I was having problems with my server crashing and the logs suggested it was linked with commercial detection. I tried a few things, but nothing seemed to solve the problem until I renamed my
"Channels DVR/channel-data" folder to "ChannelsDVR/channel-data". Since, its been rock-solid.
Maybe the space was the culprit? Anyway, leaving this here just in case someone else runs across a similar problem down the road.
A space in the folder name.
Is your Channels server running on Windows?
In the past there was an issue with the length of the recording file filespec being too long
i.e. path_to_recorded_file/recorded_filename.mpg
but that was fixed awhile back. The recorded filename is also now truncated to shorten it.
No, its macOS. The message I kept seeing was something along the lines of "etc commercial detection etc etc Channels DVR/channel-data etc". To restart the crashed server, I actually kept having to reboot. This would happen sometimes multiple times per day. After changing to ChannelsDVR, it hasn't happened once. My thought was perhaps comskip might be throwing an uncaught error.
