Can you give Fox News a shot?
Thanks!
@tmm1 I checked other episodes of cops and it looks like the commercial detection isn't working now. When I play the episode it shows no markers. The logs show some detected but the time line on the show looks like nothing was detected.
I just submitted server logs
I had a similar experience with a couple of random CNNGo shows last night (channel 6030 for me). Both showed no commercial markers, played right through the static "commercial" screens, and both said "Verified" when I tried to verify commercials. From the logs, it seems like it should have worked:

Sure, f7b80254-dce5-4c31-8660-c683adf60e45. I ran "Redetect Commercials" (comskip) on it later and it failed:

I can't see what happened with that recording since you forced comskip on it.
What about the CNN Tonight one? It seems to have commercial markers set. They're not showing up in the player?
Wow! Can't beat this new ad detect time, it's instant.
Tested with a recording from DIY.
I verified the accuracy by plugging the adskip times from the recorded file json into my video editor.
It missed the static image blocks (Commercial break in progress. Your live stream will resume shortly.), but otherwise nailed the rest of the ads within a few video frames.
Since I rely on comskip creating a project file for my video editor, I'm glad Redetect Commercials is still available.

Great!
I plan to improve things to catch the static image blocks as well.

Mine looks like it is detecting OK but the player does not show any markers. I just submitted diags in case its of any help

Considering I put in this feature request nearly 2 years ago, I'm delighted this is possible now!
@tmm1 I haven't had time to check myself, did you activate this on HLN and CNN International too?

Will running a redirect change to the new detection? Thanks.
"Redetect Commercials" will run comskip
"Regenerate Video Index" will run the smart detector again, but it only works on recordings made with the new prereleases.

I recorded something off CNN with this morning's build and all the commercials were marked and showed up on the timeline on iOS.

Thanks, I see what's happening in the diagnostics.
Can you upload that recording too?
Then, after, try doing a "Regenerate Video Index" to see if it fixes it.
If not, then try "Fix Video Timestamps"
@tmm1 -- uh oh. I sent diags from the server as well. No change on the client after doing both of those tasks

Fix uploading now. After upgrading, click Regenerate Video Index and it should make the commercials work on that COPS recording.

I recorded another hour of CNN this morning and it showed up with commercial markers and properly skipped them. I then went back to the "CNN Tonight" recording from last night and now it has markers and is skipping the commercial breaks. It looks like it's working now!

@tmm1 no joy. I did the regenerate video index and they still don't show. I did notice that the end of time line shrank slightly when I went back into the show. Almost like it recognized the end of the show but the middle is still missing all markers
Hmm. Maybe that panic earlier broke something. Try running Rewrite Video Timestamps again first, then do the Regenerate Index.
