2 copies... 1 regular, 1 'commskipped;

Server Version#: latest ubuntu beta plex
Player Version#: NA

latest tv recordings leave 2 shows…
first = tvshowname.ts
second = tvshow-comskupped.ts

Is plex not cleaing up after itself?

Yes, I am using the commercial skipping feature.

Do you have dvrRemoveComskipFiles=0
in your Advanced server settings?

I dont see that documented… I found where it should go :slight_smile: but it is not listed in advanced settings.

in any event, it is not in my advanced config…

should it be

No, it should not. It was only temporarily used during the alpha phase, but I figured it can’t hurt to verify.

Hmmm… Am running latest beta… Could it still be an issue?

Are you using a custom post-processing script?
Maybe there is something going wrong there?

Or maybe, the file was being ‘locked’ while PMS was trying to erase it (virus scanner?).

Ubuntu… No virus.

No post proc.

Hapenning on all recordings where i have comskip set

Note… I have the dvr default set to skip… And that was not working… So i went to each recording setting and changed from plex default to skip.

I am having the same issue. Seems to have started only in the last few weeks as it was skipping the commericals and saving the files with no issues before. I am seeing in the log it is now failing to rename the commskipped.ts file and leaving me with duplicates.

I double checked the permissions on the folders and everything looks okay, not sure what changed to start causing this.

I run lat4est Beta… I am wondering if this is related to that?
