Use ShowAnalyzer or Comskip Donator version ([http://www.comskip.org](http://www.comskip.org)) to [speed up](https://discussion.mcebuddy2x.com/t/62) commercial detection. Codec detected → h264

And it’s broken so it doesn’t run.

Why don’t you try the default version of Comskip that comes with MCEBuddy
