Is there any way to turn commercial detection off per channel or show? It never works on any of my ABC recordings which I’ve learned to live with but I wish I could stop it from trying as it just runs for 30 minutes or so tying up system resources. I see no way to cancel it while in progress or tell it to ignore shows recorded on ABC.
You can disable detection for an entire channel, but there is no UI for it.
Alternatively, if you go into a show's page, there are options to disable commercial detection for that program. (This can also be done on the client apps, too.)
curl -XPUT http://yourip:8089/comskip/ignore/channel/1.1

Oh I’ll check for the one on the show itself. I’m not sure how to send command line commands to it on the NAS. Thanks.
I found it on the web interface but only for shows that still exist on the DVR. That option should be put on the pass settings too.
Correct, the option is only for a show that has at least one recording. And because of the way passes work, it is not possible to define this in the pass.
You can also disable commercial detect per show using command line curl and the SeriesID of the show.
Linux curl
curl http://<dvr_ip>:<dvr_port>/dvr/groups/<SeriesID> -XPOST --data-raw '{"IgnoreCommercials":true}'
Windows curl
curl.exe http://<dvr_ip>:<dvr_port>/dvr/groups/<SeriesID> -XPOST --data-raw "{\"IgnoreCommercials\":true}"
If you ever recorded a show (even if you deleted it) you can find its SeriesID in /dvr/groups
http://<dvr_ip>:<dvr_port>/dvr/groups?all=true
If Channels is running on a NAS can I still run the Windows command from my PC?
Yes. I do that sometimes from my Windows PC with Channels DVR running on my Synology NAS.
