Comskip running on Imported Movies?

I just noticed that Comskip runs on Imported Movies .... Is there a way to Prevent This ? My Imported Movies have no commercials so no need to run Comskip. I thought I was missing part of the movie but it turns out for some reason comskip ran on them and detected commercials. I will removed my movies and wait until this is out of Ajpha.

This is a snapshot of INFINITY Wars and darks scenes were marked as commercials.

This doesn't happen unless you ran it manually for some reason, or ran some script from the forums to do it.

Appears to be operator error no problem at all

It did it again it ran comskip again on my imported Movies it ran it after an update restart.... I thought it might be operator error but now I am sure that Comskip ran on the imported movies after an update restart. Checked all day to see if comskip ran on them nothing ... The Server restarted automatically after 11 PM a short while later all the movies had comskip run on them.

These Movies are from Playon.

Can you enable the checkbox under experimental for http logging and then submit diagnostics next time it happens again

That has always been checked ... I have to trash and reimport because that is the only way to get rid of comskip markers.

Everything is set will let you know.

It happened again right after it rebooted to Install the update Today at 10:24 PM.... It only happens after it reboots and Installs an update.

Does the DVR log show comskip running?

I see you're pointing out .EDL files with a current date, but comskip takes awhile to run.

So it doesn't seem like comskip is actually running on the imported movies.

Just something wierd with the .EDL files modified date.

Something Weird is happening I think you game me an idea ... Thanks chDVRuser for suggesting something weird is happening... That Episode of charmed I moved to my secondary folder but it does not show up in Channels DVR ... IT appears that Imported file took the Charmed ID for some reason.

Here is the header of my Imported Movie ....

Here is part of the log with the same ID ....

I have some mess on my hands ...

Can you take a look at post above when you can ... I think I have a mess :grinning: :grinning: :grinning: ... no big deal I know import movies is in alpha and there is nothing that recorded that I cannot rerecord.

Here is another example where the imported took the ID. This movie was deleted a while back .. He's Out to Get You (2019) 2020-08-06-1959.mpg
