Commercial Skip for Play On recordings

When watching shows that were made by Play On using the Play On application, it can skip commercials that recorded.

It would be great if Channels DVR client could detect and skip commercials when watching shows that were created by Play On.

Thank you,

It already doss this. Is it not working?

It didn't work for me last night. I had Play On record a movie off of Tubi and then added the folder it recorded to the Channels DVR local content setting. When I watched the movie using the Channels DVR client on my Fire TV, it played the commercials.

Can you submit diagnostics from your dvr

Also, what about skipping commercials on recordings made using Plex? I've switched to Channels to record OTA TV, but have older Plex recordings for shows I like to re-watch.

You can find them on the web UI and select Detect Commercials to run comskip.

For PlayOn it should be importing the PlayOn commercial markers.

Does channels skip commercials for shows recorded with playon home or just cloud? I had lifetime desktop but switched to cloud.
I am using a ton of credits and would like to switch to home but not if channels can’t see the commercials

Yes it is supported

I noticed that 'Add Sources' shows PlayOn Cloud. Does that also apply to PlayOn Home, or is that a different setup?

It's different. The PlayOn Cloud integration automatically downloads and imports recordings from your Cloud account. Home account users need to manually import their content using the Local Sources option.

Where is the Local Sources option? Custom Channels uses m3u's

In the web UI is a Local Content section, just below Commercial Detection.
