Comskip Support Forum

The other solution I came up with that also worked was to install wine and use the windows version comskip.exe. https://www.winehq.org Download and unzip the file http://www.kaashoek.com/files/comskip82_010.zip wine <path to comskip.exe> <path/filename of file to be processed> I still prefer using t...

Update: I found a solution that works for me Basically, I installed the older version ffmpeg-4.3.2 that worked with comskip prior to the recent upgrade. I installed it into a non-traditional directory, /$HOME/bin. With installation in /$HOME/bin the change only affects a single user and if you dele...

I was mistaken, comskip with no comskip.ini or with a comskip.ini that only contains "detect_method=43" still ends up with a segmentation fault. For testing I was running comskip on a variety of recorded *.ts files. With no or very minimal comskip.in it runs ok for several recordings then ...

I am having a problem with comskip on Arch linux using ffmpeg 4.4-1. Comskip runs to completion if no comskip.ini is specified. With my very old comskip.ini it failed with a segmentation fault all or nearly all the time. I thought it might be the comments in the file were somehow not being recognize...

I know this thread is ancient. I experienced the same problem in the past of the GUI window closing as soon as comskip finished processing the file. Fast forward to current time and the GUI is working as expected. The window stays open after comskip-gui processing, I can move about with keys "n...

Thanks Erik,

I got it figured out with some help from JavaWiz in the NPVR forum.

Below is my batch file. To be clear I modified a batch file from the NPVR wiki created by javawiz. I use it to specify different ini files for different channels. I want to have an ini for football games. I often watch one game live while recording another and it would be great to have the commercia...

Is "added_recording=" really minutes as indicated in the note of the ini file? Everything else time wise seems to be seconds. added_recording=14 ;(0-MAXINT);Amount of minutes that a recording is longer then the actual show + closing commercial if any) ;;This value is used to determine the ...

I was working on another ini file, I am setting up channel specific ini's, and came across another instance of E blocks that were commercial and not cut. On closer inspection they were all over 120s but less than 190s. I had modified min_show_segment_length=120. I changed it to min_show_segment_leng...

Thanks Erik, I suspected as much. I wish I had saved the log file from the other show as I looked at the time and thought it was less than 600 s aka max_commercialbreak=600. Maybe my eyes shifted up or down a line without my knowing. Related to that "len" is the time I should be looking at...

In the past I have used other peoples ini files to configure and run Comskip. They worked well but always missed some commercial or skipped some show. Hence, I decided to educate myself and make my own modification to make commercial skipping better. I have had some success but I have had two shows ...
