Commercials not being detected

These are two separate topics, the 2.3.13 (free) version doesn’t support creating wtv files which has been fixed in the newer donator versions (i.e. WTV profiles are broken in the 2.3.13 version).

Not detection commercials is a Comskip configuration/tweaking issue. There could be multiple reasons for why commercials are being detected, some of which are:

  1. Comskip is crashing with corrupted/non compliant wtv files (a problem that was corrected recently in the latest 2.4.7 BETA builds)
  2. Comskip need to be tuned for your channel/show. Comskip INI’s tell comskip how to detect commercials. It works out of the box 99% of the times. For some channels/networks it needs to be tuned. There are detailed guides on the forum (here and Comskip) on how to tune Comskip INI’s and even some ready made customized INI’s for various countries/networks/channels contributed by the community that are available here.

Check out some of these resources on this category Commercial Removal and you can get custom comskip INIs’ created by the community here:

If you attach your conversion log file it we can take a look at and tell you why it isn’t detection commercials.
