Now sure what's going on, not all my recordings from yesterday and today, have zero commercials detected. And no option to edit confirmation, re detect does nothing.
Not sure what happened here.
I did now see a server update was waiting, so I did install the update now. I'll check when the next recording finished of it will detect commercials now.
Anyone else had issues with this??
Working here on latest stable release (which is same version as latest prerelease).
What does it show in the Channels DVR log for commercial detection.
This is what it looks like if the new smart detection is used
[ADS] Detected 2 commercial markers in file-1527: TV/Canary DIY Recording/Canary DIY Recording 2023-01-22-1320.mpg
And this for comskip detection being used

Here is another one I found in the log. I think it's the exact same error....

I'm not sure what exit status 16 error is.
Maybe viewing the comskip log for that recording will give a hint.
The comskip log file is in your DVR recording directory Logs\comskip\7490\video.log

Looking at the sources for Comskip (the program that does commercial detection), an exit code of 16 means "Could not allocate memory for logo frame buffer".
This means your system likely doesn't have enough free memory/RAM to complete the detection, so it just quit.

I don't get it. That makes no sense. i have plenty storage memory left.
I'm gonna try to restart the computer.
Oh wow! Fixed
Ok I fixed it. Thanks for this info.
I figured if it's low ROM I checked what's running on the PC. Turns out I left Bit Torrent running, I closed that down. And clicked redetect commercials for one show, and it's detecting now!
Thanks so much

How do I switch it over to the new Smart detection??
You can't.
Channels DVR decides when to use it.

I am having issues with commercial detection. Seems only to be on shows retarded on my HDHomeRun prime. OTA HDHomeRun shows are working fine.

Any idea what the problem could be. This has been working fine since I got the HDHomeRun prime a few months ago.
It is uploading now. Really slow. It is a large file hope that is ok.
Thanks
I'm having the a very similar issue.

Working now. Thanks for the help!
Commercial detection failed on Will Trent last night. I retried it a few times, then updated to the latest pre-release (2023.02.01.0638) and retried again, but it still won't work. I had two other recordings last night and two this morning and it worked fine on all of them, but when I click Redetect Commercial on Will Trent comskip.exe runs for about 5 mins then ends with no results.
I've had this happen a few times before on the rare occasion, and since I still haven't found a solution, I figured I might as well reach out to let you know.
