I’ve been using MCEBuddy for many years and this is my first problem I havent been able to resolve.  
My TV shows are no longer converting TS files into MP4 in their destination folder. Log attached, any help would be appreciated!

I got it working… Uninstalled everything and started clean.

The problem was I was not using the built-in COMSKIP program. I have been using the purchased version stored in a different folder. I guess something must have changed to break it so I’ll just stick with the version that comes with MCE Buddy.

You can use a custom version of comskip, see this topic for installation instructions.

> [@How to install a custom Comskip and get additional INI files](https://discussion.mcebuddy2x.com/t/how-to-install-a-custom-comskip-and-get-additional-ini-files/64):

> Starting version 2.6.4 MCEBuddy now includes a custom donator build of Comskip with 8K hardware acceleration and support for native decoding of additional file formats (including MPEG2, H.264, HEVC, AV1, VP8, VP9 etc). Also see additional information about [enabling Comskip hardware acceleration](https://discussion.mcebuddy2x.com/t/tuning-comskip-and-custom-comskip-inis-country-channel-specific/29#a-namehardwareusing-hardware-decodinga-6) and [benchmarks](https://discussion.mcebuddy2x.com/t/59/2). Please continue to support the Comskip team for their work at [http://www.comskip.org/](http://www.comskip.org/)[Also Check out the Channel / Country specific Comskip INI’s created by our community users here](https://discussion.mcebuddy2x.com/t/custom-comskip-inis-country-channel-specific/29) Th…

Keep in mind that the comskip ini file that ships with MCEBuddy is different from the one that comes with the donation version you purchased. You can combine the best of both worlds using the instructions above.
