Comskip only found one commercial which was cut by MCEBuddy.

If you think Comskip is not being aggressive enough to find commercials you can use the Comskip INI tool included to tune it to be more aggressive or use one of the ready made Comskip INI files described here:

but when i go thru them i see so much commercials, and before this i had read and installed verizon ini and no luck. This is so complicated.

23

Which is why there are tools provided to adjust the commercial detection to your needs. Did you you check out the link and use the Comskip Ini Editor tool provided with MCEBuddy?

24

Yes, i had added verizon ini, but still the same. I appreciate your help so much, thanks, but it gets frustrating when you can’t get it to work. Its hard to do it, can you log into my pc via teamviewer, i will allow you. Of course, if you have time.

25

i registered and asked in verizon forum ini if someone can create an ini for me. Thanks again buddy, i owe you. And again let me know if you want to log into my pc, Thanks

26

i posted a reply to their forum cause it did not work. Back to square one.

27

yep no help, but thanks again for trying. I really was hoping i can get it too work.

Hey, I also have verizon fios, here is my ini file, it works pretty well to remove commercials and the beginning of the next show, for the most part. Give this a try and let me know. Im working on trying to get it to remove the ending of the previous show since I have set plex to dvr 1 min. before and after the show time
