Folks - apologies in advance if this in another thread - couldn’t find it easily…
I have nutted out post processing with Plexcompskip.py from the great contributions in a number of posts - Thanks! Appreciate the community of assistance.
I have 2 x HDHomeruns (1x Connect and 1x Dual), turns out my CPU whilst transcoding on the fly and running comskip (via Plexcompskip) simply isn’t coping. I drop packets/system calls after two simlultaneous recordings - third simply doesn’t record - it’s corrupted. Kinda negates having two HDHomeRuns…
I **think ** I’d like to:
NOT Transcode on the fly (i.e. record in .ts Transport Stream), remove advertisements whilst in .ts file format, then OPTIMSE the SERIES via Plex when I have idle processor available.
MP4 is probably the most versatile format for me as I have a Roku and ATV4 on a couple of tele’s.
I’ve manually run comskip -t $1 in a script and it detects the commercials okay, so I know it can input the file format okay.
I need that python magic to overwrite the original recording with the post processing output file. However my python skills are simply rubbish - need help.
Happy to share whatever files I need to in order to get this going.
Thanks in advance,
