Commercial detection failed. This is from the log:

Any ideas as to what is wrong?

I’ve noticed this too. I think comskip returns an exit code of 1 if no breaks are identified. There are occasions where the process completes successfully, but just doesn’t identify any breaks. I wish that exit code could be changed so it only returns non-zero if there is an actual failure of some kind. As it is, it’s hard to know for sure that something went wrong.
