Commercials not removing after upgrade

Which upgrade from which version to which version? I am on the latest beta and it seems to have stopped for me too. So wondering which version of plex it stopped with…

Yes, I am having the same problems as well! What the heck is going on Plex?

Hi all, any updates here ?

So, I noticed this wasn’t working for me a while back as well… when I went into my DVR settings just now, I noticed that the commercial removal had gotten unchecked… I know I did not uncheck it, so maybe a server update removed it?

This thread is worth a go. (I didn’t have the DVR folder there after a recent upgrade)

Hehe, if you look 2-3 posts above the one you linked, I shared my comskip.ini file with them… My DVR folder is still intact with that same .ini in the folder, just I guess somehow the “Remove Commercials” option got unchecked… silly me for not checking, but… hopefully when it records tonight, it will remove commercials… if not, I’ll just move the ini over to MCEBuddy and call it a day…

A circular conversation Jason !
Sad day; I checked my remove commercials box was still checked, and did have to create the DVR folder and put int he comskip.ini file into it, but still no joy. I’m determined to get it going again, as it was such a great feature; and it also keeps you sane.

Well, not sure what the difference is between your setup and mine, but my recordings last night and today all had commercials removed again. What OS and such are you on?

11

W10 and using PMS v 1.18.7.2457.

Hmm, I am on Version 1.18.8.2468 of PMS; same Windows 10.

You added the folder @ C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server ?

Noticing the same problem: Plex not removing commercials. DVR settings are correct.

I have just added a custom comskip.ini file and will report back.

I feel your pain ! I sorted it finally, thanks to some help as per:

Have a look. My soln is in there.

Adding the custom comskip.ini did not work for me.

I am new to PLEX, I paid for the upgrade for life and I still have commercials. I am trying to figure out what I paid for. I am not a wiz at the tech stuff, but I am learning. Is this normal?

This has been ongoing problem since end of February

I was using an older computer as my server. I had same issue after last upgrade. I needed additional Ram for a game I wanted to play on my computer (went from 4GB to 16GB). Was supprised and happy on my next Plex recording… commercials now gone like magic:)

I upgraded RAM from 12 to 32 GB this last month and new changes. Commercials are still there
