that can be a little better with finding commercials. Change the 5th line of it to a subdirectory on your second hard drive (if you have one) such as "processingshow" and make sure the Find Commercials at the beginning of the file (when you edit it) says "SAV1" and the second says "Comskip" and you are all set. Use this profile for your WTV Condition or "All files" condition and don't forget to re-start the FW service
