QQ on Comskip

I am getting this in my logs:

/channels-dvr/2024.12.27.0121/comskip -q --ini /shares/DVR/channels-data /Logs/comskip/895/comskip.ini

I do not have this directory and it is not configured for my Channels docker server.

Any idea where this is coming from?

What are your docker volume mappings?
/shares/DVR is usually the container directory that Channels DVR records to.
What do you have it mapped to on your host, /mnt/user/data/Media/ChannelsDVR ?

Yes. That's what is mapped to....as 'DVR'.

Then use a simple substitution.

Container   = Host
/shares/DVR = /mnt/user/data/Media/ChannelsDVR

So

Container:                 /shares/DVR/channels-data/Logs/comskip/895/comskip.ini
Host: /mnt/user/data/Media/ChannelsDVR/channels-data/Logs/comskip/895/comskip.ini

Make sense?

That's a great idea and I'm going to do that asap, thank you!

Is there a reason why the above directory is mapped since I explicitly didn't map it?

How did you create the container?
Docker run command line, compose, etc.
You had to have docker volume mappings in there.
Like this for docker run command
-v '/mnt/user/data/Media/ChannelsDVR':'/shares/DVR'
or this in a compose YAML

    volumes:
      - "/mnt/user/data/Media/ChannelsDVR:/shares/DVR"

I'm using Unraid and you are able to add Channels as an app. You don't have to create the container on totally manual basis.

OK, not using Unraid and unfamiliar with their Channels app.
Is it a docker app?

Yes it is. The difference is that you add your docker stuff without having to do the compose piece. Still the same docker stuff though.


This is what it looks like.

There's your volume mapping
Host directory /mnt/user/data/Media/ChannelsDVR mapped to container directory /shares/DVR


So the file you were asking about is
/mnt/user/data/Media/ChannelsDVR/channels-data/Logs/comskip/895/comskip.ini
on your Unraid host.

Well, you can mark this mystery as solved.

You get ALL the thumbs up on this app.
