muzicman0 59 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Can you walk me through an example? Not that I am an expert on this. What I am referring to is if you hit a commercial break, and it skips the commercials appropriately, but then go back before that commercial break (the same one it previously skipped), then it should not skip again, however, future commercials should be skipped. So, in theory, if you skip (say 30 seconds at a time) to the end of the show, then skip back to the beginning, then maybe no commercials would be skipped. But again, I am no expert, and I don't typically use Emby as a front end player (I use Kodi). This is just how I would expect it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever it skips a commercial it will not skip that commercial again. That's done as mentioned above, in case it skips too far ahead you can rewind back and watch where you like. If you fast forward the plugin a long way, it may think it hit a skip spot so after rewinding back it may not skip it again. I wouldn't think jumping way forward then going back to near the beginning would be a normal use case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone else have this issue? If not, is anyone using the "edl_skip_field=3" which is required for Kodi usage? Wondering if that is my problem. If "edl_skip_field=3" was the problem I would think it would not skip any commercials. Your issue is likely the browser client not respecting the command to skip after just starting playback.

Thanks guys, that sounds good, I think you are right, in real life usage I wouldn't be bouncing around so much, and I do like the behavior that if I do go back it won't skip in case I am trying to see if I missed something. Thanks for the clarification. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe ComSkipper uses the same Remote Commands as Introskip (Plugin) does/did - this is the Client Compatibility for the Introskip Plugin which may help you. https://github.com/chefbennyj1/Emby.IntroSkip.Release/wiki/8.-Emby-Client-Compatibility-List 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusher11 850 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 It seems my post-processing randomly stopped working in July and nothing recorded since then has an EDL file, which leads to two questions: 1.

muzicman0 59 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 So the last 2 weeks I have been out of town for work, and was using Emby to watch recordings, with EDL files. Only the first marker would function. Any ideas where to start troubleshooting this? Sometimes if I would stop playback and start again, then the next marker would work, and sometimes it wouldn't. But I never got more than 1 commercial to be skipped. I tested the EDL files through another application that supports EDL, and they work fine in both Kodi and JRiver.

Turn on debug logging and watch the show then look at the log if it behaves wrong. If you dont see anything send it to me. It could an issue with the player you were using on the road since I assume its not the one you use normally. But the logs should show that.

If there is a problem with the command somehow (software update did something?) you should see it that way as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no problem manually running it for the recording I was watching when I discovered the issue, but I don't know how to do them in bulk. I have no idea why the post-processing command isn't firing properly, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
