Taking ~30 min to process per show

Used to run MCEBuddy back on my old HTPC with Win 7 and Media Center. RIP Media Center.

I have recently built a new Emby Server on Win 10: i5-3570K, 16 GB Ram, 128 SSD, Nvidia 660 Ti.

Emby is recording in .ts format. It is taking about 30 minutes to remove the commercials from a 60 min show and about 15 min for a 30 min show. Is this right? I don’t remember is taking this long before. I am using comskip ver 82_010 donators edition. MCEBuddy is on 2.5.4. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

I have attached my logs. mcebuddy.rar (364.8 KB)

You need to attach the conversion log, you’ve attached the engine logs.

Sorry about that. Are these the right logs?

At the end of each log it shows you a performance summary of the various activity and the time it took for each actions. According to this it took about 3 minutes to detect commercials (Advertisement scan), 16 seconds to strip them out and 8 minutes to convert the file (h.264 hardware encoder avg 144.00 fps). That’s a pretty decent speed. Overall beginning to end was about 15 minutes.
