Disable commercial detection on a particular pass?

Is it possible to support commercial detection being enabled at the pass level?

I set up a team pass for NFL Football so that I could only run commercial detection for games in the team I'm most interested in. However, I can't configure commercial detection at the pass level.

Because commercial detection takes so long on my server (2015 Macbook Pro), recording all NFL games leaves a big queue for all of a football Sunday. It would be ideal if I could enable it just for one pass, or per recording even.

No because that pass is going to put everything it records into a single show. NFL Football.

Commercial indexing is a setting at the show level.

What about turning off commercial detection for all NFL Football, and then manual trigger it for just the games you want processed?

Where is there the option to disable commercial detection for a pass? Or are you saying turn it off for everything and then manually trigger it for whatever recording I want?

How do I manually trigger it?

I think this is a no-go though because for my wife's shows I want it to be seamless. She won't know how to trigger it for her shows, nor want to go to the server, etc.

Not for a pass, but for a show -- which in this case is NFL Football. Here's an example for a different show:

And if you want to tweak the commercial breaks after processing, to make them more-or-less perfect (which is very easy):

Thanks for this - I was able to turn off comskip at the show level now for those long form sports. Much appreciated!
