I have a comskip.ini specifically for CBS and then one for everything else. When using media center I triggered the right task based on the channel name. I’ve recently switched to plex which is doing a great job with mcebuddy but currently have no way to determine the channel since it’s not part of the filename. Is there a way I can correct this short of listing every single show name I want for a particular comskip?

With the latest 2.5.2 build MCEBuddy can show you the channel metadata if available, see this post for a screenshot:
