Comskip Playback Odd Behavior

[kirschey]

When watching a show comskip detects it properly. When playing back it begins to skip, but does not read the endpoint of the detection and keeps going. I have two sets of logs. One from last week. One from last night but pulled today.

Realistically, there is nothing we can do for v4 these days.

I have v5 installed and was going to go back to it, I just don't remember how to enable the V5 backend on windows and have it take over for V4. Do you have link or should I simply install over the version I already have?

Also I know not the place, but if there is a way to enable plugins in the clients that would be a huge boon for me and I am sure others.

Basically can stop the "NextPVR Recording Service" and set it to disable auto startup. (and later you can uninstall it)

Then install NextPVR v5 using https://nextpvr.com/NPVRSetup.exe. If you want to use your existing setup, you can copy your old npvr.db3 and config.xml into c:\users\public\npvr-data (from c:\users\public\npvr) then restart it. If you had IPTV channels, you might need to delete those and recreate them.

There is no plugins for v5. It's based on different technology, and the few old NextPVR v4 that existed are not compatible. (while I could do work to add support for plugins, those original authors would need to come back and update them to be compatible, which I doubt is going to happen)
