I just posted this on another thread so wanted to post it here as well:
I wanted to provide some information on the commercial skipper issue. For a while now I too have been seeing issues with the Plex Commercial Skipper and talking with one of the Devs concerning what I was seeing. We looked at logs and my database to try to find issues. One of the things I saw, and I don’t remember exactly when I noticed this, was that several shows were being scanned over several different nights. I have also seen a case where commercial markers were present and then disappeared later which caused me to look at the processing of the files. I was using mcebuddy so quit having mcebuddy process the files and created a post-processing script.
As part of the debugging process, I have run a couple of different experimental builds, the last one with verbose logging so we could get enough information around the issue. I am now running another experimental build with some fixes for us to look at the problem further. I have provided the Dev more logs and another copy of the database in the past day as we try to track down the issue and ensure it is working as intended. With the holidays approaching the current plan is to continue testing this experimental build and continue communication with the hopes of getting a new beta build early next year with the fixes in place for commercial markings to work better at recording time and during Scheduled Tasks.
