My server is a Synology DS1019 running DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 3. However, my preferred playback device is an (AppleTV 4) running the PLEX app.
Here you go. Yep the container looks missing:
Before: Deliver Us.xml - Google Drive
After I did a manual re-analysis: Deliver us -after manual analysis.xml - Google Drive
I run a MacOS server. Did you need anything further. I can easily record other things if you need more examples.
Nope I have enough info for now.

Hi. I tested with 1.21.3.4046, and itās still an issue. Mind you, I did not see any mention of this in the release notes, so thatās to be expected. Any update you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks.
Any update would be most welcome. Is it a confirmed issue now?
I can confirm that this issue happens when that container info is not available and that analyzing fixes it. I havenāt confirm why itās missing that info. Itās there on my test DVR recordings.
Is there any further tests youād like me to do. I have noticed that some recordings do direct play and donāt have the ācontainerā error message and others need the manual analysis as before and have the ācontainerā error message. This is a change from when all recordings needed a manual re-analysis.
@johnnynav and @wesleybear84 might have noted this change too.
Recorded this today: /Inside Culture with Mary Beard (2020)/Season 02/Inside Culture with Mary Beard (2020) - S02E06 - Inside Culture with Mary Beard.ts
And get the error:
recorded: Bloodlands (2021)/Season 01/Bloodlands (2021) - S01E01 - Bloodlands.ts
Before manual re-analyse: Bloodlands before manual re-analyse.xml - Google Drive
After manual re-analyse: Bloodlands after manual re-analyse.xml - Google Drive
Any update on this? Has it been logged as a bug or are we not that far yet? @anon18523487
Yes it would be nice not to have to analyze everything I record before watching it. Thereās another side effect of this problem too. Using the āskip adsā function when the file hasnāt been analyzed causes the playback to freeze. The playback has to be stopped and restarted to get it playing again.

Yep. I noticed that last night too, on Android TV (Shield).
I think that behaviour makes sense too. If itās being transcoded, you canāt suddenly skip forward without some delay.
Oh, thatās not good.
Can either of you provide me a sample that includes the entire intro so I can test this?
Iāve filed it with the team. This skip intro bug makes it more urgent so if I can get this confirmed, it may get more attention.
Does Skip Intro use the same process as Skip Ads? I donāt usually use Skip Intro but I always use Skip Ads. If you tell me what I need to send you, I can.
Itās not possible to run the skip ads after itās already been recorded so I wonāt be able to use that. If the episode has an intro, PMS can scan that so I can try to reproduce on my end.
Iām surprised that after the intro detection ran, that it didnāt fully analyze the file and it was still left without the container info.
Iām not really clear on what you are saying. Are you saying that Skip Ads is different than Skip Intro? I use the setting āDetect Commercials and Mark for Skipā when I record shows. Skip Ads doesnāt work properly if I havenāt manually analyzed the show prior to watching it. I rarely see Skip Intro because most shows that are recorded from an antenna start right into the show.
If I donāt run āAnalyzeā on the show before watching it, the show doesnāt Direct Play because Plex canāt figure out the container. And then when I hit the button to Skip Ads, the playback is frozen for the length of time it takes for the commercials to actually play. I can also exit out of the show and resume it instead of waiting for the commercial play time. When it resumes, the show resumes at the end of the commercials.
If I run āanalyzeā on the show before watching it, the show Direct Plays and Skip Ads works properly. Clearly the Skip Ads problem is related to the fact that the show is not Direct Playing and/or the fact that the type of container is missing.
No, Iām saying that i can run Intro detection on a sample you give me so i can then try to reproduce the issue. I cannot run Ad detection so I canāt test that. The intro/ad information is saved in your PMS, not the file so giving me a sample with an ad wonāt help.
Has there been any progress on this? I can see itās been a week since any communications has taken place. Are you still waiting for a file? If so Iāll be happy to provide you with whatever you require. Just let me know what file you need.
Thanks
Johnny
