Commercial Detection pblm

#1

Recorded two programs from Fox News Channel.
Both failed to do Commercial Detection, here's the last one's exit code: Both failures had this code.
2024/02/28 20:24:11.591887 [DVR] Commercial detection failed for Jesse Watters Primetime 2024-02-28-1859.mpg: exit status 1
The last previous recording on Saturday night from Hallmark Ch did Commercial Detection properly
as it always does..
I have never seen it fail, also I may not have recorded Fox News before.

IIRC, an exit code of 1 means no commercials were detected.

Most likely true that comskip didn't detect any commercials.
If you look at the comskip log file for the recording, near the end it will show Total commercial length

Total commercial length:    0:00:00.00

  F: scene	 c: change

The TVE feeds for Fox News and Fox Business do not have detectable commercials.

Thanks.
That’s what I figured.
