COMSKIP - Commercial Skip Taxing my Server CPU

Channels DVR Server
#1

running channels server on older MacBook. It runs nothing else. Noticed fan running recently and checked status and COMSKIP is eating up over 150% of CPU.

I did a cold reboot and still showing it. Any thoughts on troubleshooting or changes in settings?

Thanks

MacBook late 2013, BigSur 8mg ram

In the settings page, about 1/2 way down or so there is a section titled "Commercial Detection" that you can change the thread count. Setting this at a lower number will use less of your cpu during comskip functions, although it will take longer to run through the show or movie to mark commercials.

I wonder exactly what that did. Assumed lower number might help, but was not sure what it meant. So, if it still does that work later, that will be fine. Switched from 2 to 1.

thanks
