Commercial Skip perfomance

According to this post there's an ability to adjust the number of processors the commercial skip will use?

Where is this file / setting on a WD NAS app implementation?

The comskip.ini would need to be uploaded to /mnt/HD/HD_a2/Nas_Prog/ChannelsDVR/channels-dvr/data

Awesome, thank you.

My next question is probably pretty obvious! Where can I find a relevant copy of comskip.ini?

There is a copy of the INI Channels uses in the recording folder in the logs subdirectory.

Awesome, thank you. Found it here:

/<path_to_share>/ChannelsDVR/Logs/comskip/<various_folders>/comskip.ini

I assume it's the same ini in all these folders?

Actually noodling around that folder raises more questions than it answers...

Why does a Logs directory have full copies of the video.mpg files inside it?

Those are symlinks ... just references/pointers to the actual recording.

When commercial detection starts Channels creates that directory, puts a copy of the INI file in there, as well as a link to the video to process.

That'll teach me for poking around in a Windows folder viewer, rather than proper Linux ls

Thanks, it makes sense.
