I have the Linux version of NextPVR v7 installed and working, but there are no files or folders in the /var/opt/nextpvr/scripts folder needed for Comskip where I think the file ParallelProcessing.sh should be installed.

Thanks to AI, I have step-by-step instructions from the Internet that I used to install Comskip with (using) my Linux Debian 12 Synaptic Package Manager.  I have ATTACHED these instructions for others to use, and comment if they are flawed or inadequate.    The Synaptic Package Manager did not throw any errors during the Comskip installation.

I was very careful to be sure all the required dependencies are installed before and after the installation.  A sample of the dependencies I found installed on my system hard drive are:
/usr/bin/comskip
/usr/share/doc/comskip
/usr/share/doc/comskip/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/comskip/copyright
/usr/share/man/man1/comskip.1.gz
/var/cache/apt/archives/comskip_0.82.009+git20230112.d0cc422+ds.1-2_amd64.deb
/var/lib/dpkg/info/comskip.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/comskip.md5sums
/usr/bin/ionice
/usr/bin/nice
/usr/bin/renice
/usr/bin/snice
/opt/nextpvr/system/wwwroot/vendor/font-awesome/svgs/brands/docker.svg
/usr/share/gtksourceview-4/language-specs/docker.lang
/usr/share/nodejs/prismjs/components/prism-docker.js
/usr/share/nodejs/prismjs/components/prism-docker.min.js

Missing is the shell script  ParallelProcessing.sh   It is also missing in the Debian repository and I could not find it anywhere on the Internet.  I think we need Parallel Processing, but since neither Comskip, nor NextPVR, nor I are installing it, how do we get Comskip running?   

Also attached are my zipped Log files.  Martin, I rebooted my computer this morning to try to reduce the size of the zipped Log files as you suggested, but their size increased to 4.0 MB.

ParallelProcessing.sh is something a a user creates and is not provided by NextPVR. Comskip is just one usage. I don't support user scripts but get it working from the command line first. Parameters explained here https://github.com/sub3/NextPVR/wiki/Scripts

You have a big file that needs to roll off and maybe it will get smaller if not just use external links.
