Maybe someone doing what you are, or a developer can help since I don't run Channels DVR on Windows.

Well I do thank you for the help a lot of times it's just throwing out ideas or talking throught it that gets it solved.
TBH I'm surprised one of the Devs has not dropped in and beat me about the head and shoulders for mucking up their weekend :grinning:

Still seems to show some kind of error in the logs but plays almost instantly in the GUI now.
And here are the results of detection.

Ok so I was now able to run comskip from the options for the 3 recordings I had earlier today that failed.
All ran with no issues, although the last recording is a bit strange in the results as in the math for time does not add up.

Summary
16 min show + 4 min ads = 1 hr 2 min
0.00s — 518.77s
518.77s	show
(9 min in 2 blocks)
518.79s — 730.10s
211.31s	commercial
(4 min in 6 blocks)
730.12s — 1140.83s
410.71s	show

I don't know what's going on with that one :rofl:
