The firewall and antivirus have nothing to do with commercials. That’s comment was in response to your problem with not being able to upload the file to the server issue.
I checked your logs and Comskip is finding commercials but it’s having trouble saving the results to the hard disk so that’s why they aren’t being cut out.

WARNING> 2024-03-22T22:27:05 MCEBuddy.CommercialScan.Scanner → Cannot find or access EDL File
There may be an issue with the installation or file system permissions.
I would recommend uninstalling and reinstalling MCEBuddy or trying to re-install it to a different folder.
