#4 Strips away show and deletes backup.
I just tried this on "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century - s01e01 - Awakening Part 1.mp4" recorded from NBC using PlayOn. The result was a 35 minute epsidode and 13 minute advertisement file. The only problem is the episode is actually 48 minutes long, and the original file was 58 minutes long. The advertisements seem to some of the missing parts of the episode. The rest just seemed to disappear. The backup was automatically deleted, so there is no original to compare with to findout what exactly went wrong...
Same issue with "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century - s01e05 - Vegas in Space.mp4", only this time the Advertisement.mp4 file was deleted, so there are even fewer clues as to why parts of the show were removed as commercials.
I think I understand the issue. The fundamental assumption is ad-skip for play-on works. But when I play the same videos in play-on with ad-skip, I still see lots of ads, and I am willing to bet the same parts of the show are skipped. I was hoping play-on actually detected being sent to separate source. But it looks like it simply detects ads the same way plex does, but with worse tuning for older 480p shows.
