Dramatically improve commercial skip in USA

Wow, did Jason’s settings ever work. Game changer!

I’m guessing if i’m not on Windows then I might need to edit lines like the mpeg2schnitt_options & avisynth_options to remove those Windows executables and libraries?

Anyone else have input on using this on Linux/Ubuntu/Raspian ?

Interesting. It’s not working well for me on Jeopardy. Any tweaks/tips?

Well, it’s a cat and mouse game. For Jeopardy specifically, sometimes adding a 1 minute padding at the end of a recording helps. It usually gets the first break well, the second break before double usually gets cut, and sometimes, final gets cut out completely! You can always remove the custom comskip.ini form the DVR folder and go back to the default setting. And, for real, the comskip tweak is good, however, I feel it is a mixture of science and art, trial and error to get just right for you.

Just wanted to add a reminder, or note for those not already aware, but plex recently added an option for commercial skip (instead of remove), so that can help avoid any inadvertent destroying/removing of non-ad content.

Of course even with (skip-able) commercials, it’s not quite the same experience.

Good point. I need to move from Kodi to Plex for viewing so I can make use of this.
