I use this wonderful image that "watches" my libraries for .TS files, then converts them to MKV and generates the EDL files. Once the EDL files are available, the comskip plugin that @BillOatmanmade works just fine. Works fine do you have an idea to get a notification somewhere when the convert is done finally ?

fireplex 5 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 You can configure unmanic to run almost anything you want, I configured it to run comskip which creates EDL files. But my query was regarding the emby comskipper plugin, it only seems to have the option to auto skip commercials, not ask the user if they want to skip?

Intro skipping does it for intro, so it should be possible to do it for commskipper I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsmith100 0 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I decided to use MCE Buddy...I purchased it a while back, so figured I would give it a shot. I'm not re-coding the recordings, just having the EDL files created. It doesn't help when trying to cut the commercials while watching the recording, but it works pretty well for post recording, commercial cutting. Now I will focus on cutting commercials while recording and watching :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppet4k 10 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) Today Comskip created a .txt file not an EDL file... Is that also working? Why he dont create an EDL File? Can somebody explain this to me? The Price Is Right S52E91.txt Edited February 14 by muppet4k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppet4k 10 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 second question... is somebody using this in a docker? because I got a CPU Load over 90% when transcoding with Comskip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I would guess that either you checked in while it was processing or the process got interrupted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is unrelated to comskip. What are you using for transcoding? There should be a way to control how much stress you put on the CPU. Here's one example for ffmpeg.

abescalamis 76 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Question: Do any of you can help me with the command to do multiple "ts" files in the same folder? I use the following command for commskipper to do one "ts" file, but it is time consuming to do one by one. comskip --ini=/var/packages/comskip/var/comskip.ini "/volume1/Data/Media/DVR/El señor de los cielos (2013)/Season 9/El señor de los cielos S09E01 La Bestia despierta.ts" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpediem 12 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 For those who are running Comskipper successfully with an AppleTV, can you please share a little about your setup? I have a 4K AppleTV from 2021 and cannot seem to get the plugin working with it. I can confirm that it works using the Emby IOS App and also when using a browser. I can see that a commercial is skipped in the Emby server's log files when I watch a recording in either MPV or Native mode from the AppleTV. However, the video never actually skips. I have tested using the Comskipper with both the "Auto skip commercials" and "Disable On-screen Message" options enabled as suggested in other posts. I never get any visual output even if I uncheck the "Disable On-Screen Message" option. I am running Emby Server 4.8.1.0 in a Docker container on Linux if that helps. The Emby client on the AppleTV is version 1.8.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
