Here too in Las Vegas. Not commercial detection and no closed caption display too. Using the latest firmware
I'm now using some ATSC3 channels and notice some recordings aren't getting comskipped so I assume this issue hasn't been fixed yet? Is there anything else I can try to troubleshoot?
It's hit and miss on atsc3. I usually get about 25% success rate...
comskip doesn't work with 10-bit video. It's going to require quite a bit of work to make that possible.
This thread has a workaround shared by a user, the only caveat is that it's slow. I can live with that, I usually don't watch recorded shows till a day or two later anyway. Certainly better than no comskip at all!

Possible improvements coming in v2022.02.08.2018
I don't have a lot of ATSC3 recordings, so please try it out and let me know if its better.
You should be able to hit Redetect Commercials on an old recording and see if the markers are better afterwards.
Please share the log line from before and after, showing how long commercial detection took and how many markers were found in the old version and new.
I didn't have any old atsc3 recordings but I just scheduled 3 over the next 2 hours. I'll let you know how she works...

2022/02/08 15:44:07.528233 [DVR] Running commercial detection on file 1203 (TV/American Auto/American Auto S01E01 Pilot 2021-12-13-2101.mpg)
2022/02/08 15:53:49.219118 [DVR] Commercial detection for American Auto S01E01 Pilot 2021-12-13-2101.mpg finished with 4 markers in 9m41.69098061s.
For reference i5-10400 with 4 threads enabled for commercial detection. Typically detection takes about 1min 30sec for an hour show. This show is 30min. The good is it picked up 4 markers when it had zero markers before. Haven’t been able to check accuracy though

Pretty accurate on my side. I recorded 3 different shows and everything worked great. Took about 8min for a 30 min show. Normally it takes less than a minute using 7 threads on my i7 but the time difference is no big deal at all.

Great. I'm uploading v2022.02.08.2301 which should improve performance a bit.

Thanks for implementing this it will be awesome to finally have comskip on atsc3. If it takes 10 minutes, so be it. Good work!!

Never mind missed the logging part
This 32 minute recording made in the DVR server version 2002.02.07.2217 had no markers at all.
Then I updated the server to 2022.02.09.0020 and ran commercial re-detect on it. This is on a 2021 iMac (2.9 GHz Intel Core i5.)

I'm very happy to have comskip on these HEVC recordings!

Huh it should be showing them.
It shows thumbnails for your recordings right?
Is that happening for every single recording? Any errors in the log?
No errors in the log. Thumbnails show for the recordings but the thumbnails for the commercial detection don't show on any recorded shows
Are you able to right click on where one of those images should be and open in new tab to see if there's an error or something?
I don't have the option to open in a new tab unfortunately. FYI I also just noticed that the processed time is UTC. Looks like I did this 5 hours ago and I just did it a couple of minutes ago.
@tmm1 I get a 404 when I try to go to

Would the comskip.ini file be helpful?
