HDHomeRun H 264?

[MCEBevo (Gary Spradling)]

If I am understanding correctly, according to this thread:

HD HomeRun Issues Request for Help

The correct answer here (modifying my original post) would be: For HDHR you should be using either the HDHomeRun H.264 or HDHomeRun Unprocessed profile and it will work fine. HDHR only supports mpg files for metadata. Make sure you have enabled the Add Information check box in the expert settings page of the conversion task to add the metadata back to the file after processing. @techpro2004 keep me honest here

MCEBuddy conversion task HDHomeRun H 264 should work successfully.

I know this is an extremely dated thread, but I recently moved MCEBuddy to a new Windows 11 PC and upgraded to the 2.6.5 version. I was using the HDHomeRun Unprocessed Conversion Task on my old MCEBuddy version/PC but wanted to try HDHomeRun H 264. I am still using the old CONNECT tuners. Can you confirm that the H 264 Conversion will remove commercials and playback with subtitles using the HDHomeRun Windows App?
Thanks

In my testing, I have not been able to get it to work with the HDHomeRun (Windows) App. My media PC is an AMD Ryzen 7, 5700G. The HDHomeRun H 264 Conversion defaults Hardware Acceleration to checked with GPU Any. With that setting nothing would convert, deselected the programs seem to convert but will not playback. I have also tested with the HDHomeRun Unprocessed converting the same programs as the H 264 Task. I was able to playback those programs with subtitles but commercials were not removed. Is there something I need to do with the Comskip options to get the commercials removed? I have not attempted any tweaking of Comskip and am using the default options as installed with v2.6.5.
