I have noticed that on some shows, the default commercial skipper will cut off the end of a scene, or start of a new scene. Sometimes it seems to be even a few seconds - but those few seconds can be critical.
Is there a way to set something like “+3sec” on either end of a commercial cut for a sort of safety factor?
Nobody else experiences this?
I experienced the same behavior with the default settings. Some part of the movie was cut and some commercials wasn’t.
It’s most annoying when it cuts off the entire show opening before the titles run and the last scene that sometimes comes after the end titles.
It’s a shame it can’t just mark commercials like getchannels does as that works well for this and means you don’t miss anything
I had 2 primary issues
I made a ‘custom’ comskip.ini (it’s just the default one with 2 changes) to work around it
For #1 I added always_keep_last_seconds=120
For #2 I changed shrink_logo=5 to shrink_logo=0
The shrink_logo issue appears to be a bug, I made my change based on this thread

Which seems to point to a semi-recent change to comskip and how it affects the default shrink_logo=5

- I’d constantly lose the end of the show
- Some shows (big bang in particular) would consistently cut off a few seconds before a commercial

For clarity, did you simply edit the existing comskip.ini located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Plex\Plex Media Server\Resources - or did you make a new DVR directory to get it to work as noted here? https://support.plex.tv/articles/115003944134-removing-commercials/
If you edit the default comskip file without creating the folder as specified, you better keep a copy of the file outside of Plex because each time you update Plex will overwrite your modified file with the default. Creating the folder for your modified file ensures that Plex won’t overwrite it during updates.
Where in Comskip.ini did you add The line to keep last seconds?
I think you can add it anywhere in the file, it just needs to be in there somewhere.
Ok thank you. I will just put it at the end and see how it goes.
