Give the recording request a seriesID on the JSON payload, then after one recording go to the series' page in the DVR to turn off commercial detection for that series.
Great, I'll give it a try.
One option I'm considering is a list of channel numbers for which comskip will be skipped. This has been requested by @Robinlmp and other UK users in the past. Would that work for your usecase?

The option for pre-selecting channels (UK) to not comskip would be good... yes please.
Yes, that would work for me. The only reason I don't ComSkip is because it doesn't work at all on some channels, and is not needed on PBS where there are no commercials.
I didn't get a chance to add a UI for this today, but the API backend is there in the next prerelease.
For example, if channel 1009 is PBS:

Great! I just added 5 channels. I'll see what happens in a few hours.

I added Channel ID's and it did not seem to work. Then I added real channel numbers and it now seems to work.
Is there a way to remove the wrong numbers I put in?
Thanks much for this WONDERFUL feature.

I never used -XDELETE before, so I gave it a try. It reports success no matter what I send, so there is no way to know if it actually did anything.

What about GET /comskip/ignore/channel? Or any path further up the chain?
I haven't used that new option yet, but check settings, they should be in there.

I just verified that's where they are
Yet another problem solved. Yet another thing learned.
You guys are GREAT!
Awesome. I was just thinking about this the other day. Hoping for the UI portion soon 
Any updates on adding a UI for this? I would like to disable ComSkip for all my ATSC 3.0 channels.

As referenced further up in the thread, you can do this for each ATSC3 channel:
But no, there is not a UI for this yet.

I just tried after upgrading to the fastest beta by using:
http://dvr:8089/comskip/ignore/channel/840
and got:
404 Not Found
You made sure to use the PUT method, yes? A GET request (the default if you don't specify one) would indeed return 404.
having never used curl, this took some reading and then I tried:
curl -method put http://dvr:8089/comskip/ignore/channel/840
This appears to be valid
what is the opposite of "ignore"?
Thank you. I'm going to kick off a recording to check the for the desired effect before doing lots of channels
If you mean, "How do you reverse the process?", the answer is use the DELETE method at the same endpoint.
curl -XDELETE http://dvr:8089/comskip/ignore/channel/840
