How do I turn this off? I don't want it because I use Kodi 95% of the time, and the skip function is much more versatile than the other Channels apps.
Everything I have watched today I have had to skip back because of a commercial added in a wrong spot. Very annoying and it ruins the experience.
I can turn it off on channels where it isn't working. Which channels are having issues?
All of them. I haven't had a single show remove commercials properly. 3 shows on ESPN and Morning Joe on MSNBC come to mind today. There were others which I have already deleted. I will list them here when I run into another with a problem.
Are there plans to turn this off? It is very annoying.
MSNBC does not use the new detection. (As per the main thread, NBCUniversal channels do not use the new detection. NBCU channels are MSNBC–OXY; 6050–6061.)
My Morning Joe recording on Kodi skipped a portion I was watching. I will screen shot it next time.
That has nothing to do with the new detection, then.
Most likely one of two things happened:
I get a pop up that says commercial detection, and it has red portion on the time line showing the "commercal".
Never had this issue before this automatic commercial detection started.
Add The Herd with Colin Cowherd to another recording with wrong commercial detection. FS1.
Likewise, the new detection is not enabled on Fox networks, including Fox Sports and Fox News networks.
From the main thread:
I will keep working on adding support, but it looks like it is not possible to implement for these:
- ABC, including disney, freeform, ngc, fx
- FOX, including fox sports and fox news
- NBC, including bravo, syfy, and other nbc.com/live stations
You can see by the timeline that it is playing where it says the first commercial is.
I'm not saying there aren't commercial markers; what is being said is that it is not related to the new TVE ad detection.
It is either an error of some other sort, or something with the regular comskip ad detection.
Comskip has never been engaged because I don't want commercial detection.
This issue started when this new "feature" was added. Never before.
Are you saying you have disabled:
(You are aware that commercial detection is not, and has never been, perfect nor consistent, right?)
I am aware of that and why I don't want it.
1.) Yes it is off and has never been on, although I toggled it a week or so ago attempting to troubleshoot the issue.
2.) Every recording I watched today other than my local Fox news show had issues. Fox local news show no commercials detected.
3.) Sorry don't understand question 3.
Commercial detection can be set at 3 levels:
I was referring to the specific programs' setting for detection, as that is separate from the global setting.
(There is also a fourth condition, but it must be manually done via the command line: certain categories can be ignored for detection, such as disabling detections for all recordings marked as "Movie". But, I would think that if you did such a thing, such as enabling detection for "News" regardless of global setting, then you would have remembered.)
Do any of those settings matter if I have commercial detection unchecked on the main page?
In the override settings, commercial detection is not and has never been selected.
Just to verify, in the logs of your DVR, after the recording, there are indeed lines indicating that commercial detection was run?
