If the issue is related to our commercial skipper can you please do the following;

1. Confirm server [DEBUG logging](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201643703-reporting-issues-with-plex-media-server/#toc-1) is enabled, VERBOSE logging is disabled.  
SAVE if changes.
2. Restart PMS
3. Give it two minutes to start and stabilize
4. Start a recording
5. Let the recording finish
6. Let the commercial skipper finish
7. Download the [server logs](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/)
8. Attach the logs so I may see them

If you have any previously recorded videos, depending on your server and/or library settings, you can either manually trigger the commercial skipper by Analyzing the video or readding the video or performing a [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064).
