I have comskip configured for auto post processing run by a script set in Server/Live TV & DVR/DVR settings.
It would be great if the Record Options for live TV offered a ‘skip post processing’ option for those shows that are known to not have commercials (or any other type of post processing one may want to skip).
Of course, the option for Plex to handle multiple post processing scripts and apply/deselect on a selective basis would seem best, but that may be an ‘advanced’ feature users may not desire.
Would prefer that the post processing script passed the channel to the script as a parameter so this could be handled by the script - for example
postprocess.sh $filenametoprocess $channelrecordedfrom
This would mean in the script you could put in logic for channels that do not have commercials…
If $channelrecordedfrom = “BBC1” then skip comskip step
Guessing the channel name is part of the metadata for the recording. Mcebuddy has a selection filter based on channel name so it must be able to pull what channel a recording came from. Have never used this option but it must be possible for a filter to have been created to allow customization of what shows a conversion tasks processes.
