Comskip seems to have stopped working when transcoding my Plex recordings.

The weird thing is if I take the MKV MCEBuddy creates, run it against a MKV unprocessed profile with Comskip enabled, it will pull out the commercials from it.

NOTE: Don’t forget to attach your conversion log or MCEBuddy.log file as appropriate

You’re using a custom INI file and MCEBuddy can’t find the EDL file generated by comskip after it completes. Check that your ini file isn’t changing the default output location of the EDL file or possibly its locked by some other program.
