Skip ParallelProcessing.sh on all BBC channels

[TokenVideo22]

Is there a way of preventing ParallelProcessing.sh from executing if the channel name contains "BBC"?
There are no adverts on BBC channels and running comskip can cause spurious advert breaks to be detected which then interrupts the recording playback flow.
The channel name is not passed as a CLI parameter, so wondered if there was another approach?

Thanks

You would need to use channel number or channel oid to do that https://github.com/sub3/NextPVR/wiki/Scripts

Came up with a workaround.

With SQlite3 installed you can query the "Channels" table in the npvr.db3 database to ascertain if the recording's channel number has BBC in the associated channel name. If it doesn't, the comskip process executes, otherwise it gets skipped and ParallelProcessing.sh exits

#!/bin/bash
IsBBC=`sqlite3 /var/opt/nextpvr/npvr.db3 "SELECT name FROM CHANNEL where number = $2 AND name like '%BBC%';"`

if [ -z "$IsBBC" ] # if result is blank
then
echo "This is not a BBC show, executing comskip..."
/usr/bin/nice -n 19 /usr/bin/comskip --ini=/etc/comskip.ini "$1" > /var/opt/nextpvr/logs/"comskip-${5}.log"

else

# Result wasn't blank, channel name contained 'BBC'
echo BBC recording skipped > /var/opt/nextpvr/logs/"comskip-${5}.log"
fi
