I deleted and recreated my DVR in order to get switched over to Gracenote. All fine and dandy, but I forgot to recreate the settings to cut out commercials.
So… now I’ve got recordings that missed commercial removal, and are less than pleasant to view.
I tried to run “Plex Commercial Skipper.exe” via command line and ran into codec not supported? What the?
What am I missing here?
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Plex\Plex Media Server>"Plex Commercial Skipper.exe" "c:\users\myuser\Desktop\Airplane (1980).ts" --ini="c:\users\myuser\Desktop\comskip.ini"
Comskip 0.82.005, made using ffmpeg
Donator build
The commandline used was:
"Plex Commercial Skipper.exe"
"c:\users\myuser\Desktop\Airplane (1980).ts"
--ini=c:\users\myuser\Desktop\comskip.ini
Setting ini file to c:\users\myuser\Desktop\comskip.ini as per commandline
Using c:\users\myuser\Desktop\comskip.ini for initiation values.
Mpeg: c:\users\myuser\Desktop\Airplane (1980).ts
Exe comskip.exe
Logo: c:\users\myuser\Desktop\Airplane (1980).logo.txt
Ini: c:\users\myuser\Desktop\comskip.ini
Detection Methods to be used:
1) Black Frame
2) Logo - Give up after 2000 seconds
3) Resolution Change
4) Aspect Ratio
ComSkip throttles back from -0001 to -0001.
The time is now 1141 so it's full speed ahead!
