I use an i5-6600K (3.5Ghz) with 32GB of RAM - In review of my logs, it takes approximately 15 seconds to process a 30 minute show and 1-1.5 minutes for an hour show for commercial removal and transcoding to an mp4. I have a paid version of comskip and MCEBuddy, which I believe expedites the process of commercial removal from hours to minutes. Thinking back to when I used the free comskip included in MCEBuddy.
I already had the solution in place before Plex offered commercial removal. And if it ain’t broke, why fix it? I started with the “US - Comcast Xfinity” and sometimes it’ll miss a commercial or two, and sometimes it’ll cut a small portion of the show. When I review the tuning doc at http://www.kaashoek.com/files/tuning.htm, I found using the ComskipINIEditor in the comskip directory to help somewhat understand the settings.
I haven’t looked at this topic in quite awhile and found this Plex thread that hopeful will improve my commercial detection. PLEX DVR - Tuning comskip.ini - What are some changes that people are making to the default?
Happy Commercial Skipping
