I was watching a TV episode today and when the commercial started, I didn’t see the skip commercial button. At first, I thought maybe the commercials weren’t identified but when I checked the episode XML (below), they were there.

I thought the Early Access Preview include features like skip into and commercial skip, but I guess I’m just noticing that it’s no there. (In fairness, I primarily watch Plex on a FireTV4K in another room). Has anyone else noticed this

I appreciate your reply! I have my DVR set to mark commercials and it’s marking the commercials in the episode XML as expected. My concern is I thought that commercial skip was available in the early access preview for the Samsung Plex app, but it doesn’t show the skip option like my FireTV4K does.

Did you check the “ Player App Support for Skipping Commercials” list?

No I didn’t. LOL Thank you, that answers my question. It’s not set up on that platform yet.

Where is this setting located? I don’t see on TV Plex App or Server Settings?
