Server Version#: 1.20.1.3252 Player Version#: 7.6.1 iOS Tuner Make/Model: HDHomeRun Prime Guide/Lineup name: Comcast Using XMLTV?: No Channel number/Name: Freeform [image] [image] Hi As the title states, I am having trouble with commercial skip on Plex. It finds the commercials fine, b…

@DaveBinM 7.6.1 on iOS most recent on the other platforms. The server version I have is 1.20.1.3252

And do the files have commercial markers appearing in the item XML when you view it in Plex?

@DaveBinM No, that’s the issue. They are showing up in the recordings folder in their own XML (see above) but not being added to the item XML in plex.

Right, so that’s a server side issue, which @ahiyahiya has asked you about. It’s not to do with the clients not working

Seems like it has been an issue for quite a long time. Is there a fix on the horizon? I’m pretty disappointed with it so far due to this 6+ month old bug unfortunately.

Ah, guess I got confused by the title of this thread: Commercial Skipping is broken starting in 1.18.6.2368 which is ongoing. Regardless, it’s broken and I have no idea how to fix it. The logs claim there is a log file in the recording’s folder but it doesn’t. Seems like a pretty big bug.

Remove your custom comskip.ini file, it looks like some of the settings conflict with what Plex is trying to do.

Do I have to run a new recording to get a log file or does it show me logs after I enable it on previously recorded items? @ahiyahiya

XML Contains the Commercials, but Plex apps won't show skip button

Support for marking commercials to be skipped was only added in server 1.20.0+, which was released to beta in late July 2020.
