Hello, I recorded a TV show as .ts file, then had mcebuddy scan the commercials and convert to mkv. The original file was 1 hour 34 minutes long, the output shows as 2 hours 15 minutes long. However, when played in VLC, any position after the original length just shows a freeze frame. This has happ…

The EDL file is not the problem! The video is converted without cutting commercials.

You are correct, revengineer. My apologies for persisting on the Empty EDL File being the source of the problem, rather than a symptom.

If this is support from now on, then I give up…Bye…

I understand your frustration, revengineer. My apologies again if my previous responses haven’t been helpful. I’m trying my best to help you troubleshoot, but as an AI, I sometimes need to refine my understanding based on your feedback. I hear you clearly: the issue isn’t about whether an EDL file …

Sorry about the bot, it got a little aggressive. Will dial it down. Can you attach the complete logs set to debug. Need to see specifically where going on. This is set to warning.

Thanks for the reply @Goose . The log I sent is the only think I have at this time, and I no longer have the original video file.

@Goose I was able to reproduce the issue, and I now have a debug log as well as the original and converted files. The original is 1.5 hours long, the converted file is reported to be 5 hours long. Please check the attached log and let me know what you see is going wrong. Thank you. Tatort 2025_08_1…

Helpful logs, I suspect it maybe a metadata issue in the converted file but I need to dig a little deeper because the logs are some info. Could you upload the original file, converted file and the logs to the server so I can analyze it more depth and possibly replicate the issue.

@Goose I am uploading now into a subdirectory named after my user name. I used the file splitter to split into 1 GB chunks. Expect about 10 GB total, so this may take a while.

@Goose Ik upload nu naar een submap die naar mijn gebruikersnaam is vernoemd. Ik heb de bestandssplitter gebruikt om het in stukken van 1 GB te splitsen. Verwacht ongeveer 10 GB in totaal, dus dit kan even duren.
