Spurious error with Enhanced Commercial Detection

Using a Windows server, I get an error on every recording telling me Commercial Detections failed ..... No blocks found then a couple of minutes later I get Commercial Detection completed. Not sure if this is expected and commercial detection seems to be working fine.

@Michael_Birk Please submit diagnostics from your DVR so we can check it out.

Apparently, it doesn't happen every time, because a couple of recordings overnight didn't show the error.

I saw this in my log Jeopardy as well and also on Windows. It's a cosmetic error as the commercial skip works fine.

Thanks folks. I’m tracking it down.

This should fix it. Thanks for reporting the issue!
