Continues to detect commercials after show is deleted

[mimt01]

I've noticed under Settings that shows that I delete just after they're recorded are still undergoing commercial detection. I could see a scenario where the show may be restored so why not detect commercials anyway, but even after emptying the trash the commercial detection continues. Seems like it would be a better use of resources to stop the detection if a show is deleted. And it would be more efficient if detection could start for a different show, one that's still in the Library.

I agree, it would be more efficient if the running comskip process was stopped when the corresponding recording is permanently deleted.

@shepherdr also agrees the current behavior is unexpected:

Comskip continues to run even if user selects to delete the file

Just noticed this. Was recording a programme today but wanted to update the DVR. So stopped the recording and the status page changed from recording to detecting commercials as expected. So rather than wait for com skip I decided to delete the recorded file. I expected com skip to stop immediately and the file to be deleted. It did not. I killed it from SSH and then the file was deleted and the DVR updated itself. I would expect comskip to be terminated by the DVR if a file is deleted by the us…
