I’ve been messing around with Comskip on the command line - after some experimentation, it looks like the --hwassist and --dxva2 seem to speed up comskip pretty dramatically. Does MCEBuddy do that optimization as well? Is there an ability to add that in the profiles? Thanks! Will.

Yes you can do that now, see this [image] Comskip - how to add CLI options New Features Added and fixed in 2.6.1 release build Conversion task → Expert settings → Comskip options NOTE: Setting an incorrect parameter here will cause Comskip and the conversion to fail! …

Good question, in our testing with intel cards it found it to be inconsistent hence we didn’t auto enable it but it can be done. What’s your setup like? Can you test with and without the dxva because that‘s a particularly tricky option which we found slows down decoding on older GPU’s.

I’ve got a pretty beefy machine – 10 physical cores, RTX 2080 Super, 64 gigs of ram. I found that using the dxva2 was the fastest, followed by –cuvid (~10% slower). I didn’t try vdpau. If I didn’t specify a dxva or any of the other switches, it was roughly ~60% slower using just the –hwassist Th…

Have you tried settings the hardware_decode option in comskip.ini? hardware_decode=0 ; Set to 1 to enable hardware accelerated video decoding, only available in donator version You can use the Comkip INI Editor, under the CPU Load Reduction tab, included in the comskip folder to do it using a …

I have tried that – I found that when I do so, I get audio sync errors. I’m not sure how that happens, but when I uncheck it, they go away. Oddly enough, if I jump forward or back in Plex, the audio resyncs, but I don’t see that behavior when I don’t have the HW Acceleration box checked… IIRC, I…

Separately, can you tell me what the behavior is when MCEBuddy finds an EDL file for a given recording and comskip is selected? Does it ignore that EDL file, or does it just use it instead of running comskip again? Thanks!

It’ll use the EDL (or EDLP or any other recognized commercial markers like in PlayOn) it finds before it detects a commercial using comskip or showanalyzer

Is there any way to have MCE Buddy invoke the donators comskip using the --cuvid? I have a very old Core2 quad with a 1050TI that I would like to see how/if I can gain any hw acceleration using the gpu vs the cpu. I just enabled the -U for my MP4 profile. But comskip is still a dog with me having e…

in experimenting with manually invoking comskip from the command line with the HW and CUVID flags in place, you do get a big boost in processing time, but I ran into audio sync issues. This is mentioned in Comskip’s forums.

So I watched things run last night and it appears that Mp4 normal and Fast both are using ffmpeg, Fine… but I recall that ffmpeg cannot use HWaccelleration, correct? Should I edit my profile to use handbrake instead? I guess I can…just have to make sure I save a tv recording for testing purposes. I …
